Service overview

Catering Built Around Your Agenda, Not the Other Way Round

A tea break that overruns by ten minutes can push an entire afternoon programme off schedule. Hauchi Kay plans conference and training catering around the session timetable first, sizing service stations, staggering breaks and rotating menus so food is never the reason a programme runs late.

Queue engineering

Serving stations sized to delegate numbers so breaks clear within the time allotted.

Menu rotation

Multi day programmes get a full rotation, so no dish repeats within the same week.

Dietary tracking

A running dietary sheet checked against the registration desk each morning.

Full equipment support

Serving stations, urns, chafing dishes and water points included.

Session timed service

Breaks staggered to when each breakout room actually finishes, not the whole floor.

Transparent, tiered pricing

Clear cost ranges for every package, from single day seminars to residential training.

Key options

Conference, Seminar or Workshop Catering

These formats are often used interchangeably, but each carries a different catering brief. Knowing the difference helps you brief Hauchi Kay properly and book the right service style for your programme.

Conference Catering

Large headcount events with a rigid, single day timetable and fixed breaks built around multiple speaker slots.

Seminar Catering

Half day to full day sessions, usually theatre style seating, calling for quiet, minimal disruption service.

Workshop Catering

Participatory sessions with breakout groups, needing food positioned so delegates can grab a plate without breaking flow.

Key options

Multi Day Training and Residential Programmes

Training programmes run the longest format, often spanning two to five days or more, with a catering challenge centred on sustaining variety and energy across the whole run.

Training Programmes

Two to five day courses with a full weekly rotation across breakfast, tea breaks and lunch, so nothing repeats.

Residential Programmes

Retreat venues outside Nairobi with full meal service, where staff and equipment travel with the programme.

Service precision

Getting the Timing Right

Delegate count, session structure and programme length decide whether a break clears on time. Hauchi Kay plans stations and staffing around the numbers rather than guessing on the day.

Staggered Service

Breaks served room by room as each session finishes, rather than waiting for the whole floor to empty at once.

Room Hydration

Chilled water dispensers refreshed at every break, particularly important during warmer months.

Dietary Tracking

A live dietary sheet cross checked with the registration desk each morning of a multi day course.

FAQs

Conference and Training Catering FAQs

How do you stop tea break queues from running over the scheduled time?

Through station counts matched to headcount, staggered service timed to when each breakout room actually finishes, and grab and go options for very tight breaks.

Can the menu rotate across a five day training without repeating dishes?

Yes. We plan multi day menus as a full weekly rotation from the start, so the lunch main, tea break pastry and side dishes vary across each day of the programme.

Do you cater training programmes outside Nairobi, such as retreat venues?

Yes. We travel staff and equipment to regional and retreat venues for multi day residential training, with logistics planned around the venue in advance.

What happens if our delegate numbers change close to the training date?

A guaranteed minimum headcount is confirmed a few days before the event, with reasonable flexibility built in for last minute increases.

Can you manage halal, vegetarian and vegan delegates in the same programme?

Yes. Dietary requirements are built into every day’s rotation from the planning stage, tracked against the registration desk each morning.

Does the per delegate pricing include staff and serving equipment?

Our package pricing covers food, standard service staff and the serving stations described in each tier. Branded extras are quoted separately.

How much does conference and training catering cost?

Indicative per delegate per day rates range from KES 3,800 to KES 9,500 depending on package tier. Contact us for a free quotation tailored to your programme.
