What we do
What Is Coffee Break Catering?
If you are organising a conference, board meeting, workshop, training or seminar, what keeps delegates alert, comfortable and on schedule is a well-run coffee break. A coffee break typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, and everything from setup to snacks needs to be ready before delegates walk out of the session room. Hauchi Kay treats this as a specialised catering discipline, not an afterthought bolted onto a lunch menu.
Timed to the agenda
Short refreshment windows between sessions, designed to re-energise delegates without disrupting the programme.
Tea, coffee and snacks
Freshly brewed coffee, teas, hot chocolate, light snacks, fruit, juice or water, plus proper cups and napkins.
Self-service or attended
A clearly labelled table for smaller meetings, or a trained attendant for conferences and larger corporate events.
Why it matters
Why Coffee Break Catering Matters for Meetings in Kenya
Delegates who are hungry, under-caffeinated or standing around an empty table lose focus fast. Reliable meeting coffee catering keeps the agenda on time, signals professionalism, and lifts energy through the next session.
Keeps the agenda on time
A well-stocked, well-staffed station means breaks end when they are supposed to, instead of running long because people are still queuing for coffee.
Signals professionalism
Clients, sponsors, board members and trainees notice when refreshments are fresh, well-presented and consistently restocked.
Who needs it
Who Needs Coffee Break Catering?
We design the schedule around your programme, not the other way around from a single mid-morning workshop break to a two-day conference refreshments schedule.
Conferences
Full-day or multi-day industry events with morning, mid-morning and afternoon service points and attended stations.
Workshops & training
Hands-on sessions that often need a well-timed mid-morning break, sometimes paired with an afternoon top-up.
Seminars & lectures
Half-day programmes with a lighter coffee and tea station, scaled up for longer or multi-track seminars.
Board meetings & AGMs
A compact, well-presented station, often self-service, that keeps things simple without feeling under-catered.
Corporate training
Staff onboarding and training programmes with recurring coffee break catering companies can book regularly.
Networking breakfasts
Business breakfasts and networking events where a quick, professional tea and coffee setup sets the tone.
Why choose us
Self-Service vs Attended Stations
We help organisers choose the right format based on guest count, venue layout and the tone of the event.
01
Self-service
Budget-friendly for smaller internal meetings. Guests help themselves from a clearly labelled table.
02
Attended stations
Standard for conferences and larger events. An attendant restocks, brews fresh coffee and keeps the table tidy.
03
Faster breaks
For large delegate numbers, guests are served rather than queuing to serve themselves.
04
Tea as well as coffee
Every package includes a full tea selection so chai drinkers are never an afterthought.
05
Setup and cleanup
We arrive ahead of the first session and leave the venue exactly as we found it.
06
Dietary notes
Vegetarian snacks and lower-sugar alternatives when we know in advance.
Break schedule
Morning, Mid-Morning and Afternoon Coffee Breaks
Not all breaks serve the same purpose. These three service points form the backbone of a conference coffee break schedule, timed against your agenda.
- Runs alongside registration or after opening remarks
- A quick pick-me-up before the first working session
- Typically light: coffee, tea, water and a pastry or mandazi
- Laid out so guests grab something without holding up registration
- Ready before delegates walk out of the session room
- The most important break of the day for most conferences
- Falls after the first one or two sessions, when concentration dips
- Hot beverages plus samosas, sandwiches, muffins or biscuits
- Fresh fruit for guests who want a lighter option
- Fresh juice often introduced to balance the caffeine
- Follows lunch to counter the post-lunch energy dip
- Slightly lighter than the mid-morning break
- Biscuits, small pastries or fruit
- Hot chocolate as an alternative to more coffee
- Timed so nothing overlaps with a working session
- Coffee, black tea, milk tea (chai), herbal teas, hot chocolate
- Mandazi, muffins, pastries, samosas, sandwiches, biscuits
- Fresh fruit platters, fresh juice, bottled or jug water
- Scaled from a simple office setup to a multi-day conference spread
- A generic urn and plain biscuits does not reflect well on an organiser

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in coffee break catering?
A standard package includes freshly brewed coffee, a selection of teas, milk, sugar and sweeteners, snacks such as pastries, mandazi, muffins, samosas or sandwiches, and either a self-service setup or an attendant to manage the station.
How many coffee breaks does a conference need?
Most full-day conferences include two breaks, a mid-morning break and an afternoon break, in addition to lunch. Multi-day conferences typically repeat this schedule each day. Shorter workshops or seminars may only need a single break.
What is the difference between self-service and attended coffee stations?
A self-service station is a simpler, unstaffed table where guests help themselves, suited to smaller internal meetings. An attended station has a dedicated staff member managing stock, freshness and tidiness, and is recommended for conferences and larger corporate events.
How is coffee break catering priced?
It is generally priced per person, based on guest numbers, the number of breaks required, the menu selected, and whether the station is self-service or attended. We provide a customised quote for every event.
Do you provide tea break catering as well as coffee?
Yes. Every coffee break catering package from Hauchi Kay includes a full tea break catering selection alongside coffee, so guests who prefer tea are equally well served.
