Siliguri rate card

Corporate Coffee Catering pricing in Siliguri

Siliguri pricing for a corporate coffee catering starts at ₹160 per guest and falls as guest count rises, because the first machine, the travel and the setup are fixed costs however many people turn up. Most Siliguri bookings land in the 100–250 guests band; pick the package nearest your event as a budgeting anchor, and the final quote only moves if your hours, menu or branding change.

Why Siliguri sits where it does on our rate card

Siliguri is a Tier-2 city on our rate card, which means a corporate coffee catering is billed at our base national rate with no metro loading — typically about 13% less per guest than the identical setup in Mumbai, Delhi or Bengaluru. The trade-off is equipment logistics: machines for large Siliguri bookings travel from our nearest regional hub, so for anything above 250 guests we confirm machine availability before we lock your date rather than assuming it.

Capacity planner

Staffing & capacity for your Siliguri guest count

Capacity for a corporate coffee catering comes down to three numbers: how many drinks land in the busiest hour, how many drinks one counter can hold, and how much floor space the Siliguri venue will actually give you. Here is how those play out from 50 guests to 1,000, and where a typical 100-guest Siliguri booking sits.

5004 crew (incl. 1 runner)3 machines6 × 2 m4 hrs~850 cups
1,0007 crew (incl. 2 runners)5 machines10 × 2 m4 hrs~1,700 cups

Peak-hour demand, not headcount, sets the machine count. Figures match the national corporate coffee catering planner so a Siliguri quote can never contradict it.

How we get to those numbers

One counter is one crew member plus one machine, and holds about 75 drinks an hour at a pace it can sustain all event — push past that and both shot quality and queue time suffer. Not everyone drinks in the same hour, though: for a corporate coffee catering roughly 35% of guests order inside the busiest hour, which is why 1,000 guests need 5 counters rather than twelve. That works out to about one machine per 200 guests. Across a full event, plan on about 1.7 cups per guest. These are the same figures behind the national corporate coffee catering planner, applied to Siliguri crew rosters.

In Siliguri the constraint is equipment rather than crew: baristas are local, machines travel from our regional hub. A late headcount jump of 20–30% is normally fine, but if you cross 200 guests inside the last week we may split the service window instead of adding a machine. Tell us early and the plan stays simple.

Venue playbook

Siliguri venues & load-in

Most Siliguri bookings go wrong at load-in, not at the counter. Below is how we approach each kind of Siliguri venue — the access route, the power point we ask for, and what the vehicle needs — so your venue manager can sign it off in one email.

Open ground, maidan & exhibition lawn

Kanchenjunga Stadium

Access: Vehicles can usually reach the stall line, which makes load-in quick, but dust, wind and a sudden shower are all live risks. The counter arrives covered and skirted, with weights on the canopy legs.

Power: Supply is from a DG set rather than mains. We need a dedicated 16A spur off the generator — not a tap on the lighting loop, which browns out the moment the stage lights come up.

Parking: Hard standing beside the stall for the unload, then the vehicle clears to the service gate.

Hotel ballroom & pre-function area

Mayfair Siliguri

Access: Banquet service lift plus an in-house F&B clearance for outside beverage. We bring our own counters and work to the hotel's outside-catering policy, so no kitchen or pantry space is needed.

Power: Pre-function areas have 16A points behind the skirting in most properties. The banquet engineer confirms which one is free, and we test it before the machine comes off the trolley.

Parking: Service-entry bay for the unload, then the basement vendor lot. Most properties want vehicle details the previous evening.

Banquet hall & wedding lawn

Banquet halls & wedding lawns around Matigara

Access: One ramp or one lift, shared with the decor and catering teams on a function night. We arrive two hours before guests, build behind the decor line, and keep the counter clear of the entry sightline.

Power: Halls have dedicated 16A sockets, but they are frequently already loaded by the DJ and the lighting board. We ask for a separate point and carry our own extension and surge protection.

Parking: A single bay near the service entry for 45 minutes — tight on back-to-back function nights, so we book the slot with the hall manager.

Corporate campus & coworking floor

Corporate campuses & coworking floors in Ashrampara

Access: Gate pass, material-inward entry and a booked service-lift slot. We schedule load-in outside the 9–10 am lift rush, and crew IDs go to facilities and security the day before.

Power: Pantry and atrium circuits are usually fine, but floor-box amperage varies. Facilities confirms one 16A point per machine, and we avoid UPS-backed sockets, which trip on an espresso machine's inrush.

Parking: Visitor or vendor bay with a gate pass. Many campuses only allow vendor vehicles before 09:00 or after 18:00.

Homes, villas & apartment clubhouses

Homes, villas & apartment clubhouses in Burdwan Road

Access: A lift-friendly kit: the compact machine, counter and crates break down to fit a standard passenger lift, and the whole build takes about 45 minutes in a flat or clubhouse.

Power: A regular 16A household point is enough for the compact machine, but it must not be shared with an air conditioner or a microwave on the same circuit.

Parking: One visitor bay for 45 minutes. Societies usually want a resident's approval slip at the gate.

Power is where Siliguri events get caught out. One corporate coffee catering counter draws about 3.4 kW and needs its own 16A point — not a shared extension off the lighting board, which is what venues offer first. We send your venue a one-page power and water sheet on the day you confirm, and the crew still arrives with a 20 m industrial cable, a 16A-to-3-pin converter and an RCD, so one tripped socket never stops service.

A tenth-floor town hall in Sukna and a lawn on the Siliguri outskirts are two different jobs. The first is a paperwork problem: gate pass, lift slot, crew IDs, material-inward entry. The second is a terrain problem: generator spur, floor plates under the wheels, a weather canopy and a longer run from the vehicle to the counter. We price both the same way, but we plan them completely differently.

We cover all of Siliguri within roughly 30 km of the centre at no travel charge, including Sukna, Hill Cart Road, Salugara, Pradhan Nagar & Bagdogra, and the Siliguri crew runs outstation across West Bengal — Kolkata are routine. Beyond the free radius there is one itemised line on your quote for vehicle, fuel and tolls, plus crew stay on late-finish or multi-day events. On weather: monsoon waterlogging is the real risk to a load-in slot, so between June and August we add an hour of buffer and keep the kit on raised crates until the counter is built..

Booking

How booking a corporate coffee catering in Siliguri works

Booking a corporate coffee catering in Siliguri is five steps, and only one of them needs anything from you beyond a date and a headcount. The timings below are Siliguri-specific — they account for venue sign-off, equipment moving from our regional hub and peak-season crew rostering.

East India peaks Durga Puja in September and October, then a dense November-to-February wedding and conference block, and Siliguri follows that calendar closely — in September, October, November & December the constraint on a corporate coffee catering is crew and machine availability rather than price, and eastern wedding dates run from late November to February, with a second, lighter block in April and May after Poila Boishakh. The quietest window is June to August, when waterlogging decides most outdoor plans, which is when a Siliguri date can still be held at 48 hours notice. On the drink mix through the year: cool, dry winter evenings make a hot coffee and kulhad chai pairing the default order from November to February. Through the humid months, iced coffee and nimbu-based coolers take over almost entirely.

  1. 1

    Send the Siliguri brief

    Day 0 · reply in 2 working hours

    Tell us the date, the Siliguri venue, the guest count and how long you need the counter open. We come back the same working day with a counter plan, a menu, the crew and machine count from the planner above, and a per-guest rate for Siliguri. No site visit is needed for a first number.

  2. 2

    Venue sign-off on power, water and access

    T−7 days

    We send your venue a one-page sheet: 16A points, water, the 2 × 2 m footprint and the load-in window. For Kanchenjunga Stadium and the other large Siliguri properties we do a short recce; for hotels and offices an email from the banquet or facility manager is enough.

  3. 3

    Lock the date, menu and branding

    2–3 weeks out · 5–7 weeks in peak season

    A 30% advance holds the date and the Siliguri crew. 2–3 weeks is comfortable for a standard date; in Siliguri's peak months (September, October, November & December) allow 5–7 weeks, because eastern wedding dates run from late November to February, with a second, lighter block in April and May after Poila Boishakh. Custom-printed cups and counter branding add about 10 working days on top.

  4. 4

    Passes, vehicle and lift slot

    T−1 day

    Vendor passes, crew ID numbers, the vehicle registration and the service-lift booking all go in 24 hours ahead. This is the single most common cause of a delayed Siliguri load-in, and it is entirely avoidable. We also exchange on-site mobile numbers so nothing stalls at the gate.

  5. 5

    Load-in, live service and strike

    T−90 min · strike in 45 min

    The crew reaches the venue 90 minutes before doors, builds the counter, tests the venue's own power point, dials the grinder in against the day's Siliguri humidity and tastes the first drinks before guests arrive. After close we strike in 45 minutes, carry out segregated waste, and send a cup count and a GST invoice within 24 hours.

Local answers

Corporate Coffee Catering in Siliguri — your questions

The 9 questions our Siliguri team is asked most about a corporate coffee catering, answered with Siliguri numbers rather than generalities.

How much does a corporate coffee catering cost in Siliguri?
Pricing in Siliguri runs about ₹160–₹320 per guest for a 50+ guest event, including baristas, equipment and consumables. Final quotes depend on guest count, hours and menu.
Which areas of Siliguri do you cover?
We cover all of Siliguri — including Sukna, Hill Cart Road, Salugara, Pradhan Nagar, Bagdogra, Matigara — plus nearby towns in West Bengal. There's no travel charge within city limits.
How early should I book in Siliguri?
2–4 weeks is ideal. During peak season (October to February) we recommend 4–6 weeks.
What do you need at the venue?
A 2m × 2m space, one 16A power point per machine, and water access nearby. We bring everything else, including counters, cups and consumables.
Do you provide GST invoices for corporate events in Siliguri?
Yes. We provide GST invoices, support vendor onboarding and accept POs for companies in Siliguri.
How many baristas and machines do I need for 100 guests in Siliguri?
For 100 guests we would plan 1 counter and 1 crew for a corporate coffee catering. The arithmetic: about 35 drinks land in the busiest hour, one counter holds roughly 75 drinks an hour, and from two counters up we add a runner for cups, milk and queue flow. Across a 2.5 hrs window that is around 170 cups and 2 m × 2 m (4 sq m) of counter space — a plan you can hand straight to your Siliguri venue.
What do you need from a Siliguri venue like Kanchenjunga Stadium?
Supply is from a DG set rather than mains. We need a dedicated 16A spur off the generator — not a tap on the lighting loop, which browns out the moment the stage lights come up. On top of that: a level 2 × 2 m spot per counter with one open serving face, water within about 15 m, a bin point, and 90 minutes of access before doors. Vehicles can usually reach the stall line, which makes load-in quick, but dust, wind and a sudden shower are all live risks. The counter arrives covered and skirted, with weights on the canopy legs. We bring counters, machines, grinders, cups, beans, milk and every consumable ourselves, so no kitchen or pantry space is needed.
Does the Siliguri menu change with the season?
Yes, and it should. Cool, dry winter evenings make a hot coffee and kulhad chai pairing the default order from November to February. Through the humid months, iced coffee and nimbu-based coolers take over almost entirely. We set the Siliguri menu board to match the month rather than printing one list for the whole year, and Americano, Masala Chai & Green Tea are the orders that move fastest here. Sugar-free, lactose-free, oat-milk, vegan and Jain options are available at no extra cost — tell us the split and we carry stock accordingly.
Do you travel outside Siliguri for events elsewhere in West Bengal?
Yes. The Siliguri crew covers Kolkata and smaller towns across West Bengal, and we handle destination events anywhere in India. Inside roughly 30 km of Siliguri there is no travel charge at all. Beyond that we add one itemised outstation line — vehicle, fuel and tolls on a round-trip basis, plus crew stay at actuals on late-finish or multi-day events — quoted upfront, never added afterwards.
