Planning tips

Share the venue's vendor policy early, confirm power points, and request sponsor branding files a week before.

How to plan an event coffee service in Bengaluru

Five or six decisions, in the order they come up. Work down the list and nothing important gets left to the final week.

  1. 1

    Shortlist the venue and get its vendor policy

    Step 1

    Large-format events in Bengaluru usually land at BIEC or Palace Grounds. Ask for the vendor policy early — passes and insurance requirements vary widely between venues.

  2. 2

    Check the access reality, not the brochure

    Step 2

    Loading bay, service lift, dedicated 16A power and a water point. City convention centres are straightforward; heritage and farmhouse venues more often need a generator capacity confirmed instead.

  3. 3

    Size counters to local guest flow

    Step 3

    We serve across Koramangala, Indiranagar, Whitefield, HSR Layout and the rest of Bengaluru with no travel charge inside city limits. Outstation venues elsewhere in Karnataka are quoted with travel at cost.

  4. 4

    Book around the local season

    3–4 weeks ahead

    Bengaluru peaks through the winter wedding and conference months, and weekend dates in that stretch need four to six weeks of notice. Off-peak weekdays can often be served inside a week.

  5. 5

    Confirm 72 hours out

    72 hours before

    Final headcount, venue contact, access window and branding sign-off. Our local crew loads in 90 minutes before first serve and packs down cleanly afterwards.
