Grazing Table Catering in Hinjewadi

Yes — that is exactly what we cater here. Around Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park the venues we work are IT campuses, corporate cafeterias and society clubhouses. Hinjewadi sits inside our Pimpri-Chinchwad run, alongside Pimpri, Chinchwad, Nigdi, Akurdi, Wakad. The whole PCMC and Hinjewadi-Wakad belt sits inside the standard service run, so no travel line appears on the quote.

A grazing table is quoted per station rather than per plate: ₹18,000–₹65,000 per station. Quoted per station by length and produce, not per plate — the one booking we take under 100 guests. Everything else we serve alongside it sits inside ₹450–₹2,200 per plate. The rate covers chefs and counter cooks for every station and chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery; gST on the invoice and premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce are quoted on top.

At 250 guests — the size these bookings usually run to — we plan 3-4 live counters and 10-12 service staff, with 16-18 dishes on the menu and 4 hrs of setup. The ratios behind that are one live counter per 75 guests and one steward per 25 guests, or one steward per 12 guests for plated service. Because Hinjewadi work is mostly IT campuses, corporate cafeterias and society clubhouses, inside a corporate building the load-in runs on gate passes and a goods-lift slot rather than on our own timing, and service has to start and finish inside the break the office has scheduled.

A grazing table is built in place on the day and cannot be moved once it is dressed, so the position is final: it needs length, shade and a room cool enough to hold cheese and charcuterie safely. In practical terms we need a long table position out of direct sun, fixed at the recce and not moved on the day. We confirm it at the recce before the date rather than on the morning of the event.

Two to three weeks is comfortable for most Hinjewadi dates. Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity. Township clubhouses and lawns book in bursts around the October-to-February wedding season, while the Hinjewadi and Wakad IT campuses run steady large-format corporate bookings through the year with an annual-day and Diwali spike. Weekday bookings here are overwhelmingly corporate; weekends are overwhelmingly weddings and large family functions.

Yes. Any menu we cater, this one included, can be cooked pure vegetarian, Jain or satvik on a separate line with separate utensils and separate storage. A second line means a second counter, so in Hinjewadi — where we are working IT campuses, corporate cafeterias and society clubhouses — the layout is planned for it at the recce rather than squeezed in later. The tasting happens before you confirm, so the menu is signed off before anything is paid.
