What our customers say

Last year, I had to arrange catering for an important meeting at very short notice. I was surprised by the incredibly fast and friendly service; after a short phone call, I received several offers within a few hours. I've been using Heycater ever since! whenever I need catering. I like the control via the account the best, all adjustments and questions are answered quickly. An incredible time saver for me!

heycater makes our office life so much easier. Whether it's lunch, snacks, or events – everything runs smoothly, and the team loves the variety!

Tamara Becker
“Great Christmas party thanks to heycater: I use heycater's service! for my faculty Christmas party. Even though I had to change my offer at very short notice (add gluten-free offers, etc.), my contact person was very accommodating and friendly. Even during the pre-Christmas stress, I received nothing but friendliness, customer-oriented cooperation and respect.
Hannah Görtlitz
“Smooth ordering and delivery, great food!

Had ordered the food for a full-day workshop for 12 people (vegetarian. /vegan sandwiches, mini croissants, muffins, lunch bowls) was delicious as always and was delivered on time.

Always happy!”
Markus W.
“Everything was great, I'd love to go back!

The ordering process was super easy, the selection was delivered on time - including beautiful decorations (fresh fruit, tomatoes, herbs in pots, decorative pumpkin) - and attractively distributed on the tables. The food itself was very well received by colleagues. Each dish was labelled and there was also information about allergens.”
