Frequently Asked Questions
What dietary customs should we plan for when catering in Germany?
Germany has a strong organic and health-conscious food culture, with high demand for vegetarian and vegan options. Berlin in particular has one of Europe's largest vegan dining scenes. Halal provisions should be available for diverse crews. German crews expect punctual, well-organized meal service with warm midday meals as standard.
What food safety regulations apply to on-set catering in Germany?
Film catering in Germany must comply with EU food hygiene regulations and the German Food Safety and Consumer Protection Act (LFGB). Caterers need proper trade registrations, and temporary food service on set must meet standards enforced by local health authorities (Gesundheitsamt). HACCP documentation is required.

Major studios like Babelsberg, Bavaria, and MMC have established catering infrastructure and preferred supplier relationships. Our network includes caterers experienced in working within these studio environments, coordinating with studio management on loading, setup, and service timing for large international productions.
How do you match catering services to my production?
We assess your crew size, shooting schedule, location requirements, and any dietary considerations, then connect you with catering professionals experienced in productions of similar scale. We ensure the logistics are planned around your specific shoot days and locations.
Can catering logistics handle special dietary requirements?
Yes, professional film catering services routinely accommodate vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, gluten-free, and allergy-specific dietary needs. The coordinator collects dietary information from the production office in advance and plans menus that provide proper options for every crew and cast member.
