Current information: Hygiene guidelines

Can I still pay my order at MYMY catering with cash?

Unfortunately, we no longer offer cash payments for new orders. If you have selected "cash payment" for your existing order, our customer service team will contact you before your event and arrange an alternative payment method for you (you can choose from the following options: advance payment, credit card or PayPal).

Does MYMY catering deliver contactless?

Yes, we deliver your catering contactless. Our partner caterers carry out the delivery as well as the buffet setup while maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 m and wearing face masks and gloves. If possible, we make sure that there is a minimum distance of 1.5 m between each station or between each chafing dish. After your buffet is set up, our partner caterers will take pictures of the buffet (for internal quality assurance) and then say goodbye.

What can I do as an organiser or guest of an event to best comply with the current hygiene guidelines?

Hygiene regulations are currently changing frequently and vary from state to state. Please check the hygiene regulations of your state before your event to ensure that your event meets the current requirements.

We recommend every host and participant of an event to comply with the following measures:

1. Wash and/or disinfection your hands regularly

All participants of the event should wash and/or disinfect their hands regularly. As host, please provide disinfectant and disposable paper towels for your guests to use.

2. Wear face masks at the buffet

Please wear a face mask when walking to/from the buffet and when standing in line.

3. Keep a safe distance at the buffet

As the organizer of the event, please inform your guests that your buffet will only be accessed by a single person or, if there are several people, that a minimum distance of at least 1.5 m should be maintained to the next person.

4. Do not share food and drinks

Our food just tastes so good that you would love to share it with friends and seat neighbours. Due to the current situation, however, please avoid to share food and drink from individual plates and glasses with other guests.

5. Please stay away from the event if symptoms of illness occur

As the organiser, please ask your guests to stay away from your event if they or members of their household show relevant symptoms of illness.

6. Please refrain from hugs and handshaking

7. Please maintain the sneezing and coughing etiquette

If you have to cough or sneeze, turn away from other people and ideally cough/sneeze in a disposable tissue or alternatively into the crook of your arm.

Please find more information on infection protection on the German website of the Federal Centre for Health Education.

Can I make changes to my order even after I have made a booking?

Sure! Your satisfaction is our number one priority. That's why you can change your order flexibly and free of charge any time within the free cancellation phase.

All changes must be send to us in writing and prior to the applicable cancellation deadline. Furthermore, all changes always need to be double-checked with the respective kitchen. Especially in the case of changes to the dishes, we cannot always guarantee this short-term flexibility. Possible additional costs may apply.

Please note: You have to cancel? Depending on the size of your catering, the deadline for cancellations free of charge may vary; for more detailed information, please refer to our terms and conditions.

How can I try the food in advance?

In order to offer you the best possible price, we unfortunately cannot offer a free tasting. We assure you, we select our local caterers according to our high quality standards, so you can be sure of good quality.

You still want to convince yourself? We recommend to pre-order a small version of our catering in advance and try it out, for example the buffet basic for only €23.90/person or our finger food basic for €13.90/person.

Where do I make special requests (e.g. food allergies)?

We will gladly take your special wishes into account. You can either specify them in the notes in the last order step (5. "Delivery details") or inform our customer service via email.

In order to be able to guarantee good quality at all times, we double-check all changes, especially to dishes, with the respective kitchen and they are only effective after the kitchen's confirmation. Possible additional costs may apply for changes on short notice.


Can I also order dishes, cutlery and service staff for my event?

With our Plates & Cutlery Set you can easily add crockery and cutlery to your order. We also provide service personnel with a minimum of four (4) hours. More hours and more people can be specified during the online ordering process according to your needs.

How far in advance should I book?

We can almost always guarantee capacities but generally the earlier the better. Ordering rather sooner than later ensures that your desired date and time is available and that our cooks can also plan your delivery properly.


What cancellation options do I have? Are there any cancellation fees?

With MYMY catering you remain flexible: Should you ever need to cancel your order, you can of course do so. Please contact our customer service as soon as possible. For a free cancellation, please note our cancellation deadlines, which depend on the size of your catering.

How large is the delivery area of MYMY catering?

MYMY catering is represented at around 220 locations in almost every corner of Germany.

How is the food delivered?

Food should not not only tickle the taste buds, it should appeal to the eyes as well. That is why we attach great importance to ensuring that your catering is delivered to you in an aesthetically pleasing way. Our finger food is delivered on fine porcelain and melamine plates. We deliver our hot food in chafing dishes under which there is fuel paste, so that the food stays hot for a longer period of time. The appropriate serving cutlery for taking out the food is included with every delivery.

My order was not delivered/ not delivered on time/ I received the wrong dishes.

We always do our best to deliver your catering on time. Nevertheless, it can happen that our drivers unexpectedly get into a traffic jam or similar. Please allow for half an hour of goodwill.

In urgent cases please contact our customer service, who will find an individual solution with you.

When will the supplied equipment be picked up again?

That's entirely up to you. We will be happy to pick up the heating containers as well as the crockery and cutlery at an appointment of your choice. Our driver will contact you directly upon delivery and arrange a collection date with you. If you are bound to a certain time, you can also leave us a message in the field "special wishes" when you order, e.g. if everything has to be picked up on the same day.

How do I give feedback after my order?

Thank you for taking the time to evaluate our service. We are very happy about your feedback, because it helps us to optimise our internal processes and to improve our services further. After completing your order, you will receive an e-mail from us in which we will check your satisfaction with MYMY. You can also review us on Google.


Dishes & Quality

How much catering is delivered per guest?

We know that the amount of catering you need depends on the type of event. For a business meeting you will probably need less catering than for a company anniversary or family celebration. That’s why you can choose from our predefined packages (Basic, Classic or Premium) or order "À la Carte".

Do you need help with the selection of your buffet? We are happy to help.

How many finger food items do I receive per package?

With our finger food menus each guest receives at least one piece of each variation.

How many finger food items should be planned per guest?

Well, this depends on whether you plan your finger food buffet as a starter or main course, as a snack or for dessert. If you want to offer your guests finger food as starters or snacks, we recommend a quantity of 4-5 pieces per guest. If you would like a finger food buffet for your main course, we recommend 5-7 portions per person. For dessert plan 2-3 pieces of the delicious appetisers for each guest.

Do you want your delicious finger food buffet to cover starters, main course and dessert? Then plan 11-15 variations for each guest.

Will my catering look exactly like the pictures?

Our pictures are serving suggestions and the catering you get delivered may differ here and there in little bits. We work closely with our catering partners, so that a consistent quality is always ensured. Yet sometimes a chef puts an extra basil leaf on a dish, for the looks. So please do not take this against him/her or us. ;)

What does catering "à la carte" mean? What is the difference to the other catering packages?

With our "À la Carte" packages, you are free to choose your dishes from the entire range of our menu and you are also able to determine the quantity of all dishes. With our buffet, finger food and roasted pig packages, the quantity is already predetermined. Depending on the package, however, you can choose from a bigger variety of dishes.

How long does the delivered food stay fresh?

Your catering is freshly prepared for your order and should ideally be consumed on the day of delivery.

Who checks the quality of the food?

At MYMY catering your satisfaction has priority. We want to offer you good quality at a fair price. That's why we only work with chefs who meet our quality standards – we thoroughly check them before every cooperation.

How do I get a tasting in advance?

For a tasting in advance, we would like to ask you to order a small selection upfront. You can choose for example from our buffet basic for €23.90/person or our finger food basic for only €13.90/person.
To be able to always offer you the fairest and best possible price, this tasting can unfortunately not be free of charge.
