Order
How do I order?
At ChefSmaak, you can create your own buffet or menu with just a few clicks. Choose your favourite dishes online and easily add extras such as serving trays, cutlery or drinks.
Up to 72 hours before the start of your event (until 12:00 noon, two business days before delivery), you can still make free changes to your order. You can adjust the number of guests, change dishes or even cancel your order, depending on the size of the catering.
Our friendly customer service team is always ready to answer your questions and provide personal assistance.
How do I change an order during the order process?
Desktop:
During the entire ordering process, you will find a summary of your food selection ("Your selection") on the right side of your screen. You can change this at any time. Simply click on the edit button next to starter/ main course/dessert and make your desired change.
Mobile:
During the entire ordering process, you can view your selection at any time. Simply click on "Show selection", make the desired change, done!
If you prefer to have a personal consultation, just call us and our friendly customer service will be happy to help you.
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 up to 2 working days* before your event starts – 100% free of charge. That way you stay flexible, no matter what happens.
*until 12:00 p.m. two working days before delivery
Please note: You have to cancel? Depending on the size of your catering, the deadline for free 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 €19.90/person or our finger food basic for €11.90/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 penultimate order step (5. "Delivery details") or inform our customer service up to 2 working days* before your event starts.
*until 12:00 p.m. two working days before delivery
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?
The basic rule is: The earlier you order, the better. This ensures that your desired date is guaranteed and our cooks can also plan your booking. Don't worry, you still remain flexible: Up to 2 working days* before your event begins, you can still change the details of your order (such as the choice of food or the number of people) and book extra crockery and cutlery.
*until 12:00 p.m. two working days before delivery
Please note: You have to cancel? Depending on the size of your catering, the deadline for free cancellations may vary; for more detailed information, please refer to our terms and conditions.
What cancellation options do I have? Are there any cancellation fees?
With ChefSmaak, you always stay flexible. If you ever need to cancel your order, you can of course do so. Please contact our customer service team as soon as possible. For a free cancellation, please take our cancellation deadlines into account, which depend on the size of your catering.
Please note: Depending on the size of your catering, the deadline for a free cancellation may vary. You can find more detailed information about this in our general terms and conditions.
