Catering is pinpoint logistics: fresh produce, beverages and equipment must be at the event location at the set time – chilled, complete and where the kitchen crew needs them. Speed Logistics runs catering transports as a direct transport with ATP refrigerated vehicles and HACCP-compliant processes, timed to your event's window.
Caterers, event agencies and industrial kitchens receive a fixed-price quote from us within a few hours and a personal dispatch team that stays reachable 24/7 – even when the schedule shifts at short notice on the event day.
Refrigerated transport to ATP and HACCP
Fresh food travels in refrigerated vehicles to the ATP standard, which hold and document the prescribed temperature throughout. Our processes follow the HACCP principles: clean, closed load compartments, an unbroken cold chain from the production kitchen to the location and traceable handovers. Typical shipments are prepared dishes and fresh produce, beverages on pallets or in roll containers, and frozen components for on-site regeneration.
On-time delivery straight to the location
We don't deliver “sometime in the morning” but within the agreed time window – to the loading dock, the backstage entrance or straight to the location's catering kitchen. We clarify access rules, no-stopping zones and lift capacities in advance with the venue. Via live GPS tracking your project management can see where the goods are at any time; we report the arrival proactively so the crew is ready to unload.
Express and same-day for short-notice orders
Short-notice booking, higher guest numbers, a forgotten component: in catering, urgent cases are part of the business. Our dispatch team launches express and same-day direct transports at weekends or at night too – from the refrigerated van for a follow-up delivery to the truck for a complete event. You state the requirement and time, we confirm a fixed price and binding delivery time within a short period.
Roadshows and recurring productions
Many catering assignments are not single runs but series: the roadshow with ten stops in three weeks, the trade-fair catering over five running days, the regular supply of company restaurants and event locations. For such productions we plan the complete logistics chain as a project – fixed vehicles, well-drilled drivers, coordinated loading and standing times at each stop. Your kitchen logistics gets one contact instead of ten individual bookings, and the conditions are set in advance as a fixed price per stage. From a business lunch for thirty people to a major event with several thousand guests, vehicles and routes scale with your order.
For multi-day assignments we also coordinate interim supplies: fresh-produce replenishment in the morning, beverage top-up during the event, equipment swaps between two stops. Beverages travel chilled or in a curtain-sider vehicle depending on the range; pallets, roll containers and kegs we secure by form fit. This keeps your crew on the core business – cooking, plating, serving – while the logistics run in the background.
Equipment logistics and return collection
Alongside food we transport all the catering equipment: thermal boxes and thermoports, crockery, glassware, chafing dishes, furniture and kitchen technology. After the event we handle the return collection including empties and reusable containers – straight after the event ends on request, at night too. We calculate the outbound and return transport as one package with a transparent fixed price including loading, CMR insurance and live tracking. This lets you cost your events with reliable logistics figures rather than open items – from quote to invoice.
