Counter-wise service
Live food counters in Pune — book one, or build a whole spread
Welcome Caterers runs counter-wise catering across Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad IT corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar. You can book a single counter — a Chinese wok station, a dessert counter or a mocktail bar — or combine several into a full spread. Every counter is cooked and served at your venue by our own chefs.

Counter service questions
Can we book just one food counter instead of a full menu?
Yes. Counter-wise service is exactly that — book a single Chinese counter, chaat counter, dessert counter or mocktail bar for your event, or combine several. Call +91 96731 98867 with your guest count and we will price it per counter.
How many guests does one live counter serve?
75-100 guests per hour per counter is the planning figure, and each counter page carries its own: a paan wala clears about 150 guests an hour, a wok about 90, a wood-fired oven about 60 pizzas. For 250 guests we usually recommend three to four counters so no queue forms.
What does each counter need at the venue?
Most counters need about 8 x 6 feet of floor space, three feet clear behind the chef, and one 15A power point or an approved gas connection. Several differ — the espresso machine on the chai counter wants a dedicated point, the waffle counter needs two, and charcoal and wood-fired counters need outdoor or covered-open placement. Each counter page states its own.
Are vegetarian and Jain versions available at every counter?
Yes. Every counter runs a pure vegetarian version, and most run Jain and no-onion-no-garlic versions cooked on separate equipment with separate utensils.
Which counters work best for a dry event?
The mocktail bar, fresh juice and smoothie bar, and masala chai and coffee counter. Together they cover a full evening without alcohol.
