MenüPartner always collects the food payments each month in arrears via direct debit. This means that we pre-finance the meals for more than one month. The one-time deposit makes a monthly pre-payment for your meals unnecessary – it thus serves as a customer-friendly simplification of the monthly payments.
The one-time deposit is transferred to a separate account that is not an asset of Menüpartner GmbH. Unlike rental deposits, this deposit is not subject to interest. When the food order has been completed, and when all debts arising from it have been settled, the deposit will be returned to you after 8 weeks (SEPA return credit period).
The one-time deposit must be transferred to an account that is separate from the assets and other business transactions of Menüpartner GmbH. Please therefore only use the transfer form that you received with the order confirmation. To do an online bank transfer, simply use the information from the transfer form.

Parents, who have placed a catering order with MenüPartner, have to send the certificate directly to us and additionally inform the head of the child day care center. In order to coordinate the meal plan please contact the head of the kitchen or the kitchen team.
With a combination of several food allergies and certain chronic illnesses our employees from the nutrition counselling will contact you and check whether a suitable special diet can be provided.
