What does healthcare catering through KhanePe cover?
Healthcare catering through KhanePe covers meals for doctors, nurses and staff on rotating duties, food for patients’ attendants, and catering for continuing medical education (CME) sessions, conferences and hospital events. Clinical diets for patients are set by the hospital’s dietitians, and vendors prepare them only where the hospital specifies and supervises them.
What hygiene standards apply to hospital catering?
Hospitals expect the strictest hygiene. KhanePe works with vendors vetted for food safety, typically FSSAI-licensed and, depending on the vendor, following ISO 22000, HACCP or GMP and GHP practices with FoSTaC-trained supervisors. Hospital-specific rules, such as covered transport and separate entry routes, are captured in the requirement call.
Can healthcare catering match hospital shifts?
Yes. Hospitals work around the clock, so share shift timings and headcount per shift, including night duty. Vendors quote meals per shift, delivered to the staff canteen or packed for wards. For recurring supply, the daily meal catering page explains how a regular contract and billing work.

Frequently asked questions
Does KhanePe provide patient diet meals?
Patient diets are clinical decisions made by the hospital’s doctors and dietitians. KhanePe focuses on staff, attendant and event catering. Where a hospital wants a vendor to prepare specified diet meals under its supervision, share the diet sheets in the requirement call, and only vendors able to follow them will quote.
Can you cater a medical conference or CME in Ahmedabad?
Yes. Medical conferences, CME sessions and pharmaceutical product meetings are business events, usually with a working lunch and tea breaks. Share the agenda, headcount and venue, and vendors quote a format that fits the session breaks. See seminar and workshop catering for how event timing is planned.
Do you supply food for hospital night shifts?
Yes, where the confirmed vendor can staff night delivery or on-site cooking. Night-shift meals are usually lighter and delivered packed. Share the timings and headcount for each shift so vendors can quote accurately; KhanePe then shortlists the three quotes that cover your full shift pattern.
Which certifications do your vendors hold?
KhanePe’s vendors are vetted for, or hold, one or more of these: an FSSAI licence, ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 22000 for food safety management, HACCP, GMP and GHP practices, and FoSTaC training for food handlers. Each shortlisted quote states which certifications that vendor holds.
Can KhanePe cater attendants’ meals at a hospital?
