Catering & Logistics Services

Here is how this works in practice. We set up catering logistics for Dutch shoots of each scale — managing the supply chain, mobile kitchens, dining setups and craft-service stations that keep a crew working. Our team handles delivery scheduling, refrigerated transport, water and hot-drink supply, dietary tracking and waste running, all timed to the shooting schedule. We work within the CAO collective-labour-agreement framework. This sets meal-break needs for Dutch crews, so catering is planned around the legally needed stops.

Here is how the work shapes up. The Netherlands' dense road network and compact geography. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht all close together — make resupply between unit base and location straightforward. Because Dutch suppliers and crew are near-universally English-speaking, a global shoots manager can brief catering logistics directly and adjust orders on short notice.

Here is the short of it. Dutch food culture gives catering logistics plenty to work with. Crew menus can range from classic Dutch staples — bitterballen, raw herring, Gouda and Edam cheese, poffertjes and patat with mayonnaise — to the colonial-era Indonesian influence and the full rijsttafel, alongside today's global and dietary-specific options. The country's strong agriculture and major ports mean fresh produce, fish and supplies are reliably ready year-round.

Here is how it adds up. For shoots claiming the Netherlands Film Fund's 35% cash rebates, catering spend through Dutch suppliers counts toward qualifying local spend, and our team keeps that logged. We scale catering logistics to your crew size and shoot pattern, from a single-day commercial to a long-running series, so the unit is fed efficiently and on schedule.
