Catering Favory

What Catering Favory does

Catering Favory (Favory d.o.o.) is a privately held Croatian catering and banqueting company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Zagreb, with a secondary office in Opatija serving coastal Croatia. The company organizes buffets, banquets, weddings, receptions, and corporate events, and operates the largest professional refrigerated vehicle fleet in Croatia, enabling temperature-controlled delivery for events of up to several thousand guests across the country. HACCP and ISO 22000 food-safety certifications underpin service to enterprise and government clients.

The business operates through four interrelated units under the Favory brand: core catering and banqueting, the Slastičarnica Šarlota pastry shop sub-brand (cakes, tortas, traditional štrukli/knedli/palačinke), the Favory Webshop for direct online ordering of prepared foods, party packages, frozen meals, and equipment rental, and Favory Putovanja, a travel services sub-brand covering business travel, fairs, cruises, ski trips, and long-distance destinations. Equipment rental (banquet tables, tents, grills, chocolate and champagne fountains) and show-cooking services are bundled with catering engagements.

Catering Favory serves corporate clients (pharmaceutical multinationals, banking, telecom, automotive, energy, retail, and government including the Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia and the EU Delegation in Croatia), private consumers for weddings and celebrations, and individual retail buyers via the webshop. Pricing for events is quote-based; party packages are tiered from approximately EUR 120 (M size) to EUR 600 (XL combo); frozen dishes and prepared foods are unit-priced between EUR 6 and EUR 18; equipment rentals start at EUR 6.30 per item. Travel packages are priced materially higher (e.g., EUR 4,690 per person for a 15-day New Zealand trip). No revenue, headcount trend, or funding events are publicly disclosed.
