Freshly baked German soft pretzels (Brezels) set out at an open home

Open Home Catering
That Buyers Remember

Everyone knows the trick about fresh baking at an open home. Almost nobody actually does it — they put out a supermarket cookie platter instead. We deliver warm, hand-rolled German Brezels to the property before the doors open, from $5 each with a minimum of 10.

Why it works at a viewing

A buyer walks through six houses on a Saturday. Five of them smell like carpet shampoo.

The house smells lived-in

Warm bread is the one scent everybody reads as home. It arrives fresh from the oven, so the smell is real rather than a plug-in trying to imitate it.

People stay and talk

A Brezel gives a buyer a reason to stand in the kitchen for a minute instead of walking a loop and leaving. That minute is when they start picturing themselves living there.

They remember which house

After six viewings the houses blur together. "The one with the German pretzels" is a hook your listing gets and the other five do not.

Nothing for you to do

Delivered boxed and ready to put out. No warming, no plating, no crumbs to sweep between groups — and vendors appreciate that as much as buyers do.

How to book one

1. Send the address and time

Property address, the day, and when the doors open. Tell us how many — 10 for a quiet midweek viewing, 20 or more for a busy Saturday campaign.

2. We bake that morning

Hand-rolled, real lye, baked in Rangiora on the day. Never frozen and never made the night before — the scent only works if it is genuinely fresh.

3. Delivered before you open

To the property, timed so the house already smells right when the first group arrives. Put them out and go back to selling the house.

Questions from agents

Minimums, notice, delivery and booking a run of viewings.

What is the minimum order for an open home?

10 Brezels, delivered to the property. At $5 each that is $50 — less than most agents spend on a standard platter, and considerably more memorable.

How much notice do you need?

48 hours is enough. Listings move fast, so if you have a Saturday open home and it is Thursday, get in touch — we can usually make it work.

Do you deliver to the property itself?

Yes. We deliver to the address on the day, timed to arrive before the doors open so the house smells of fresh baking when the first group walks in.

Which areas do you cover?

Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pegasus, Oxford, Amberley and the wider Waimakariri, and into Christchurch by arrangement.

Can we book a run of open homes?

Yes, and most agents do once they have tried it. Tell us the campaign dates and we will set up a standing order for each open home rather than quoting each one.

Do they need warming or plating?

No. They arrive fresh, boxed and ready to put out on a bench or board. No plates, no cutlery, nothing to clean up before the next viewing.

Open home this weekend?

Send us the address and the time. We will bake that morning and have them at the property before your first group walks in.
