Relieving Hosting Stress with a Corporate Catering
Relieving Hosting Stress with a Corporate Catering
Planning and hosting an event is stressful enough, let alone ensuring that the whole thing is a success. But what if you could relieve this stress by hiring a corporate caterer to take care of everything?
The following article explains the services a corporate caterer can offer for your next event and how it would be beneficial for relieving stress and worry when hosting.
What Services Do Corporate Event Caterers Provide?
Contrary to belief, corporate caterers often offer much more than food and drink alone. In order for a corporate event to run smoothly, caterers must provide a range of services.
Caterers are often responsible for:
- Event set-up and clean-up
- Planning the menu
- Serving the guests
- Equipment lending for corporate catering
How to Choose the Right Corporate Event Caterer
Any professional corporate cater will have the understanding that their duty is to relieve the stress of the host and assist in any way they can to achieve a successful event.
Range of Food and Beverages
Corporate caterers should aim to offer a substantial range of food and beverages for guests to choose from throughout the duration of the event. As many of the guests will remember the quality of the catering after the event, it’s crucial to hire a corporate caterer that has a solid understanding of quality catering options.
Catering Budget
Corporate caterers should also bear in mind the budget you have set for the event and deliver accordingly. Under or over-ordering could lead to consequences for both the host and the caterers, causing unnecessary bother after the event.
Event Flexibility
Corporate caterers should understand the importance of being flexible when providing services for an event. Each event will serve a different purpose, depending on the host’s aspirations so approaching each event with a flexible mindset is key.
Corporate Event Venue Selection
When hosting an event, selecting the perfect venue to host can sometimes take weeks or even months. The amount of research and consideration that is needed to pick the perfect venue is often unimaginable.
Once you have found the perfect venue for your corporate event, your corporate catering company should make initial contact with the venue to confirm aspects such as availability and schedules, pricing for their services and any limitations that may cause issues when hosting.
Corporate Event Menu Planning
Having your professional corporate catering company plan the event menu on your behalf takes the guesswork out of choosing appropriate options for your guests and ensures all dietary requirements are catered for.
It’s important to inform your catering company of which type of menu you would like at your event. For example, if you would like a buffet-style event, the caterers can ensure that the menu they provide for your guests is appropriate for the seating arrangements/tables and so forth.
The same goes for event styles such as sit-down, plated meals and appetisers. Informing your catering company of your preferred event type will allow for plenty of time to plan the perfect menu to suit and optimises your budget too!
Let Your Corporate Caterer Handle The Finer Details
Corporate caterers are highly experienced in handling all of the small, minor details behind the scenes to ensure your event runs smoothly. This is to release the host from these duties that hinder their participation in the event.
Guests will be looking to mingle with the hosts of the party and will, therefore, not be able to do so if the host is caught up in duties that could be taken care of by the corporate catering team.
Professional catering companies such as Green Bike Food Co. will be more than happy to assist in the preparation of other contributing factors such as seating arrangements, bartending duties, decorations, entertainment and much more. They also know how to bring an event together without any issues whatsoever.
Whether the event is hosting 50 or 500 people, let your corporate caterer take care of the finer details, allowing you to enjoy your event.
