Top Catering Tips for Your Next Corporate Event
Corporate events are organised for various purposes. Some are planned to impress clients, while other meets are organised to treat employees for the successful completion of a big project or to celebrate a milestone that the company has reached. Whatever the reasons for a corporate meet, they are mostly not low-key events. The catering service has to be top-notch if you don't want the event to turn into a nightmare. If you want to impress the guests, then the food and how it is served will make a big difference. Here are a few catering tips to organise a well-planned corporate event.
Take the guest count
First, you must know how many people would be attending the event. The number of guests and budget are interrelated. In order to fix the budget you need to know the headcount. Only then you can fix the venue and even select the menu. The headcount shouldn't be final, but you need to know approximately how many people you are catering to.
Alcohol or no alcohol
Not all corporate events will have an open bar. If it is a business meet or a training seminar, there won't be a bar. However, if the meet is organised to woo new clients with presentations, then it is better to have an open bar. However, it depends on the budget as well.
Set an itinerary
Any business meet will have multiple speakers and paper presentations, and the food service revolves around these activities. So the timing is important. Set the itinerary so that the caterer will get enough time to prepare, and serve the meal in an efficient manner. The timings might slightly change, and in that case always keep the caterers in the loop.
Variety is the spice of the meet
Provide as many dietary options as possible if you want to keep all the clients happy. Today, most people are health conscious, so provide a few healthy food choices as well.
Impress your guests
Place an ice sculpture, which can pour different types of drinks, to add a unique touch to the event. You should also offer different types of desserts for the guests, if you want them to remember the event.
Give a personal touch
To give a personal touch to a sit down dinner, place nametags at each table. This will make the guests feel that the event is all about them and that they are being cared for. It can also be conversation starters.
Use eye-catching linen
A good quality linen for the tables can have a big visual impact. Choose linen that has elegant texture and design. If your event has a particular theme, the linen chosen must be connected to the theme.
