Good corporate catering follows the rhythm of the event. A menu for a short presentation differs from one for a full-day conference or an evening company celebration.
Start with the schedule
Note the break times and how long guests have to eat. For a short break, choose simple service that lets people return to the programme promptly. A longer lunch allows for more dishes and a more relaxed pace.
Match the food to the venue
Small bites are practical when guests mingle and move around. With tables and enough time, consider a traditional meal or buffet. Check where the food will be set up and how guests will reach it.
Offer a clear and varied choice
Combine different flavours and collect dietary requirements before agreeing the menu. Ask for clear dish labels and accessible ingredient information. Confirm specific requirements directly with the kitchen.
Agree the practical details
- Guest numbers and break times.
- The address, venue access and setup time.
- Service style and equipment needed.
- Whether drinks, desserts or replenishment are needed.
- The on-site contact person.
With this information, it's easier to prepare a quote that fits your event and budget.
