Ideas of catering for corporate events

If you have ever been in charge of organizing a corporate event for your company, you will know that one of the most important points to take care of is catering. It is not enough to choose one that in the taste test or on paper you find appealing, there is much more behind what you should set. That’s why today, we are going to review everything you need to know about catering for corporate events, so that you can succeed in the organization and be a success.

Advices to choose a catering for corporate events

• Adequate amounts for the number of attendees
  There is nothing worse than your guests staying hungry, but you do not have to go too far. Therefore, we recommend you to have a prior meeting with the catering and choose one with experience in this type of event, which does not work the same as a wedding or private event. You have to measure the times, what type of food it is (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner …), if there is any activity meanwhile and, of course, the number of attendees.

• Variety
  Sometimes, in the catering tests, those responsible for making the decision are guided only by their culinary tastes. This is normal, we are human! But we must not lose sight that it is not for us, but for a large number of attendees. The solution? Include variety in the dishes: meat, fish, vegetables, etc.
• Vegetarian, vegan and healthy options
  Our society is increasingly concerned with the quality and origin of food, and many people choose to be vegetarian, vegan or simply take better care of themselves. Therefore, it is essential that there are options of this type. Nobody should stay without being able to eat.
• Seasonal dishes
  The dishes with seasonal ingredients will always be tastier and will appeal more. Just as you do not put a very cool salmorejo when it is a horrible cold in the street, nor  burning food in summer.

• Food suitable for the type of event
  Everything depends on the style of event we want to organize. If it is a more informal event, standing, the food can be either in buffet format or waiters go by with the trays. Standing, nobody is able to cut with knife and fork, so we recommend easy-to-eat and varied food.

Ideas of catering for corporate events :

• Food trucks
  In street events, weddings and private events, food trucks are becoming more fashionable. Why not add it to a corporate event? If your company is a multinational and people from many countries will attend, what do you think about including food trucks with food from various parts of the world?
• Food corners
  And a concept similar to food trucks, are the food corners. Those areas with food that attendees can approach and serve without the need of a waiter. You can put a corner of rice, cheese, fruit,… You will succeed for sure.
• Beverage corner or bar
  From talking so much about food, we almost forgot about the drinks. It is just as important to have a good variety of drinks, so that attendees can choose. A great idea is to create a corner or several (depending on the dimensions of the event) with glasses, ice and various drinks.

  

And finally, you can not forget that much of the success of the event will be in the space chosen to celebrate it.
