An Introduction…

Rule 1: Find the Right Venue

Is your business luncheon in the office itself? If so, an experienced corporate catering company will know how to utilize the space and maximize its potential. If your office space doesn’t have a kitchen, for instance, mobile kitchens offer creative, highly functional solutions. We have tons of catering ideas, like “create your own omelet” stations with sizzling bacon, pancakes, and maple syrup, eggs Benedict, and other delicious, ready-to-go items.

Sure, food and beverage are important, delicious, and did I mention important? You might need a new venue for your large conference. The venue should have stages, microphones, lighting, sound systems, and AV equipment for speeches or presentations. Our venue scouts will find you that perfect facility, with planning, setup, and take down executed to perfection.

Your venue should be flexible, whether you’re hosting a fancy dinner for 500 guests or a casual office lunch. Choosing a venue that allows you to execute your event vision without limitations is important.

You should not let the location you choose constrain the size and style of your event. Make sure your venue can accommodate your desired setup and activities. Professional event design and piping hot food on site can make large convention centers more intimate.

What may first appear to be an empty industrial space can quickly be turned into an enlivened environment full of social, engaging energy. Consider these alternative conference venues for your next meeting.

Rule 2: Delegate

Delegate don’t contemplate! The first thing to keep in mind is: you’re not alone! Batman had Robin. Bonnie had Clyde. And Butch Cassidy had The Sundance Kid.

It’s all about teamwork. Even if you think you’re a superhero, you’re still going to need some help.

The whole Army of One thing doesn’t work here. There are many things to plan for a party, like the menu, seating, utensils, table cloths, plates, and glasses. And don’t forget about drinks! Furthermore, why would you even want to do all this by yourself when there’s help out there?

An experienced corporate catering company will know what you’re up against because they’ve seen it all before. This is one day at the office for you, but for them, it’s the norm. A guide to client meeting catering would not be complete without showing you what we can do.

Our office caterers are skilled at setting up mobile kitchens in different places. They can cook and serve in small spaces, boardrooms, ballrooms, and large convention centers. Whether we’re talking fifty guests or five hundred, they have a game plan for every type of scenario.

An experienced corporate catering company will understand how to cater for medium and large groups. Where you might see an issue, they will see a solution.

In business meetings, you might see papers, cell phones, computers, and tablets on the table. And, when you throw in a full on-site catering service into this atmosphere it can get messy.

You don’t want coffee spilled over tables and plates of food getting in the way. This isn’t a college dorm room! Case in point: you shouldn’t be trying to do this alone.

A business meeting catering company will know in advance the space they’re working in. They will have separate areas for cooking, serving and eating. They will also clean up plates, glasses, napkins and utensils promptly so you can get back to your meeting in a timely fashion. When your meeting is over, they will clean up and pack away tables and chairs, leaving as if they were never there.

Reach out for help and you’ll be amazed how smoothly things go. Every Batman needs his Robin.

Rule 3: Choose the Right Menu

This is a crucial aspect to successfully planning your corporate event experience. Do any of your guests have special dietary requirements?

If so, you’ll want to fully explore options for their dietary restrictions with our event managers. Our chef can make many tasty vegetarian catering orders for your event, made fresh and served on-site. We’ll bring you the best catering for business meetings you can imagine, no matter the menu options you choose.

Secondly, how can we turn up the heat on the monotonous and offer interesting choices for everyone attending? We have seen the same things over and over again. It would be nice to have some new and different options this time.

You want your lunch menu to stand out from the rest. A great menu will impress the people attending so they bond over the excellent food you organized.

You want your guests to comment on the food, not just accept it and eat it because it’s there. How do you do this? Follow Rule 1: hire a professional catering company with experience in serving corporate and business lunches.

The best way to achieve all of your goals is to offer choices. Some people will choose lighter food while others will want something more substantial.

Lunch buffets are a fantastic catering option. They can be an excellent way to go for larger groups. At buffets, guests can serve themselves and watch as their food is prepared.

The buffet menu has roasted pork, carving stations with roast beef, sirloin, and prime rib, herb-crusted turkey, and marinated skirt steak rolls. Enjoy a delicious meal of spice-rubbed salmon, fresh mahi mahi, steamed vegetables, and tasty pasta dishes. These menu items will make your day at the office special.

Finger foods are another good food to have catered for business meetings. H’ors-deourves and appetizers served on shining coiffers make for an amazing catering menu. And, don’t forget the delectable bite-sized desserts! Finger foods are always a treat for catering sales meetings.

Other times, your guests might prefer more energy boosting foods for your work lunch, especially depending on the time of day. Gourmet salads are always popular, as are fresh fish and chicken dishes.
