Corporate events are often planned weeks in advance, and the planning process includes crucial elements such as guest speakers, scheduling, presentation equipment and most popular amongst attendees, catering. By hosting an event with great food, you stand to leave a lasting impression amongst your guests, boding well for future events.
To make the planning process a little easier, here are some tips from the specialised catering team at Servest.
1. Add flavour and variety
For attendees to be blown away by the catering at your event, you need to appease a number of discerning palates. To do so, introduce a menu with a wide range of tastes and flavours. Bear in mind, you may have vegetarians, vegans and people of varying faiths at your event, and your menu needs to cater to diverse tastes and cultures.
2. Service matters
You want your event to run smoothly. The last thing you need is to be dashing about, looking for condiments, cutlery or that one gluten-free meal that was requested weeks ago. Instead, turn to a trusted catering solutions provider to make sure meals arrive on time and are served professionally.
3. Choose the right venue
Whether you’re hosting your event at your premises, or hiring a specialised venue, décor and hygiene are crucial to the success of your event. The décor should be exquisite, and a dedicated team should be on hand to ensure the venue is clean before and after the event.
4. Cheers to perfect drink pairings
Meals are often complemented with the perfect beverage. By incorporating a wide variety of drinks, hot and cold, guests will leave your event feeling well cared for.
When preparing for your next event, remember that Servest’s specialised catering team will have their culinary experts prepare an authentic South African meal, leaving you to focus on your guests, and your event.
