Common Corporate Catering Mistakes
For starters, you will want to think of where you will be having this corporate event. Wherever you end up holding the event, you will want to provide all of your guests with the right amount of tables and seats. You also want to make sure that your guests aren’t all packed into a room like sardine cans. If your office is too small for this event, then consider renting out a space instead.
At any catering event, it is always thoughtful to think of anyone that is providing a service for the event. Provide your vendors with something to eat and drink and work this out with you caterer. Make sure that someone lets the vendors know that they can have some food. If the event is very formal, you do not necessarily need to provide the vendors with the fancy meal that the guests are having. Even a sandwich and a soda is acceptable.
When planning with your Vancouver catering service, you will want to plan an appropriate menu for your employees. While you should not give everyone too many choices, you should try to accommodate peoples’ dietary needs. If anyone has serious allergies, then they could easily end up in an ambulance due to the food at your corporate event.
To avoid this, ask the attendees ahead of time if they have any serious food restrictions. For those who are vegetarian or have other dietary restrictions that are not as serious, they will still be grateful if you include food that they can eat in the menu. Never be afraid to communicate what you need with your caterer as most caterers are willing to try and work with you to meet your needs, you can have a look at our menu selection on our website.
While alcohol is popular to serve at most events, it is usually not that advisable for a corporate event. Unless you are having the annual office Christmas party or are saying goodbye to someone who is retiring, alcohol is almost never a great idea in a corporate setting. If you are trying to get any work done, you can say goodbye to any chances of productivity when you introduce alcohol into the equation. And if someone drinks too much, you risk the chance of having something inappropriate happen.
You will also want to make sure that you give your guests good food so make sure you go with the best Vancouver caterers. If you give your employees food that they don’t even want to finish, then it could lower morale within the company. When a company provides their workers with great event and delicious food, it makes the employees more excited to work for their company.
