It's a new year and you are looking forward to being organized, focused and ahead of the rush. I figure there is no better time than now to discuss logistics as we delve back into the road to securing the right caterer for you.
Logistics are pivotal in ensuring the success of your event, special occasion, or festivities. When considering hiring someone to provide you with services, ensuring they are up for the task is paramount. There are various options to consider when selecting a food service provider/caterer.
"Pick-up" Option: This entails picking up the food directly from your vendor. Typically, it comes in disposable containers, and you receive little more than the food you ordered.
"Drop-off" Catering: Similar to pick-up, the vendor prepares your food in disposable containers, such as aluminum steam pans. You may have the option to receive wire steam pan holders, sterno fuel, and serving utensils. Some vendors go the extra mile, finishing dishes with garnish for presentation. Others offer drop-off options with rentals of stainless steel chafing warmers and additional display choices to elevate your service. These are details we'd discuss during your consultation.
Full-Service Catering: Depending on your event's size and occasion, this includes waitstaff, bartenders (as needed), table set-up and breakdown, dish service (washing and putting away), and sometimes decor.
Regardless of your chosen service level, rest assured that a significant amount of work happens in advance and behind the scenes for your event. Often, there are more staff members involved than those visible on the day of the event.
