Corporate events are an essential part of any business. Whether it's a product launch, a conference, or a team-building event, these gatherings provide an opportunity for companies to showcase their brand and connect with clients and employees. One of the most critical aspects of any corporate event is catering. Food and beverages can make or break an event, so it's crucial to get it right.
Plan ahead
Planning is key when it comes to corporate event catering. Start by determining your budget and the number of guests you expect. This information will help you decide on the type of food and beverages you can offer. Consider any dietary restrictions or preferences your guests may have, such as vegetarian or gluten-free options.
Choose the right caterer and menu
Choosing the right caterer is essential for a successful corporate event. Look for a caterer with experience in corporate events and excellent reviews from past clients. At Slate Restaurant Bar, we have an eclectic and delicious selection of food and drink, and our corporate catering packages can be customised to meet your specific needs.
Presentation and service style
Presentation is everything when it comes to food. The way food is presented can make a significant impact on how it's perceived by guests. Choose serving dishes that complement the theme of your event and consider adding decorative touches like fresh flowers or herbs.
The service style you choose will depend on the type of event you're hosting. For formal events like galas or award ceremonies, plated meals may be more appropriate. For less formal events like happy hours or networking events, buffet-style service may be more suitable.
Beverage service
Beverage service is just as important as food service at any corporate event. Consider offering a variety of non-alcoholic drinks like water, soda, and juice in addition to alcoholic options like beer and wine.
