Our sole responsibility is to help you with catering services on your upcoming event including the planning and execution of the event, or to simply provide the food and drinks. As a catering company, we have varying levels of involvement in an event depending on the type of catering service and what the client desires.
OUR ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Here are five key roles and responsibilities
1. Meeting with Clients and Suggesting Menus
The catering process usually starts with a consultation with the client. The caterer will discuss the event specifics: the guest count, the type of event, the budget, and any dietary restrictions or preferences that need to be considered. Based on this information, we will create custom menu choices for the client. Due to diversity issues and different religious backgrounds, it is our mandate to come up with dishes that will be both tasty and visually appealing.
2. Establishing Cost Per Person
To help determine the catering budget, we always provide a cost per portion for each menu item. This includes food costs, labor, taxes, and service fees. Establishing the cost of each item upfront allows the event planners to accurately plan for the event and avoid surprises when the final bill comes.
3. Preparing, Cooking, and Serving the Food
We are responsible for preparing all the food for the event, whether it is a simple buffet or a more complicated sit-down meal. Once the menu selections have been finalized, we take it upon ourselves to prepare and cook the food as agreed to with the customer.
Out of respect, we may do this in a commercial kitchen or on-site at the event venue. On the day of the event, we oversee the serving of the food and make sure everything runs smoothly, including the delivery of food items prioritizing that all the guests are properly served.
4. Providing All Necessary Supplies and Equipment
We don’t only provide delicious food but we also provide all the necessary supplies and kitchen equipment. This includes serving dishes, utensils, linens, and anything else that may be needed for service.
5. Providing Catering Assistants
If desired, we also provide catering assistants, including bartenders and servers, for the event. This can be helpful for larger events where you need someone to keep an eye on the drinks and ensure that all the guests are properly served. Additionally, we provide catering staff to help with the cooking and serving of the food.
