How to cater...
No shows, disposables and catering buffets are out of fashion. Tomorrow’s party caterer is a true event manager who takes dietary requests into account. Â
Â
1. Circular entrepreneurship
We believe that circularity is the future of our food system, which includes that of caterers. In a circular model, every aspect of the business process is analysed. We are witnessing how caterers are setting great strides towards climate-neutral catering.
Â
2. Cater to specific needs
Gluten-free, vegetarian or even 100% vegan. Guests are expressing an increasing number of dietary requirements. Entrepreneurship at a catering location plays a greater role than it used to. Applying fresh ingredients and being flexible on the spot, allows you to address guests’ requirements on the fly.
Â
3. Get real
The days of serving experimental food at parties and events have passed. Tomorrow’s guests will value ingredients that are as high-quality and fresh as possible, dishes that are manageable and convenient to eat and above all: great flavors.
Â
4. Choose!
Principals are looking for quality, specialization in a certain cuisine or a match in terms of corporate philosophy. Be a caterer who dares to express what you stand for: are you a concept caterer, a regional player, do you offer a 100% vegan menu?
Â
5. Organise a full experience
Today’s and tomorrow’s caterer is a true event manager who provides a complete experience and plays a central part in the organization of an event. He takes care of the atmosphere, ambience, decoration and staff in addition to food.
