How To Decide On The Right Food For Your Corporate Event - Spoilt For Choice
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerThere are many different types of corporate event –
including working lunches, induction programmes, teambuilding exercises and
office parties. However, in any case, if you are planning a corporate event,
the matter of its catering should not be treated as an afterthought.
That’s because, when chosen carefully, food served
at this kind of event can make its attendees feel appreciated and give them an
incentive to stay for longer. With our own experience of serving food for
corporate events, we can provide the following tips…
Remind yourself of the event’s overriding
purpose
The event might simply be an occasion for your
employees to unwind after a hectic year. However, you might be more interested
in showing people – such as potential clients – how your company has developed
while preserving its core values.
Whatever the event’s objective, the food should be
chosen to suit. So, in the second of the two instances described above, you
could infuse a selection of classic dishes with modern flourishes.
Make the food visually appealing
This might initially seem like a strange priority
to have when seeking food for a corporate event. However, you have to remember
that when people go to such an event, they could be eager to post photos of it
to social media.
Therefore, if you inadvertently serve unsightly
food, you don’t want people sharing images of it with thousands of followers. A
well-presented platter, on the other hand, can be instantly deemed
‘Instagrammable’ – and stoke positive publicity about your brand.
Find creative ways to serve the food
You don’t strictly have to serve it simply by
placing plates in an orderly fashion across a number of tables. You could
consider a fair few quirkier options, like setting up some self-serve food
stations or enabling guests to quickly and easily make their own meals from
food supplies left on display.
Account for a range of dietary requirements
Once you have a list of the people who have agreed
to turn up at the event, you should ask them as quickly as possible for details
of any dietary requirements they happen to have.
Of course, some of the delegates could be
vegetarians or vegans, while others could be diabetic or lactose intolerant. If
the list of these requirements reported back to you starts to look dauntingly
long, it would be wise for you to seek assistance from a corporate catering
firm.
If the event will be taking place in London, you
could approach our team here at Spoilt
for Choice. When preparing food for corporate events, we can heed various
special diets – including dairy-free, gluten-free and halal diets – as long as
these have been specified at the ordering stage.
