How Do You Choose the Right Catering Format for an Event?
The right catering format depends on the type of event, the number of guests, and how you want people to eat and interact. A boardroom meeting may call for individually portioned meals or a simple drop-off order, while a company celebration, wedding, or graduation party may be better suited to a buffet or another setup designed for a larger group.
Consider how formal the occasion is and whether guests will be seated, moving around, or participating in activities. Matching the service format to the event helps create a more practical dining experience for everyone attending.
How Can Platters Catering & Events Support Your Next Event?
Workplace catering is a key part of what Platters Catering & Events offers, with options for everything from boardroom lunches to larger company functions. However, our catering services also extend beyond the workplace to weddings, graduations, Sweet 16 parties, bridal and baby showers, holiday gatherings, and other special occasions.
We offer:
- Boardroom lunch catering: Meals arranged for meetings where an efficient setup helps keep the agenda on track.
- Office lunch catering: Workplace meals suited to staff lunches and other in-office gatherings.
- Drop-off catering: Prepared food delivered for occasions that don’t require full on-site service.
- Corporate event catering: Food service for company BBQs, work picnics, mixers, launches, and other business events.
- Special occasion catering: Catering for celebrations outside the workplace, including weddings, showers, graduations, and holiday gatherings.
How Much Food Should You Order for an Event?
Ordering enough food starts with having an accurate guest count and considering the type of meal you’re serving. Portions for a light breakfast or afternoon gathering will differ from those needed for a full lunch or dinner. The menu can also affect quantities, particularly when guests have several dishes or sides to choose from.
We can use your expected attendance, menu, and event type to help determine suitable quantities. Providing these details in advance can reduce the risk of running short while avoiding unnecessary excess.
How Should You Plan for Different Dietary Requirements?
When possible, ask guests about dietary requirements before choosing the menu. For events where you can’t collect that information from everyone, offering a varied selection can give guests more options and make the meal accessible to a wider group.
Depending on the occasion, that may mean including vegetarian or vegan dishes alongside other selections and identifying foods that accommodate common dietary restrictions. If you know about specific allergies or requirements in advance, let us know so they can be considered when planning the menu. Clearly identifying different dishes can also help guests understand their options when it’s time to eat.
Serve Your Guests With Confidence
Put the food plan in place before the event so you can focus your attention on the people you’re hosting. Contact Platters Catering & Events to arrange catering that fits the occasion and the way you want the meal to be served.
