Corporate Catering Sydney also love working with clients to help bring a particular creative idea to life and produce a menu that is truly unique and delicious. When people get together what is one of their favorite past times? Well if you said baseball you would be right, but what I am going to is eating. We work hard, play hard and when dinner comes we eat, hard. When it comes to business this concept is no different. Why should it be?
Many business find it rewarding to provide their employees with many functions like barbecues, and banquets to reward good behavior, however how do they keep the production running in a normal day while rewarding their employees or shareholders with our favorite past time? The answer is they cater it! Corporate catering is a great way to have someone else bring you the food and to serve it!
Catering can work for any line of business! For a customer service call center, for example, the boss can have the food brought in, through a local caterer and serve it in a buffet like atmosphere, where on the employee’s meal break they can enjoy the meal on the boss’ dime. Another option is for times like holiday parties when the employees can actually enjoy a break together, in a sit-down atmosphere. (Either style works great when the boss just needs away to get all the employees together for the pesky end-of-the-year reports. You bring it they will come.)
Catering to the corporation can be very costly! So with this being said there are some guidelines that a manager, or host, is going to want to follow. This will help the party be cost effective, as well as, not come across as, “the boss is being cheap again.”
The first guideline is, look at the reason behind the need to hold the function. Is it to congratulate the employees for a year well done, or is it for the shareholders to thank them for their support? Both of these might be a good reason to splurge a little bit and allow for a bit of expenditure. On the other hand if it is for a basic business meeting to where it is easier to have the food brought in, you might want to find less expensive food choices.
The second guideline is to actually assess how many people you are intending to serve. As well as the question, of whom? If this is going to be the full company party of employees and their families you might want to scale down from having the lobster, and stick with the chicken or ribs. However, if you are looking at a shareholder meeting to where you are going to be asking for more funds, you might want to add a bit more wine and ask for what fish is in season.
Lastly, the company that you are going to use as the caterer is the next point you are going to want to look at. Is this caterer reputable? Do they provide a good quality product with quality service, or is the service mediocre with a price that would have you trying to pinch corners to stay with in budget.
Laying out what you are looking for, the reason behind it can be very productive for you business, when it comes to the catering. When you do this small form of gratitude to your employees or shareholders, will be happier and thankful that you took the time to do this. In turn, they will be more receptive to providing a better quality output for your business, because of the quality input you provided to their bellies, with the catering.
