When planning your next event, catering is a big factor you need to consider. Good planning can make it an enjoyable and less stressful experience. There are many types of catering models available that we have discussed in a previous article. But the one that stands with most value that we continue to recommend to our clients at Zesty is buffet style.
Best Bang for Your Buck
Buffet style can be an amazing choice for many different reasons. Aside for its convenience, it offers a non-expensive choice for many. The model lends itself to work without servers.
Your catering provider can set-up large aluminum serving trays or bring chafing dishes that keep the food warm or cold fresh as necessary. All you need is a large table set-up or counter area where the trays can be placed depending on the number of guests you plan to serve.
Once set-up, your guests can self-serve picking up just enough food they like. If you plan for your event to last for hours in case of wedding as an example, you can request chafers from your your catering provider. The chafers have fuel gels placed underneath to keep food warm or ice to keep salad and deserts fresh and cool.
Clean-up Is a Breeze
Buffet styles will always be the easiest to clean-up. With disposable plates and cutlery clean up can be a breeze.
You are able to give your guests more variety of food to choose from cold to hot. The food can last longer in the chafers because it has fuel gel warmer beneath and can also be covered. It’s always a good idea to ensure you have bins with large capacity to be able to just recycle any used plates and cutlery or get rid of any left-overs.
Great Presentation
When it comes to the appeal for your guests, it can be more captivating for them to see their different choices in one line. Seeing the diversity of the options gives your guests the chance to decide what they would like.
You will be able to make sure your guests aren’t overwhelmed as well with seeing so many things that may be scattered around as well. When everything is on one localized table it is easier to make sure your event can run smoothly.
Such A Convenience
Even when dealing with set-up depending on how you are doing your buffet style, you won’t even have to prepare the set-up or do the clean-up.
With buffet style, you get to focus on your guests. You can focus more on the entertainment part. Also, the cost of the disposable or regular washable dinnerware is all included which is a money saver.
Specialty drinks can be something fun that your buffet style caterer may also offer. Again, having everything in one localized spot is beneficial so there is no confusion. And your guests can have the comfort of serving themselves in a relaxed environment.
