Workplace Catering: How Did You Ever Do Without It?
There's nothing more scrumptious than a snack at work but, whether your workplace is the height of decorum or delightfully down to earth, catering a workplace event is not like it used to be. Health is at the forefront of everyone's minds these days, with gluten free, vegan and even paleo diets a hot topic of lunchtime conversation. Organisations themselves, from local councils to big businesses, are increasingly adopting healthy eating policies and procedures to govern what can and can't be served to staff and their guests, and absolutely everyone has an opinion on what's hot and what's not.
If you're the lucky one who's been asked to rush out and grab something for your colleagues to enjoy during your upcoming workplace event, finding something to cater to everyone's tastes and unique dietary requirements is no mean feat. Forget that light and airy cream cake that made everyone sigh only a few years ago, put out the barbie and don't even think about ordering pizza. It seems that, whatever you choose, someone's going to be disappointed. Perhaps that's why workplace catering has never been so popular.
If one look at your colleagues' dietary demands has you heading for the hills, do yourself a favour and call in the professionals. When it comes to fussy eaters, catering professionals have seen it all—and found the food to suit it. From small internal meetings to splashy AGMs and gala events, having a company of professionals on hand to manage the catering at your next workplace event will ensure that you not only conjure up the food your colleagues and your organisation demand, but you'll be free to enjoy it.
Catering companies are in the planning game, and if you don't know what you'd do when your clumsy boss dips his wheaten crackers into his celiac secretary's gluten free hummus, well . . . they do. With a calm and critical eye, your caterer will be prepared for any eventuality.
Best of all, while you'll certainly enjoy the lightened workload when passing your duties to a professional and the food, of course, will be great, catering companies offer one extra, incredible bonus. When the event's over and your team is ready to leave, your catering crew will be the ones tidying up the mess and carting the dirty dishes away, back to where they came from.
With professional caterers on board, you'll avoid the culinary faux pas at your next workplace event, satisfy those fussy workmates and leave the cleanup in someone else's hands. All in all, you'd have to say that's a job well done.
