Business Catering For Corporate Functions

By Dennis Cook


The meetings that companies and businesses hold are becoming more and more common. Everyone who attends these functions has one commonality - they are hungry after listening to speeches, lectures, and training sessions. They will engage the use of business catering companies that can provide them with all of their hospitality needs.

Morning events usually require gallons of fresh, hot coffee. Sweet rolls, fresh fruit, and juices may be offered for a casual continental breakfast. If a more bountiful meal is required, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, breakfast potatoes, and biscuits may be offered.

Mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks will require much more coffee. Snacks can also be provided. These can consist of cookies, brownies, candy, and maybe hot and/or cold tea. This is an aspect of this type of catering that can be very creative. These breaks can have a theme that will feature specific foods.

A few of these very unique ideas include a nacho station with toppings such as tortilla chips, melted cheese, ground beef, chicken fajita meat, jalapenos, and salsa for everyone to enjoy. A movie theme would also be appropriate with hot buttered popcorn straight from a popcorn machine, boxed movie candy, and sodas. If you have several coffee lovers, a coffee bar may be in order complete with regular and decaf coffee, cinnamon sticks, shaved chocolate, whipped cream and flavored creamers or syrups.

Buffet lunches are usually served for these types of groups. Some of these buffets may have unique themes to make them more enticing and interesting. The foods could be a Mexican buffet, deli buffet, fajita or taco bar, salad line, or even hot dogs and hamburgers with all the toppings. The desserts that are offered are usually of a very simple fare so attendees can bring them back into the seminar or meeting if they so desire. Cookies, bars, and brownies are the most common.

Many of those who attend business meetings, seminars, and conferences engage in working lunches. It is possible to get very creative with these boxed meals. They don't always have to consist of ham and cheese or turkey and Swiss sandwiches. Luncheon sandwiches can be served on a variety of bread items which may include croissants or hoagie buns.

At the end of the working day, an open bar with appetizers and mini desserts may be offered to the attendees. This will allow them to network further and continue any business discussions they may have engaged in during the day. The bar could include wine, beer, mixed drinks, and sodas. The appetizers could be a simple array of meatballs, chicken wings, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and mini brownies and cookies.

This particular type of catering can provide steady and consistent work to a proficient company. It is not as stressful as providing foods for weddings and is much simpler to serve. As companies grow larger and the need for communication and training within these companies grows, so will the demand for quality foods and service.
