In the Kitchen

With the planning of an event, one of the biggest items that you need to check on your list is catering and its cost. When catering how much per person? This is a common question for event organisers. But of course, what you really want to know is how to save money and still serve delicious food to your guests. If you don’t plan your catering carefully, it can have a big impact on your budget.

Below are some suggestions for planning and budgeting the catering.

Know your guests

Knowing your guests is the first step to developing a cost effective budget for your catering needs. Knowing the gender, age and occupations of your guests will help you to plan so that you don’t overspend on unnecessarily, but will also help to ensure you have enough food to satisfy. For example, male attendees tend to eat larger meals than females, so if your group is predominately men, you may like to order more accordingly.

Make a great impression

The food you provide can make an office meeting, training event or conference much more memorable. People remember when they are served food that makes them feel like they are being well looked after. From a great selection of fresh seasonal food to a nourishing hot lunch, guests will know you care from the food you chose.
