Locating Companies For Corporate Catering Boston

By Carl Bell


If you are an owner of a company or part of a management team you may at some point need to organize an event for employees or clients. When you are looking for corporate catering Boston there are a few options open to you. Hiring a firm to handle the catering side of your function will leave you free to concentrate on other areas of the event.

A little thought is needed when searching for a firm to handle the food and drinks at your event. The first thing to do is work out how many people will be attending and what food and beverages you would like to offer them. There are catering firms in Boston that offer these services and they will be happy to advise you when you are planning a function.

Many options are available in catering and after a little homework has been done you can select a suitable menu. Many styles of food are provided from cold snacks, sushi buffets and 5 course meals. Most of the hospitality companies will also provide staff to wait on tables and serve drinks to your guests.

After the number of attendees has been confirmed and you have decided on what to spend it will be time to source a company to provide your food and drink. Businesses in the industry will advertise in phone books and online and finding one is fairly easy. When you have made contact a party planner will come and see you to go through your plans and start to organize the event.

When you have the initial consultation with your planner they will go through your ideas with you and ask you what you need. If you are not sure about what food to provide they advise you and guide you in the right direction. Some companies may ask for a deposit before they start to organize your event and this will be taken off your final bill.

Prices charged by hospitality specialists will depend on how many guests there are and what they are going to be eating and drinking. A simple cold buffet style menu service will be reasonably cheap and prices will be higher if a sit down banquet is needed. Most firms will have set menu option and these can be very cost effective.

Another service offered by the catering businesses is mobile drinks bars which are a very popular choice for many clients. They will come to your venue and set up a fully stocked bar with both alcoholic and soft drinks. Most firms that supply a bar will give you the option of paying for the stock in advance or they will bill guests per drink.

The final thing to think about is what equipment you might need for your event. A cold buffet can be prepared in advance by the firm and brought to your venue on the day. If you are serving hot food they may need to bring ovens and other equipment if you do not have kitchens available for them to use. Other items such as crockery and utensils can also be supplied by the catering company.
