4 Catering Myths That Should Be Unraveled

Catering is not just about delicious food, but more than that. One may need to hire a catering company that will help in managing other things related to event such as preparing event menu, event coordination, transportation of food items, setting up of tables, chairs, linens and place selection where the invitees will be seated, but the food preparation and its attractive presentation is still most important.
When it comes to catering, several misconceptions are floating around as uninformed people pass in misinformation about it. In this document, we will take a look on associated myths and facts about events and parties catering.
Myth#: Food is most of the catering bill:
Although, food is an essential component of your catering budget, but the overall bill of catering also include several other things, depending upon the services the client has select along with food. For example, labor can be costly and charged separately. This charge will highly depends upon the number of invitees, selection of menu, style of food service (buffet or seated), and duration of event etc.
In addition, catering service provider is also responsible to arrange your table-top (stainless steel, china, and glassware) along with other rentals including everything from tables and chairs, to tents and dancing floors.
Therefore, if you don’t want to hire an independent event planner for successful handling of your event, you catering service provide may handle all services related to event planning such as room decorations, floral centrepieces etc. and all such things can account for a significant part of your catering bill.
Myth#2: Plated menu is expensive in comparison to buffet:
This myth is not true. In fact, buffet systems are tend to be high priced in comparison to plated systems. The reason is that buffet system includes more food options along with additional serving staff. In contrast, plated system includes fixed amount of food served by the well-dressed staff.
Myth#3: Caterers only serve frozen food:
This is the most common myth about catering. In fact, true when catering was first started. Due to lack of food-preservation equipment, many hotels and food service providers serve frozen food. Due to significant advancements in technology, guests are always provided with fresh and hygienic food.
Myth#4: An off-season time or the weekday can help to reduce catering budget:
Another common misconception about hiring catering is that, if they plan their event during off-season time or weekday, overall catering costs can be reduced drastically. Catering service for weddings offer off-season or weekday discounts but the price of equipment, food, linens and serving staff remains eth same.
