Brief
As summer approached, this client was keen to ensure their workforce was rewarded for all their efforts throughout the year. We were tasked with providing a 2-course street food experience for 250 people at a corporate HQ in Nottingham; this is how we did it.
Solution
The solution process started way before the enquiry itself came in. As part of our onboarding process, we carry out a thorough assessment on all of our caterers and award the Catering Excellence Benchmark to those that excel. We do this so that you have the confidence that the food quality, high level of customer service, and compliance are all matters of formality.
Upon receiving the initial enquiry, we knew it was important to gather as much detail as possible from the discovery call so that we could provide an accurate quote for the catering services, per day.
From our experience of managing multitudes of events, we know the importance of having a sound ‘token system’ in place, to ensure that each member of staff gets what they want, caterers do not run out of stock, and all dietary requirements are taken care of.
In the end, we managed to:
Supply 5 caterers from within the Caterly Community, including: Woodfired pizza, Smashed burgers, Pan Asian & Oriental, Brownies and Ice cream.
Ensure everyone was fed within the allocated time period
Deliver a highly successful event with a number of staff thanking us for organising the event To ensure that everything ran like clockwork, it was essential that we had an Event Manager on location to welcome the caterers on site, position them accordingly, and consistently liaise between the caterers and the staff in the queue to manage any wait times
