1 Plan ahead

One of the keys to successful catering is planning ahead. You need to know the details of the event, such as the number of guests, the menu, the venue, the equipment, and the staff. You also need to check the local regulations and permits for catering, and make sure you have the necessary insurance and licenses. Planning ahead will help you avoid last-minute surprises and ensure that you have everything you need to deliver quality and safety.

One thing I find helpful is have a system in place that your customers will be satisfied. Keeping records as well as equipment that’s makes your business easier. Plan ahead and be ready to adapt to changes because trust there will always be curve balls thrown at you. And lastly keeping it professional , positive, patient, and overall open communication with your clients. As long you stay focused on the execution the end result will show.

Always be prepared for the unexpected. Sometimes something comes up that necessarily wouldn’t applied to the specific event that you were running on a certain day. Make sure managers and staff are able to adapt and think on fly in case such a situation arises.

Une chose importante à l'heure actuelle est de demander et de savoir les régimes spécifiques de chacun (végétarien, vegan, gluten free, lactose intolérant, etc.) Anticiper ceci permet de répondre au mieux à la satisfaction des personnes qui se sentent prises en compte, valorisées en tant qu'individu, et augmenter la satisfaction et l'expérience client générale ! ??

2 Follow food safety protocols

Food safety is paramount for catering events, as you don't want to risk food poisoning or contamination. You need to follow the food safety protocols for each stage of the catering process, from purchasing to preparation to transportation to storage to service. You need to ensure that your food is cooked, cooled, reheated, and held at the appropriate temperatures, and that you use separate utensils and containers for raw and cooked foods. You also need to label and date your food, and discard any leftovers or expired items.

Require or encourage managers, front of house staff, and back of house staff to become ServeSafe trained and certified. You can host a class during the day at your establishment. I got all of my staff certified and the difference has really shown. Now we can battle food safety and handling on every front.

3 Train your staff

Your staff are the face of your catering business, and they need to be trained and supervised to ensure quality and safety standards. You need to ensure that your staff have the required skills and certifications for catering, such as food handling, hygiene, and service. You also need to ensure that your staff follow the dress code, wear gloves and masks, wash their hands frequently, and avoid cross-contamination. You also need to monitor your staff's performance and provide feedback and guidance.

Pre shift and post shift meetings are a great tool to help manage and adapt to new challenges that arise. In pre shift meetings make sure all staff are on the same page and know what protocol will be for each event. In post shift meetings discuss what went right, went wrong, and what certain departments can do to improve for the next event or service.

4 Choose the right equipment

The equipment you use for catering events can make a big difference in the quality and safety of your food and beverages. You need to choose the right equipment for the type and size of the event, and make sure that it is clean, functional, and reliable. You need to have enough equipment to cook, store, transport, and serve your food and beverages, and to keep them at the optimal temperatures. You also need to have backup equipment in case of malfunction or emergency.

5 Communicate with your clients

Communication is essential for catering events, as you need to understand and meet your clients' expectations and preferences. You need to communicate with your clients before, during, and after the event, and provide them with clear and accurate information. You need to confirm the details of the event, such as the date, time, location, menu, budget, and special requests. You also need to update your clients on the progress and status of the catering, and solicit their feedback and satisfaction.

6 Review and improve

The last tip for ensuring quality and safety standards at catering events is to review and improve your catering practices. You need to evaluate the outcomes and impacts of each event, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your catering performance. You need to collect and analyze data, such as customer feedback, sales, costs, and waste. You also need to implement changes and improvements based on the data, and monitor the results. By reviewing and improving your catering practices, you can enhance your quality and safety standards and grow your catering business.
