Sensitive Catering

Here are a few tips I learned on arranging for a catering service.

1. Know your guests. It is important to know their eating preferences. You do not want to offend them by having food prepared that does not match their preferences.
2. Know basic cultural food groups. Find out what types of foods your guests prefer. If they are conscious about their food intake, take note of the ingredients used to prepare the food.
3. Balance the menu. This is especially helpful if you have vegetarians, health conscious persons, persons of varying religions, and buffet fans all in one room.
4. Check and double check the menu. Always be sure that the caterer, cook, or host knows what types of food and preparations should be made.
5. Mark them properly. Aside from the fancy names of the food served, include some details like main ingredients so guests who are not clinically allowed to eat fatty food doesn't.

This is it for now. Once I learn more, I will let you know.
