How to Find Affordable Catering (and Keep it Delicious)Posted by Hanna Kogan on July 10th, 2017 Whether you are hosting an office event or backyard BBQ, the decision to hire Affordable Catering can save you a significant amount of time. Many people find that the words affordable and catering rarely go together. At Waterfront Gourmet, we know that isn’t true, and what we also know is affordable catering can still be incredibly delicious! As best we can, the team at Waterfront Gourmet Catering & Event tries to assist customers with an order to keep costs low and within a budget. No matter where you decide to get your catering, these tricks and tips can save you a significant amount of money on your catering costs. Get an Accurate Headcount Also, remember that your caterer should be flexible. If you had significant changes in your numbers, call and discuss the changes. We don’t want to see uneaten food thrown away either. Control the Duration of Your Event If you can’t directly control the timing or duration of an event, then another way to keep catering affordable is simply set the timeframe for food to be served and removed. Therefore, even if your event is running from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm, simply bring out lunch at 12:00 pm and have it cleared away by the 1:00 pm mark. Besides saving you on costs for over ordering, this can also help run the event smoothly. Don’t Be Afraid to Keep an Event Relaxed As the weather is warm and sunny, most event guests are happy to simply be outside or sipping on a refreshing beverage. Play to the season, and keep your catering options simple, light, and relaxed. Even as the weather changes, you can usually apply some of the same principles. Look for a Catering Company that Serves up the Trends Alternatively, look for a caterer that places emphasis on delivering fresh, delicious food, instead of a swanky experience. Chances are unless you are looking to serve a four-course meal, people will find accessible, natural food more appealing anyway!
