While the ability of a catering company’s Chefs is paramount; without the correct style of service as well as able and courteous waiting staff even the best cuisine can lose its flavour. A professional catering company will not only seek to provide excellent cuisine they will also be knowledgeable in the best way to present and serve the menu to your guests: Regardless of whether it is buffet or banquet catering services you intend to employ.
Every couple will have their own ideas and preferences with regards to the type of cuisine they would like. Even so, ultimately it is down to the catering company to advise them; concerning feasible styles and ways in which to serve their choice of cuisine. And this is where experienced and professional caterers will make all the difference with regards to the success of a function.
It may be that the menu and the guests – even both – are greatly varied in which case a unique and special style of service may need to be employed; to ensure all your guests are equally and suitable served. Usually, experienced catering services will not be unnerved or intimidated by the prospect – If they are, speak to other caterers before making a decision; to ascertain what is feasible and what is not: Although using reputable caterers is paramount – a less reputable catering company may agree to requests they are neither experienced nor equipped to provide.
Most reputable catering companies will offer several service options. Catering services offering an Asian buffet will often recommend that each table has a rotating Karahi Stand – these stands are incredibly eye catching and present the food in an extremely exciting way. Many dishes can be served at once and are easily accessible. A Karachi stand is quickly and easily replenished by waiting staff which also bodes well for efficiency; a particularly crucial point with regards to large parties of guests.
Many catering companies are limited in the type of serving styles they can provide. The Karahi stand is by far the most commonplace method for Asian weddings and similar functions: Silver service, by far, the most formal. Silver service waiting staff serves guests individually – For large functions this demands a lot of highly experienced people to carry it off with traditional panache. Table service can provide a similar flamboyance to your function; dishes are placed on the table and waiting staff are kept at hand. And most reputable catering companies will certainly be able to provide this serving option. The most important thing however is to discuss all options with any catering company you might be considering and make requirements clear from the start. This way nothing is left to chance.
