If you are an owner of a company or part of a management team you may at some point need to organize an event for employees or clients. When you are looking for corporate catering Boston there are a few options open to you. Hiring a firm to handle the catering side of your function will leave you free to concentrate on other areas of the event.

A little thought is needed when searching for a firm to handle the food and drinks at your event. The first thing to do is work out how many people will be attending and what food and beverages you would like to offer them. There are catering firms in Boston that offer these services and they will be happy to advise you when you are planning a function.

The options offered by these companies will depend on your requirements and some care is needed when choosing a menu. Any type of food can be provided ranging from a simple snack service to a full on banquet. Fully trained waiting staff, chefs and bar tenders can also be provided.

After the number of attendees has been confirmed and you have decided on what to spend it will be time to source a company to provide your food and drink. Businesses in the industry will advertise in phone books and online and finding one is fairly easy. When you have made contact a party planner will come and see you to go through your plans and start to organize the event.

When you are speaking with the party planner they will go through the events of the day and make a note of you requirements. If you do not know what to offer they will be more than happy to assist you and offer their ideas. A lot of the catering firms will require a deposit if you agree to hire them and this sum will be taken off your final bill.

The costs involved in hiring a catering firm will differ greatly and will be determined by your requirements. A small snack menu will not cost a fortune but if you need an elaborate banquet with full staff you can expect to pay thousands of dollars. Many companies will charge a fixed price per head depending on which menu is chosen.

Another service offered by the catering businesses is mobile drinks bars which are a very popular choice for many clients. They will come to your venue and set up a fully stocked bar with both alcoholic and soft drinks. Most firms that supply a bar will give you the option of paying for the stock in advance or they will bill guests per drink.

The final thing to think about is what equipment you might need for your event. A cold buffet can be prepared in advance by the firm and brought to your venue on the day. If you are serving hot food they may need to bring ovens and other equipment if you do not have kitchens available for them to use. Other items such as crockery and utensils can also be supplied by the catering company.
