What are the best practices for planning a catering menu?
- Calculate Venue Thermal Capacity: Fast-casual fried items lose heat rapidly once unsealed. Plan layout with insulated holding strategies or staggered serving times if your venue lacks warming equipment.
- Optimize Traffic Flow Efficiency: A single self-serve line handles 50 guests every 10–15 minutes. For larger crowds, double-sided buffet lines or individual stations prevent bottlenecks.
- Account for Transport Compression: When transport exceeds 15 minutes, vented packaging is critical to prevent steam buildup, which turns coatings soggy.
- Designate a Surplus Strategy: Always identify a clean, food-safe plan for unserved leftovers, such as pre-arranging take-home containers.
