Catering
Catering
is the business of providing food service at a remote site. A mobile catering
service serves food directly from a vehicle or handcart equipped with
food preparation equipment. Mobile catering is common at outdoor events
(such as concerts), workplaces, and downtown business districts. A catering
company or specialist is expected to know not just food preperation, but
how to make it aesthetically pleasing. Catering a wedding requires working
with the entire theme or color scheme of the wedding.
An event catering service serves food with wait staff at dining tables
or sets up a self-serve buffet. The food may be prepared on site or shipped
in but often some combination depending on the menu and facilities at
the site. The event catering staff is responsible not only for preparing
the food but also setting up the dining area and waiting tables. This
service is typically provided at banquets, conventions, and weddings.
Any event where all the attenders are provided with food and drinks or
sometimes only hors d'oeuvres is often called a catered event.
