By Carl Bell


A lot of company owners or managers will often want to host an event for their staff or for potential and existing clients. When you are trying to locate a company to provide corporate catering Boston there is a little research to be done. Using companies to handle the hospitality at your event will leave you free to organize other aspects of the function.

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 have the initial consultation with your planner they will go through your ideas with you and ask you what you need. If you are not sure about what food to provide they advise you and guide you in the right direction. Some companies may ask for a deposit before they start to organize your event and this will be taken off your final bill.

Prices charged by hospitality specialists will depend on how many guests there are and what they are going to be eating and drinking. A simple cold buffet style menu service will be reasonably cheap and prices will be higher if a sit down banquet is needed. Most firms will have set menu option and these can be very cost effective.

Many firms also provide bar services which are extremely popular and a useful addition for your event. The firm will come and set up a fully functional drinks bar which is stocked with soft drinks, tea and coffee and alcohol if requested. The bar service can be paid for in two ways either up front of they will charge your guests for each drink they have.

Another thing to think about is what equipment you may need to use to entertain a large number of guests. If you are serving just a cold buffet the company can prepare this in advance and bring it with them. For a hot food options they may need to bring their own cooking equipment if you do not have it for their use. Extras such as napkins, plates and glassware can also be provided by the caterers should you need it.
