Catering Comeback MAKES A
Starting last year, in-person holiday parties were on the rise. The trend is continuing, with many workplaces actively planning catered holiday events to entice staff to return and encourage in-office culture. Weddings, holiday parties, and private events are also ramping back up. For operators, now is the chance to regain some of that pre-pandemic magic as guests crave more elevated, full-course food experiences. With a competitive landscape, operators will need creative ways to get ahead of the competition. Consider these top trends as you plan for a successful catering season:
CULTURAL CULINARY EXPERIENCES Go international with your menu and explore unique ingredients, unusual preparations, and diverse flavours to create a sense of cultural immersion for diners.
Catering has the potential to boost sales by 20% or more, so foodservice operators of all types should consider it as a lucrative and valuable revenue stream.
