Previously on our blog, we have discussed some of our catering tips for large events. Now, it is commonly known that larger events can be more difficult to cater for. But, this does not mean that small events are super easy either like you would assume. So, today we are going to share with you some of our tips for catering for a small event.

When you become so used to catering for an event of a certain size it can be difficult to revert to what is necessary for a smaller size. Here are our tips for catering for small events.

Don’t Overbuy
With small events, it is super easy to overbuy on catering goods. You can get carried away with yourself and end up providing the event with more than what they can handle. You need to ensure you keep to the guidelines set out by the event people.

Have A Plan
One of the best ways to ensure you cater to a small event correctly is to have a plan. Write down a plan that you can follow step by step. This will help to ensure that you do not overspend. That you stick to the requirements of the event.

Remember Your Guest Quantity
You should have it written down somewhere clearly how many guests you need to cater for. Constantly reminding yourself of this number to ensure you only cater for this amount. As mentioned, it can be easy to over cater and buy too much. So reminding yourself how many people there are will help you to not do this.

With smaller events, it is all about knowing who you are catering for. Ensuring that you are meeting their requirements. It will be super easy for you to overspend and buy more than you need. So focusing on numbers is ideal for this situation.
