TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CATERING A PICNIC

Date:

Picnics are fun times, besides enjoying at home, one can go outdoors with the family and friends and spend some quality time. 

In our busy schedule, we are hardly able to spend quality time with our family and relatives, there can be no other way of spending a good time along by having an outing with our family.

Indoor get-togethers are mundane and do not provide sufficient space for us for enjoying the nature and beauty of the outside world.

To reduce the hassle of taking things out and especially preparing food, catering services have started offering picnic catering services as well.

In this article, we will discuss various tips and tricks for catering a picnic.

Confirm The Theme:

The most important thing that a picnic catering service must keep in mind is to confirm the picnic theme with the client beforehand. 

Since one is providing catering service outdoors, the theme or the venue where the client is going for a picnic plays an important role.

If it is a zoo or a jungle safari, the food can be prepared accordingly, it could be going to a beach or a mountain trek or anything like that.

Picnic caterers can customize the food for the client according to the place they visit. 

Preparing food according to the theme makes it fun for the children and connects people more with the picnic location.

Catering On-Site:

While sometimes the client does not want packed food from the caterer, they request catering and preparing the food on-site itself.

This is one of the requirements of picnic catering sometimes, to adhere to this demand of the client one must keep the kitchen staff ready to provide services outdoors as well.

In such a case, the caterers should ask the client for the venue so that they can carry the required vessels and pieces of equipment for setting up their picnic kitchen.

The research and development team of the caterers should be prompt enough to research the area, prepare the team accordingly and make them adapt to the surroundings and make certain arrangements beforehand.

Checking The Menu And Adapting To It:

Since we are discussing picnic catering, it is also vital to discuss the menu along with it. While parties require some traditional food, items that can be heavily enjoyed through buffets, picnics require lighter food items.

While catering a picnic, the caterers should keep such food items on the menu which can be easily held in their hands and eaten. 

They should be less complex and cause less hassle.

The buffet system is not to be used here, thus, the caterers can discuss the preferences for different items to be included for appetizers, main course, and dessert.

The main idea is to enjoy the surroundings and focus on the atmosphere more than merely having food.

Go For Lunchbox System:

This is another way of catering a picnic. It is often seen that events at school are held and the participants are provided with refreshments in a box.

Picnic catering services can also offer such services to the clients. 

The caterers can ask for the number of people for whom lunch boxes are to be sent, and a standard quantity of the food items decided by the client are sent to the venue or picnic spot accordingly.

This is one method of providing off-site catering services and is more convenient for the caterers to do so.

The food items that are packed are way lighter than the ones that would have been prepared on-site. 

The biggest advantage to the caterers is that these items can be prepared a day before and can be packed in stylish lunchboxes and delivered, it also does not hamper the normal business of the caterers.

Keep In Mind The People For Whom Food Is Being Prepared:

Another important thing that the caterers must keep in mind while providing a picnic catering service is to check the demography of the client.

This means that the caterer should inquire about the different age groups of people for whom food is being prepared.

Often it is seen that aged people do not like burgers and pizzas, whereas this is the most liked snack for kids, thus, a proper balance should be made to satisfy every age group going for the picnic.

The food menu should be decided to keep in mind the choices of all, and the caterer should give a number of options to the client for them to choose from.

Thus, these were the tips and tricks that can help in picnic catering. Food is always the king of any event. It makes outdoor trips even more fun and enjoyable.

Picnic catering can be a very good option for any catering service to enhance the scope of its business.
