Two Different Ways to Serve Large Groups
Bulk Food Catering
Best when food can be delivered in larger quantities and served by the organiser.
Choose the Right Format for the Event
Meal Boxes
Best when:
- Time is limited
- Seating is limited
- Distribution needs to be fast
- Guests are moving
- Individual portions are preferred
Buffet Catering
Best when:
- Guests have more time
- Venue space is available
- Greater choice is required
- Guests can dine at their own pace
The Box Should Suit the Food
The packaging format should be selected according to:
- Meal type
- Number of components
- Transport time
- Temperature
- Saucy or dry dishes
- Bread requirements
- Dessert
- Distribution method
The exact packaging should be confirmed based on the selected menu and requirement.
Plan the Timing Carefully
Meal box requirements should be coordinated around:
- Packing time
- Dispatch time
- Travel time
- Delivery location
- Required serving time
- Number of distribution points
This is especially important for offices, conferences and large organised groups.
Meal Boxes for Different Teams or Sites
Where required, meal boxes can potentially be planned for distribution across different locations depending on:
- Order volume
- Distance
- Timing
- Delivery requirements
The practical feasibility should be discussed directly.
