Utah Valley Catering: Should we choose a buffet or sit-down service?

by Aug 31, 2016Uncategorized0 comments

When you are planning your event and your Utah Valley catering, you might not have decided whether you want a buffet service or a sit-down service. There are many things to consider when it comes to deciding between the two, but either way, a buffet or a sit-down will ensure your guests are fed.

One of the first things to consider is what type of event it is. Is it an open house of some kind, like a store grand opening or a wedding reception, where people can come at any time? If that is the case, then a buffet might be your best option. In those situations, we just keep the buffet full for anywhere from 2-3 hours. Our chafing dishes make it possible to keep food warm and fresh.

If your event has a set start time, then a sit-down service might be appropriate. Maybe for a corporate training or a meeting, a sit-down service would be best. This ensures your guests can stay in their seat, focus on the presentation and be served by our staff. Sit-down service is also great for ensuring that your guests are able to visit and chat. You can do seating assignments a lot easier with a sit down service.

Another thing to consider when deciding between buffet or sit-down service with your Utah Valley catering is how many people will be attending. If you have a smaller, more intimate gathering, a sit down is a great option. In this case, the kitchen staff doesn’t need to have a large buffet set up and in the way.

If you have a large event for hundreds or even thousands of people, buffets are a great way to serve people quickly. And when we say buffet for large amounts of people, we mean many buffets. Depending on how many people are at your event, we can set up many buffets, not just one or two. We would prefer to have your guests enjoying their meal instead of waiting in line.
