PLANNING A MIXED SPREAD?
Think in layers: appetizers, something filling, then drinks and dessert.
For events where guests will come and go, a combination of finger foods and platters is often easier than one formal meal. For a seated or timed lunch, one of the dedicated lunch catering formats may be a better fit.
Need a full meal instead?
For meetings and events where everyone is eating at the same time, compare hot lunch catering, sandwich platters, or bag and box lunches.
