Catering

Catering, in simple terms, is a business of providing food and services at remote areas. The food is prepared by professionals to be served to a group of people at a given place for a given time and fee. Some caterers also provide catering supplies like dishes, napkins, glasses and much more on extra charges. There are various types of catering services provided like Mobile catering services, Event catering services, Industrial catering services and many more. Now-a-days the need for caterers is increasing with the increase in number of occasions.

Mobile catering includes a caterer serving food directly from a vehicle or cart, which is specifically designed for that purpose. The vehicle could be a street cart or a food truck or a mobile kitchen or a concession trailer. This kind of catering is widely seen at outdoor events like concerts, workplaces and a few business zones. In addition, mobile catering vehicles are also used after the occurrence of natural disasters, to feed people in damage-affected areas. Event catering services are available in two types, known as box-lunch drop-off and full-service catering. The term “caterer” is generally used for event caterers, who serve food with waiting staff at dining tables or set up a self-serve buffet. Event catering is usually seen at banquets, conventions and weddings. Food served for airline passengers, schools, prisons and other institutional settings constitute a part of Industrial catering. It may include contract management of client food service facilities.
