The role of catering staff at company parties

Organizing a corporate event is not an easy task. There are many details that must be taken care of to ensure that everything runs smoothly. One of the most important elements of this is the catering staff. They are not only responsible for serving food and drinks, but also for creating a positive experience for guests. In this blog, we discuss the crucial role of catering staff at corporate events and how Felix can contribute to this.

The first impression: hospitality at the entrance

A corporate event starts at the door. Hospitality staff are often the first point of contact for guests. A warm welcome and a friendly smile can immediately set the tone for the rest of the event. Well-trained hospitality staff know how to put guests at ease and create a welcoming atmosphere. This first contact is crucial, as it determines the first impression of the event.

Good and proactive service

There is nothing more annoying than poor service at a party/event. At corporate parties, efficiency among staff is therefore of great importance. Guests expect smooth and professional service. Catering staff therefore plays a crucial role in this. They must not only work quickly and efficiently, but also have an eye for detail and the guests' needs. This means they have to be constantly alert, proactive and respond quickly to any problems.

Tailor-made catering

Hospitality and catering staff must be able to adapt to different guest needs and requirements. This can range from serving simple drinks and snacks to catering an elaborate dinner. The ability to be flexible and creative is essential here.

The role at presentations and speeches

During corporate events and parties, presentations, speeches or other activities are often planned. Hospitality staff must ensure that these sessions are not disrupted. This requires proper planning and coordination. Employees must be able to work quietly and discreetly to ensure that service does not interfere with guests' concentration. This requires experience and professionalism.

Hospitality staff contribute to your corporate image

The appearance of your corporate event is greatly influenced by the quality of the catering staff. Well-dressed, professional and attentive staff contribute to a positive perception of your company. This is especially important at corporate events where customers, partners and other stakeholders are present. The hospitality staff is an extension of your company and their behavior and presentation reflect on your organization.
