Planning a corporate event that'll have your colleagues talking for months?

Here are tips to ensure your event is smoother than your boss's freshly polished shoes: 🤭

1️⃣Timing is everything: Schedule food service to align with your event's agenda, ensuring guests are well-fed throughout.

2️⃣Accommodate dietary needs: Always have options for common restrictions like gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

3️⃣Don't forget beverages: Provide a selection of drinks, including water, coffee, tea, and perhaps mocktails for a special touch.

4️⃣Hire Catering By Design®️ - because nothing says "successful event" like gourmet food that doesn't come from the vending machine 🍽️

Remember, a flawless corporate event is like a well-oiled machine - except it smells better and has tastier snacks! 😉
