How to choose catering for a corporate event?

Planning a corporate event and wondering how to choose the right catering?

It’s not just about the food – it’s about the overall experience your guests will take home with them. At FoodART Agency, we believe that every event is unique and deserves a personalized approach. That’s why we’ve put together a practical guide to help you choose a catering service that will give your event the perfect touch.

What really matters

When selecting catering for a corporate event, it’s not just about having tasty food. It’s about the overall experience your guests will have. Quality catering can enhance the event’s atmosphere, support networking opportunities, and leave a positive impression on everyone attending.

Key Factors When Choosing a Catering Service

Type and Nature of the EventEvery corporate event has its own specific needs. A product launch requires a different approach than a Christmas party or a team-building event. Consider the following:

• Formality of the event – is it an official presentation or an informal gathering?

• Schedule and timing – will it be a short reception or a full-day event?

• Guest profile – how many people are you expecting, and what are their preferences?

  
  

Venue and CapacityChoose a catering provider that can accommodate the specifics of your venue. If you’re still looking for the perfect location for your event, we offer exceptional spaces for your unique moments:

Bistro Na Chlebu at Invalidovna – a minimalist-style bistro where you’ll feel truly comfortable. Ideal for corporate events with a capacity of 60 guests indoors plus a terrace for an additional 50 guests.

Caffé Pellé in Bubeneč – a charming café with a beautiful garden located in a newly renovated Neo-Renaissance villa. Perfect for corporate events, offering an indoor capacity of 10–30 guests and a garden space for 20–300 guests.

In addition to unique venues, we also offer complete services, including catering, homemade lemonades, grilling, and bartenders – all tailored to your vision.

Menu and Food Quality

A good catering menu should:

• Take into account guests' dietary restrictions

• Offer a variety of flavors and styles

• Use high-quality ingredients and fresh produce

• Present the food in an appealing way

  
  

Original concepts – such as connecting all menu components through a single key ingredient – can give your event a distinctive character and become a great conversation starter.

• Possible discounts for larger orders

• Conditions for changes or adjustment

  
  

Logistics and ServiceMake sure your chosen catering company can:

• Ensure timely delivery and preparation

• Provide enough serving staff

• Take care of post-event clean-up

• Handle unexpected situations professionally

  
  

Trends in Corporate Catering

Modern corporate catering focuses on:

• Interactive elements – live cooking, themed food stations

• Healthy and sustainable ingredients

• Locally sourced and seasonal produce

• Original presentation – creative serving and unexpected flavor pairings

  
  

Summary
