As the new economy impacts all industries it, opens opportunities for new ways of doing business. We recently began restructuring of our company to accommodate this new environment. As usually, in our industry, these changes seem to start on the east coast of the United States and moves to the west coast.
When you catered an event in the old economy, you used a local caterer to plan and create the menu, prepare the food and provide the equipment rentals, servers and bartenders. Then, on the day of the event, the caterer arrived and set up and facilitated the entire event.
With the new economy, budgets have tightened, elaborate affairs have dwindled, and self service catering has expanded. Now begins the new era of Personal Chef Service Catering (based on Technomic, Inc. a food research company) where the client hires a quality chef to come to either the home or a commercial kitchen, prepare the entire meal, place it in the client supplied chafing dishes or platters, clean the kitchen and leave. The value of this service is lower cost to the client, less over head to the catering service, and a more personal touch to each event. If, however, the client doesn’t have the necessary equipment or contacts, the Personal Chef Service can provide referrals to business partners to complete the event.
Things to consider for this service are the size of the kitchen facility including cold storage and prep area, the number of attendee’s at the event, and the needed time to prepare entire meal which can affect the cost of renting a location.
So if you are looking for a more economical personal approach to catering then this service is perfect for you. As the new economy takes hold in our country, there will be more economical choices for consumers and unique opportunities for businesses.
