Want a career full of parties, food, people and colleagues decked out a la Dan Humphrey as ‘cater-waiter’ in the last season of Gossip Girl? Need we say more?!
Food service catering industry events range from corporate lunch box drop-off to full-service wedding receptions. However, usually an event caterer’s responsibility involves managing wait staff serving tables or self-serve buffets at banquets, conventions, and weddings.
Although food is the focal point, caterers also oversee decorations, such as table settings and lighting. Catering companies will as such, execute the client’s envisioned decoration theme or color scheme. Aesthetically-pleasing (and good-tasting) food alone can appeal to the senses, but caterers must keep in mind the decor and ambiance needed to make an event successful. Catering is usually sold on a per-person basis, meaning that there is a flat price for each additional person. Caterers need to keep the budget in mind to make a profit.
