Today, we're sharing a few tips and tricks that have helped us stand out in the competitive catering business. These insights are designed to enhance your experience and satisfaction with Kitchen 212º so we can take your event the extra degree.
Personalization is Key
Every event is unique, and so are its requirements. That’s why personalization sits at the heart of our services. From custom menu planning to themed décor, we ensure that every aspect reflects the personal style and preferences of our clients. Don't shy away from asking your caterer to tweak menu items to match the theme or dietary preferences.
Seasonal and Local Are the Best
Utilizing seasonal and local ingredients isn’t just a trend—it’s a practice that guarantees freshness and quality. These ingredients often taste better and can withstand the rigors of event preparation and service. Plus, they allow us to support local producers, which in turn can be a great talking point at events.
Preparation Is More Than Half the Battle
Efficient preparation transcends the kitchen. It encompasses everything from logistics and staff readiness to contingency plans for unexpected weather or last-minute guest list changes. At Kitchen 212º, detailed checklists and timelines ensure that nothing is left to chance, making the entire process seamless and stress-free for our clients.
Flexibility in Service
The ability to adapt quickly and effectively to changes can set a caterer apart. Whether it’s adjusting portion sizes on the fly or changing service style to better suit the event’s flow, flexibility in service delivery is crucial. Chef Mike and Mandy are attentive and responsive, ensuring they can meet these changes without disrupting the event.
Presentation Matters
First impressions count, and for food, it’s all in the presentation. We take pride in creating visually appealing dishes that match their taste in quality. Using garnishes that complement the main ingredients not only enhances the flavor but also adds a touch of elegance to the experience.
Communication and Coordination
Effective communication is the backbone of any successful catering operation. Regular meetings and open lines of communication with our clients help ensure that every aspect of the event is coordinated perfectly. This prevents any misalignments or misunderstandings that could affect the day of the event.
Innovative Menu Options
Staying ahead of culinary trends and offering innovative menu options can significantly enhance the catering experience. We continually experiment and update our offerings to include contemporary, creative dishes that excite our clients and their guests. Offering a mix of traditional favorites and modern cuisine ensures there’s something delightful for every palate.
These tips and tricks are a snippet of what makes Kitchen 212º preferred choice. They are not just practices but commitments we make to ensure that each event we cater is memorable and exceptional as we help take it the extra degree.
