3 Reasons To Hire A Caterer Instead Of Having A Potluck
If you are planning a party or private event in the future and want food to be available, you have a couple of options. Option one is you could have every guest bring an item and assemble a pot luck. Option two is you could hire a party catering company. While potlucks can be fun, there are a number of reasons why you might want to consider some professional help. Here are three reasons to choose a catering company over a potluck.
You Won't Have to Coordinate
As we just said, a potluck does sound fun. Right up until the moment you realize you will be the one trying to keep 10, 20 or more people organized. A potluck only works if everyone knows who is bringing what and then everyone actually follows through and holds up their end of the bargain.
When you choose to go with a party catering company instead, you won't have any of those problems. You simply tell the caterer what kind of menu you want and when you arrive at the event, everything will be there. There won't be a shortage of plates, cups or napkins because the caterer took care of everything, leaving you free to just enjoy your event.
Something for Everyone
Organizing a potluck can also be difficult if you have people on the guest list with dietary restrictions. Trying to make sure there is enough food to go around even if someone is a vegan or on a low sodium diet is just another hassle you'll have to deal with if you are organizing things. But professional caterers are experts at creating a menu that can please just about everyone. All you have to do is give them a head count and let them know how many of those people have special requests. They'll be able to come up with a feast containing enough food and drink to keep everyone happy, no matter what their personal taste or restrictions may be.
No Clean Up
The act of actually eating all of the food at the potluck is clearly the best part, but what comes next is not too fun at all. If you've ever surveyed the damage in your office or home right after 20 people leave at the end of the night, you'll know what we mean. When you hire a professional caterer, you can also ask them to stick around for the long haul. They'll be around to help you clean up after the guests leave and any empty food containers will be disposed of for you.
