Catering service is a must for every event or party. With nice food, you can be sure to keep your guests happy and make the event a memorable one. When it comes to catering, there are 2 types of services that can make your guests happy: a buffet or a sit-down meal with servers. There are pros and cons for each type but with the right one that fits your event, you can be sure that your guests will enjoy it.



One key advantage of having a sit down meal for your guests is that they will be happy because they would not have to stand up and queue for food or drinks. There will be servers around to serve the food to them. Having servers in an event also perceived as a more classy way of catering. However, to have servers for a sit down meal, the cost will usually be slightly higher. This is especially true if you are inviting a large number of guests to your event as you will have to pay for more servers. Nonetheless, an event with server looks more glam and is a plus-point for your corporate branding.

Having a buffet for your event also has its own advantages. For a buffet meal, your guests can choose what they want to eat from the buffet table. This will give them freedom of choice and make them happy during the event. On top of this, your guests can also determine the quantity of food they will like to consume which helps to prevent food wastage. For a buffet catering, the cost is definitely lower than having servers. So if your budget is tight for the event, you can seriously consider having a buffet catering. One disadvantage of buffet catering is that the most popular food would most likely run out before everyone has the chance to have them.

When looking for catering service, you need to decide on whether you would like to have servers or a buffet catering for your event. You can also ask your food caterer for recommendation as a good caterer can usually help you make the choice with sound advice and experience. No matter what you choose, both types of catering services can definitely make your guest happy during your event.

Last but not least, make sure you brief your caterer on all the necessary details prior to the actual event. This is to reduce any misunderstanding that will cause the event to go haywire.
