What is the name of the restaurant outside. This is done in one of three ways.

What is catering? The word itself comes from the English "catering", which means catering..

Until quite recently, only representatives of the restaurant business and narrow specialists heard about catering. Now, catering has firmly entered everyday life, has taken its niche in the service sector and has ceased to be such a curiosity.

What is "catering"? The word itself comes from the English "catering", which means catering, banquet service, food delivery. Initially, this word meant a person or group of people delivering food and everything necessary for organizing a banquet at a specific address.

In our realities, it will be easiest and clearest to define catering as an off-site restaurant service , which includes both cooking, and table setting and high-quality work of waiters in any conditions. In the forest, by the river, near a newly completed new facility, on a boat, on the roof of a building, and anywhere you can organize a spectacular banquet, buffet, buffet! And for this, you personally do not need to do anything, take care of anything - absolutely everything, from snacks to napkins, is organized by catering companies.

Among the advantages of catering, it is worth mentioning its mobility. Thanks to this service, you can arrange an absolutely unforgettable, unique and unexpected holiday in the most unexpected place. Things happen in life different situations and in order to always be on top, arrange an ideal corporate party, amaze foreign guests or hold an unusual presentation, you should use the services of catering companies.

In what situations is it appropriate to recall companies providing such services? In such an original way, at an outdoor party in nature, you can celebrate your own birthday or arrange a surprise party for loved ones. At the presentation of a new exhibition, performance or project, it would be appropriate to have a small festive buffet table served right in the gallery or in the foyer of a theater or museum. You can arrange a luxuriously served banquet right in your office, hold a corporate party here with the most gourmet dishes. It would be appropriate to organize offsite banquet after corporate sports competitions, school or college competitions. And skillfully laid tables on the deck of the ship will be an unusual and memorable end to an international symposium, scientific conference or any important meeting.

Perhaps the most daring use of catering is to organize a romantic dinner for two in some romantic, unexpected place. : On top of a hill overlooking the city and surroundings, on a lawn in a park, by the sea, or on top of a building. Just imagine: a perfectly set table with a snow-white tablecloth and sparkling appliances, candles, several musicians nearby play romantic music, strict waiters serve delicious food and drinks! Such a holiday will be a great decoration for a declaration of love, a marriage proposal, an anniversary celebration, etc.

In general, it all depends on your imagination, scope and financial capabilities. Among their services, catering companies offer both the decoration of the premises in which the holiday is held, and the preparation themed holiday with the corresponding menu, and the organization of musical accompaniment.

Of the thousands of catering companies in Moscow, the website team has selected the 10 best for you and we want to clarify right away that all these companies are professionals in their field. The existence of such catering titans is another one for organizing your event in a creative space. Read more about the "chips" of companies in this article.

You will not be able to order a standard banquet from 3F - the company strives to make each event unique. The system is as follows: instead of a menu, 3F group introduces the term "case" - a small atmospheric description of the event. Thus, you first choose the theme or style that suits you best (“Little Italy”, “Chicago”, “Georgian Evening” and so on), and then, together with a specialist, develop an individual menu. This approach requires a lot of involvement in the process, so be prepared to communicate a lot and persistently with the manager.

photo - 3F Group

When using the services of 3F, a banquet will cost you from 2,500 rubles per person, and a buffet table from 1,500 rubles per person. From the interesting: 3F has a service for creating a hookah lounge area and fumillier services: a specialist for tasting cigars.

The Dellos portfolio includes events for Chanel, Dior, Lamborghini, Louis Vietton and many other companies that associate themselves with high-flying fashion events. At the same time, however, does not want to share photos. You won’t see the prices on the site either, which gives reason to believe that they are fabulous.

photo - Dellos

In general, it seems that Dellos wants to create the feeling of a premium catering, high-profile company: one that does not need a website at all, and whose name should speak for itself. Like Rolls-Royce or Rolex. The main emphasis here is not on the menu, but on the faces - chefs, each of whom is ready to cook for your event. This is definitely forte companies - at any time you can go to any of the Maison Dellos restaurants (for example, Cafe Pushkin, Turandot, Orange 3 restaurants) and evaluate the work of the chefs.

Of the interesting services: "chef for an hour" - you can invite one of the chefs from Maison Dellos restaurants to your place, and in specified place he will prepare a meal in any format. No need to worry about ingredients or equipment - the company will take care of everything.

Ad Gustum is very proud (one might even say boastful) of its "cooking show", which involves cooking in the presence of guests or even together with them. So Ad Gustum at the event is more like the main event of the evening than invisible helpful waiters.

The company is set up for exclusive and individual approach to such an extent that the site does not even have photos of dishes - only reports from events. The events look, of course, good, but it would be even better to know at least approximately the pricing policy.

The main focus of this catering, as you might guess from the name, is seafood. The amazingly varied seafood menu includes fish, octopus, oysters, caviar, lobsters, crabs... and a couple of lamb dishes, just in case.

photo - La maree

Another feature of La maree is wine, without which, of course, no fish banquet can do. The wines here are the sea: white, pink, red, sparkling - from Chateau Carbonier 2009 to Chateau Margaux 1995. The prices are not indicated on the site again (this is in trend, apparently), but such a wine list gives reason to believe that the banquet will cost a lot and very cheap.

Figaro's service can be summed up in one word - elegance. Their banquets look neat, tasteful and business-like beautiful, without unnecessary bells and whistles and flashy luxury. Such a professional approach is perfect for events for which the convenience and communication of guests is in the first place, and not a spectacular hall.

Photo - Figaro

Figaro provides services for organizing banquets for up to 10,000 people - the largest number of guests of the companies represented here. This will determine the specifics of the service: a clear and specific menu, a choice of a certain number of dishes. Such a service is ideal for those who do not want to spend a lot of time compiling a menu, but simply want to extra hassle nice and tastefully sit.

Uley creates events where beauty and originality of serving dishes are at the forefront. This campaign is suitable for everyone who loves signature cocktails, which the bartenders effectively knead in front of the public, towers of glasses, high-class floristry, in general, puts the design of the hall in the foreground.

Of the interesting: the unique service of the Hive is the organization of social events, in particular balls. If you've always dreamed of a War and Peace or The Great Gatsby-sized party, then you can only find a similar scale here.

Diamond's strength lies in menu development, professional management and logistics: Diamond doesn't rely so much on the kitchen as it does on organizing the event from scratch. The company is somewhat reminiscent of the 3F group in its desire to create an individual space for each client, but with one difference: they specialize in large events, up to 6,000 people.

Photo - Diamond

Deli believe that the main thing in the event is delicious cuisine. Of all the catering companies, they have the most varied menu, including Japanese cuisine and lenten menus in particular. Deli services are relatively inexpensive: a banquet will cost you from 3,500 rubles per person, and a buffet table from 2,500 rubles per person.

Their services also include the so-called "animation" - demonstration cooking, and making ice figures to order.

Concorde believe that the main thing in the event is beautiful presentation food. They even coined a term for it: food design. The food at the banquet will look like from the cover of a culinary magazine - a composition of large white plates, small portions, artistically poured with sauce. You can order author's figurines made of chocolate and even lobster with artistic painting and gilding.

Photo - Concord

From the interesting: Concorde, the only one of all, has gift certificates. There are certificates for amounts from 5,000 to 25,000 and you can spend them on visiting one of the restaurants, taking a boat trip, a buffet table, or organizing an event.

The strength of Smart is the organization of the event from A to Z. Decoration, branding and floristic design of the event space, music or sports program, organization of a tea ceremony, hookah room, and so on.

Still don't know what catering is? Helpful Hints and educational video. Take charge and develop. Create your business!

I want to start right away with the fact that the dominance of foreign words in Russian and Ukrainian sometimes annoys me, oh how!

Well, I can’t understand why custard cakes are called profiteroles, cupcakes loved since childhood are muffins, a banal review is a digest, and a loved one is a boyfriend.

For the first time I heard such a terrible word about 5 years ago and even then I became interested, what is catering?

P.S. honestly, do you know what kind of miracle this is?

It turned out that this term refers to off-site restaurant service.

Indeed, it turns out to be a bit long, and the word "catering" is so mysterious and beautiful.

Well, I'll give good - let him live!

What is catering?

This term comes from the English word cater - to supply provisions.

The dictionary of foreign words gives the following definition: one of the branches of public catering associated with serving a client on the premises or on the road, as well as serving various events or selling finished culinary products.

As you can see, the concept is quite broad.

Moreover, these dictionaries know how, as always, to twist, God forbid!

If it's easier to explain, what is catering, we see that the sale of buns in the park during the celebration of the city's day has full right be called this newfangled word, just like the catering company feeding guests during a wedding at your home.

“Whatever you come up with, there will always be someone who has already done it before you. So the main thing is to make it better!”
Adriano Celentano.

Well, for example, how are your corporate parties at work?

The most popular ways to celebrate a holiday with the team are either to go to a restaurant or sit in the office. With the first method, everything is clear.

How are you preparing for the second one?

We are like this: first, we are looking for people who want to take responsibility for a long and tedious time.

When the victims are found, they begin to collect money, listening to complaints along the way: “Why is it so expensive? Last year they collected 50 hryvnias, but why this year 55 hryvnias?” 🙂 etc.

On the day of the feast, the victims go out to buy food.

During the purchase, it turns out that something or some products from the list are not available.

Then the unfortunates drag everything to the office, and everyone who is more or less free is taken to cutting.

After all this mess, the mood of many is not particularly festive!

And everything could be done much easier and much more beautiful - order a catering company that would come to our office with ready meals, crockery and polite waiters in uniform.

For the specified amount, we would have received a real holiday.

I hope that maybe someday I will be able to persuade my thrifty colleagues to do this!

What is catering: the origin and development of the industry

The first catering services arose, of course, in the West, where they have been very popular to this day for more than half a century.

This newfangled business came to the countries of the post-Soviet space in the dashing 1990s, but it began to be in demand no more than 5 years ago.

In the US and European countries, this market is growing by 10-15% annually, it employs manufacturers of textiles, dishes, furniture and other things, but it is difficult to talk about any growth in Russia or Ukraine.

In general, not so long ago we began to understand what is catering…

In addition, not all domestic companies provide quality services.

I remember once at a presentation I witnessed the work of a catering company, which amused me a lot: sweets, blackened apples, crookedly cut bananas on plastic plates and waiters who had to help open champagne.

Although the organizers themselves are to blame: good things cannot be cheap, here's the proverb just in time: "Cheap fish - bad fish soup" - was invented a long time ago.

What is catering and what services does it provide?

The main task of any catering company is to feed the client deliciously.

But to do this job, you only need the services of a cook.

And who then will be engaged in the delivery of products, treating guests with ready-made meals and drinks?

The owners themselves?

Then it’s easier to order everything in a restaurant than to hire a personal chef for a lot of money.

The functions of a catering company are much wider. She is engaged in:

• compiling a menu that is consistent with the customer;
• purchasing products;
• preparation or delivery of ready meals;
• table setting;
• presence required amount service personnel: cook, bartender, waiters, administrator, hostess, etc.;
• cleaning up after themselves after the holiday and many others.

In addition, you no longer need to take care of furniture, dishes, tablecloths, table decorations and more.

The catering company brings all this with them and, as it were, rents it out to you.

Large field service companies cooperate with animators, musicians, presenters, artists, florists, designers, therefore, by asking to organize, for example, a celebration of the tenth anniversary of your store, you will receive a full-fledged celebration.

Most importantly, do not forget to set aside more money, because the pleasure is oh so expensive!

And in order to visually see how and where catering is organized -

watch this video!

... you never know, maybe one of you will have a desire

start a small catering company!

What is catering and how does it feed customers?

I think there is no need to explain that the wealth of the table depends solely on your financial capabilities.

In fact, the specialists of these companies can cook anything from the most rare products, the main thing is that the client can pay for it.

Also, the choice of menu depends on the celebration itself.

Corporate events and presentations do without hot meals.

Most often, guests are prepared:

• various sandwiches and canapes;
• salads and other types of snacks;
• Dessert.

If this is a buffet, then all dishes should be convenient to eat.

It’s stupid to serve steaks - you can’t cut it on weight, and there are stains from sauces evening dresses do not paint.

For an offsite business lunch, they can bring a lunch already packed in portions (the most common option is meat or fish with a side dish, salad, dessert and a soft drink).

P.S. moreover, the services of a catering company can be reduced to simply preparing and bringing food, which will then be distributed by office secretaries.

Weddings or birthdays can be served as in a regular restaurant, that is, guests sit either at one common table or at separate small ones, and the waiters serve them dishes.

Here you can already serve any hot dishes and even soups.

I think you can fully understand what is catering.

In my opinion, this is a very necessary and useful invention.

Thanks to such companies, you can organize a celebration even at home, even on the banks of the river.

As they say, any tasty whim for your money.

History of catering

The catering industry emerged in the early 20th century in America to provide food for workers during the mass construction of skyscrapers. The idea quickly spread to catering for office workers in large companies USA and Europe in order to save employees' working time.

Now the leaders of the catering industry in the world are the British corporation "Compass Group" and the French international company Sodexo. Compass Group provides VIP catering services around the world, and also provides catering at airports and social catering (in 23 armies of the world). Sodexo has about 380 thousand employees who work in 34 thousand branches in 80 countries and serve industrial enterprises, medical, educational establishments, remote objects, correctional facilities and nursing homes.

Benefits of catering

The main advantage of catering – in quality food and service at the highest level. The times of amateurism, when employees themselves wrote scripts for corporate holiday and they themselves prepared sandwiches, they gradually leave. Making way for professionals. And it is right. It's time to learn to think not about saving money and not about organizing a holiday on your own, but about the holiday itself and about relaxing on it.

Another important advantage of catering is that the client can choose any place for the celebration. The advantage is in the absolute freedom to choose a place for an event, a scenario and a menu for an offsite buffet.

• The requirements for food in modern people are growing from year to year. They want to eat not only beautiful, but also healthy food.
• The food delivery niche is less than 20% filled and far from oversaturation.

How to start a catering business?

There are standard 2 options - start your own business own or franchised(). As you know, both options have pros and cons.

The main disadvantage of the franchise in more than high costs. But an important plus is that franchised businesses are much less likely to go bankrupt than self-created businesses.

Features of working in the catering business

It should be noted right away that with external simplicity, catering is not at all a simple business. In fact, catering is not only the preparation of food and its delivery. This includes serving, decorating the hall, serving and other services. And since the service at the event must be impeccable, you need to think through everything, even the most insignificant details and trifles.

What is included in catering services:

• preliminary departure to the premises chosen by the client or assistance to the client in finding premises,
• it is possible to deliver banquet furniture, umbrellas, arches, tent structures, heat guns and curtains, street lamps for heating,

How to work with a customer?

It is important to clarify with the customer who contacted the catering company all the information about the event, idea, theme of the holiday, menu, estimated budget, venue, date, time, number of guests.

Then the catering company must develop a plan and agree it with the customer. The plan includes a menu, a detailed holiday schedule, a list of furniture, utensils and other equipment, the number of attendants, details of lighting and design of the room, table settings, etc.

From this video you will see from the inside how business catering works:

Types of catering

We are talking about large premises - banquet halls, cottages, villas, castles, which can accommodate from several hundred to several thousand people during events. The main advantage of this type of catering is that these premises have kitchens for cooking and storing food, there are refrigeration units, all necessary furniture, crockery and equipment. In this regard, money and time are saved for their delivery and installation.

Summary

I think that in the article you received not only the answer to the question "Catering services, catering - what is it?". But they also learned about catering as another with attachments. IN modern world people who are busy at work from morning to evening have no time to cook food. Plus, many of them want not only to feed their beloved children at home, but to make sure that it is a healthy diet.
