Winter corporate parties. What? Where? When?

The seasons and their alternate changes affect the theme of events, styles and venue.

Summer is the time for weddings, out of town Birthday рarties, team building and family outings.

Autumn is a business season, a time for conferences, meetings, lectures and educational events. But experienced HR managers have been preparing for the hot season of winter corporate parties since mid-October. The organization of a good holiday requires a long and advance preparation. Starting with the request: “where to spend a corporate party for the New Year?” to the approval of the menu and decor a lot of time passes.

Therefore, sooner you begin to search and plan, then better, more interesting and easier the corporate holiday will be.

Where to start preparing?

1. Choice of concept. Choosing a program and theme of event, you will understand the main task (to entertain, thank, praise, take stock of the year) and the goal (to entertain, introduce, improve communication within the team, increase employee loyalty).

Each company has its own cultural code, which determines the traditional format of the event and the venue: office, restaurant, suburban complex. New Year’s corporate party is a large-scale event for all employees, therefore, even starting from the interests of the majority make sure that the classic program includes a new type of entertainment, design or creative script for the New Year’s corporate party. It is important to surprise colleagues, engage them in communication and let them relax and have fun.

2. Budget planning. The main pricing articles for organizing the New Year’s holiday are location, menus and catering. The number of guests at a corporate holiday determines the total cost of funds.

It is clear that a corporate party for 500 guests will be more expensive and require a larger number of staff, dishes, decorative and technical solutions (photo-zones, entertainment, competitions, presenter or animators).

3. The choice of a catering company and functionality.

In the process of choosing catering it is extremely important to pay attention to the company’s reputation in the professional field, the correspondence of their capabilities and your needs and what a particular company offers (only food delivery, concept development, staff, location, entertainment).

A detailed study of the proposals will allow you to choose the best option for you and spend the holiday at a high level.

The 16^th Yalta European Strategy (YES) Annual Meeting “Happiness Now. New Approaches for a World in Crisis” had been held on September 12-14, 2019 in Kyiv. Over 400 leading politicians, diplomats, businessmen, civil activists and experts from 26 countries took part in the conference organized by Yalta European Strategy in partnership with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.

Ambitious world-leading decision-makers, opinion-leaders, business people , opinion leaders, young leaders and volunteers spent time with benefit, discussing changes in Ukraine and the world, as well as ways of further development and the near future of Ukraine. All the attention of national and foreign media was riveted to the meeting, a high level of concentration of honored guests, dozens of interviews and live broadcasts from the scene. Of particular interest were the invited secret-guests – Hollywood actresses Mila Kunis and Robin Wright, as well as actor and film director Ashton Kutcher.

La Famiglia Catering was lucky to become part of a large-scale event. The conference lasted three days and provided a comprehensive service for all guests including coffee breaks between sessions, festive lunch with individual serving, buffet table and a final festive dinner with individual serving.

At the location were 3 fully functioned zones:

1 – open space for tea and coffee breaks with desserts,

2 – open terrace

3 – hall for special events.

The type of the event and the guests-status determined the style – exquisitely official. The executive chef La Famiglia Catering, Bogdan Reminsky, developed a special menu for each day of the event. We paid special attention to vegetarian and vegan dishes.

The grandiose event required thorough preliminary preparation, where every detail matters, strict clear rules and time limits. Over a hundred La Famiglia Catering professionals worked at the location, where everyone carried out his mission. Catering is an inconspicuous but very important service that requires speed, accuracy and high quality throughout. All this tempers and incredibly motivates each of us to new achievements.

Business-season

Each season has its own charm, weather and mood. There is a certain cyclical nature of events in the world of catering.

In the fall, the business season begins – time for actions, new projects, conferences, official events and presentations. Each of these events has strict regulations, an integral part of which are short coffee breaks. Coffee break is a short break format (15-30 minutes). During which participants and guests can relax, have coffee, chat with colleagues. It should be said that such a tradition familiar to us has been over 80 years old. Of course, during this time, much has changed and the format of the meeting has acquired classical standards.

Almost all of us were participants in such breaks. What should customers pay attention to and how to choose the best service among many?

We hope that this La Famiglia Catering digest will be interesting and useful for you.

• Coffee-break, despite the ambiguity of the wording, provides for the supply of tea, pastries, desserts, snacks and soft drinks.
• Regardless of the number of guests, the break lasts up to 40 minutes maximum. For mass events that take place during the day, it is recommended to choose 2-3 breaks.
• Another life-hack – select several locations for coffee breaks. It can be a hall and an open terrace, so that participants can breathe air or answer phone calls without interfering with each other. If the space is limited, and the number of participants is not more than 10, then you can organize a drink in the room where a lecture or discussion takes place.
•  The menu and presentation depend on the audience of the participants, wishes and budget of the customer.

The first coffee break, the so-called welcome-coffee, includes hot drinks, fresh pastries, cookies and sweets. If the event includes more than two coffee breaks, then you should diversify the menu. Options can be different: kish-loren, bagels, croissants with sweet and salty fillings. The choice of desserts and snacks should be approached responsibly: take into account the format of the event, the time, age and gender of the guests, do not forget about the vegetarian and diet menus, and sometimes even the religion of the guests should be taken into account.

Benefits of catering

Life is constantly accelerating. Every day requires new accomplishments, solutions of many problems and everything has to be done on time. No wonder that new times require innovative cases.

La Famiglia Catering provides the perfect catering service nowadays. Increasingly clients are abandoning the classic formats of events. Events are transformed. And we are always ready to exceed your expectations and arrange:

• coffee break
• buffet table
• banquet
• cocktail party
• business meeting
• business lunch
• conference
• buffet
• corporate events
• picnic
• party with bar and BBQ
• conferences and meetings with a healthy menu
• private events
• kids party
• Birthday party
• Weddings

And that’s not all. Some activities combine several options for holding, menu and service variations.

The market certainly requires flexible, mobile and dynamic offers. Catering meets all three conditions.

The main advantage of catering service is that it’s possible to hold an event for any number of guests at a certain location and in the form that suits the client. This is the main benefit.

Catering takes into account the needs of the customer and adapts to them. In the case of a restaurant you have format, location, design and menu. Not a step aside.

The second key to success is outdoor activities. No restrictions on space or places for guests. The variety of locations and trends of this or that holiday make each event unique. Professional catering companies take into account a lot of nuances when conducting any event, be it weather changes, children’s menu, conditions for serving dishes at the request of the client. And such companies can provide useful tips that will save you money, time and effort.

The third important aspect is the menu. La Famiglia Catering offers a high-quality, creative and delicious restaurant-level menu, developed on the experience of 12 legendary Kiev restaurants. In general catering is a restaurant that itself comes to you and your guests. And all this on time, quickly and with perfect mood!

It’s possible to list the differences between catering service and the restaurant for a long time, but it’s better to try and have your own conclusion. We are ready to answer additional questions and share our experience. La Famiglia Catering ideal service is the strongest argument. We are happy for your holidays!
