Six Secrets to Building a Successful Holiday Buffet
Thinking about offering a buffet this holiday season? Temporary buffets are a time-tested way to maximize revenues and keep customers happy during the hectic holiday season. The right setup eases pressure on the kitchen while enabling waitstaff to accommodate larger groups and turn tables faster.
With these simple ideas and your own creative touch, you can transform ordinary skirted tables into a spectacular holiday buffet.
1. Elevate your display and watch your menu shine.
2. Enhance and protect cold buffet items.
The elegantly shiny Remington Collection is perfect for the holidays while looking great all year long. The double-wall stainless steel construction keeps contents chilled a little longer than single-walled vessels, making these round bowls ideal for buffet and catering jobs, serving salads, sides, and more.
Add casual elegance to your holiday buffet or family-style serving presentation with the crisp, white Sierra Collection from TableCraft. Each melamine piece is made to withstand daily use, is lightweight, dishwasher safe, and break-resistant.
Use together for a classic, all-white presentation or pair with coordinating dinnerware for a custom look. Available in a wide array of sizes, these oval and round bowls and platters are perfect for serving pasta, fresh fruit, salads, and more.
3. Safeguard your feast.
4. Create a cooked-to-order station.
Perfect for customer favorites like made-to-order omelets and pastas, the Hatco Rapide Cuisine® Countertop Induction Range has a contemporary, low-profile design that’s built to handle the demands of commercial foodservice use. Its Magnetic Power System delivers the highest power in its class.
5. Highlight and protect hot menu items.
The Hatco Round Decorative Carving Station creates an attractive and functional carving display while providing proper food serving temperatures with a telescoping heated lamp and a heated simulated stone base.
Posts and lampshade are available
in Plated finishes Bright Nickel (standard), Bright Brass, and Antique Bronze. The
heated base is available in all simulated stone colors (standard Night Sky) to
match your décor.
TableCraft stainless steel Quick View Chafers have soft-close lids for quiet opening and closing and windowed domes that allow guests to see contents prior to opening the chafer. Lids also include safety features for staff to remove and replace food pan inserts easily and safely without risk of steam burns.
6. Be prepared to replenish.
Last but not least, it’s important to have reliable holding equipment that keeps pans of prepared food hot, fresh, and ready to replenish your busy buffet.
