Confirm all details with the client 48 hours before. Create the prep schedule working backwards from event time. Pack equipment the day before. Brief event staff on the menu, timeline, and their individual roles.
A pre-event preparation checklist for restaurant managers and chefs coordinating off-site or on-site catering events. Covers final menu and quantity confirmation with the client, kitchen prep scheduling, equipment and supplies packing list, dietary requirement and allergen tracking, transport logistics, staff assignments, and the timeline that coordinates kitchen production with event service.
Catering events from a restaurant kitchen add revenue but also add complexity — the regular menu service must continue while event food is produced simultaneously. Forgetting one tray of canapés, one set of serving tongs, or one dietary requirement can embarrass the restaurant at the moment it's trying to impress a new audience.
