The calendar is ticking, and you know what that means: the end of the financial year (EOFY) is fast approaching!

For many businesses and organizations, that also means the crucial “use it or lose it” deadline for allocated budgets. Instead of letting those hard-earned funds disappear, why not invest them in something that will boost morale, foster team spirit, or impress your clients?

Think about it. A well-planned gathering with delicious food and drinks can be a game-changer. It’s an opportunity to:

Celebrate Team Successes:

Acknowledge the hard work and achievements of your team with a Hot Buffet Lunch, an afternoon tea of sweet treats and grazing platters, or even cocktail function. It’s a fantastic way to show appreciation and build camaraderie. A catered event breaks up the routine and provides a much-needed opportunity for colleagues to connect outside of their usual work environment. Happy and well-fed employees are often more engaged and productive!

Strengthen Client Relationships:

Impress key clients with a sophisticated catered event. Whether it’s a product launch, a thank-you gathering, or a strategic planning session, delicious food creates a positive and memorable experience.

Smart Budget Utilization:

Instead of last-minute, less impactful expenditures, a catered event offers tangible benefits and creates positive memories. Let us help you maximize your budget.

TCC are reinventing how we cater to fit the new normal that is COVID-19.

New world order

Caterers need to adapt how we offer food and beverages to suit the new restrictions we are all living under. Rules are changing rapidly and TCC are commited to keep up with what’s needed to keep feeding our hungry customers!

July 15th would have marked the lifting of restrictions where gatherings of 100 could take place. Everyone was so excited to have larger gatherings in public spaces. That is, until Victoria’s second wave hit, dumping on everyone’s plans like a frothy breaker at Bell’s Beach!

The lockdown 2.0 is due to end August 20th. However, with the possibility of Dan Andrews implementing Stage 4 restrictions, it’s anyone’s guess if this date will hold.

COVID-19 has hit the food and beverage industries hard. As a result we’ve needed to adapt. Events will look and work differently in the future and that means thinking outside the box. Luckily, that’s something The Catering Company loves to do!

Adapted offerings

For our corporate clients, we’re offering Individual Packs covering breakfast, morning tea and lunch! These are great for social distancing and keeping everyone’s meal separate and COVID-19 “compliant”.

We’re here for you!

To our clients who’d planned weddings, engagements, birthdays and larger corporate functions, we understand your frustration. But please know, The Catering Company events team is still here if you’d like to discuss catering an upcoming party!

So, if you’re planning a function post-second wave, have any out-of-the-box ideas or simply want to discuss how we can adapt to your catering needs, get in touch!

We’re all ears, keen on big ideas and ready to reinvent your event!

In 2019, you are what you eat has never a been truer statement.

And with modern advancements in food science, technology and research we now better understand how food affects our bodies, gut health and even mental health, more than ever before.

Here at The Catering Company Melbourne, we change our menus seasonally and updating an ever-changing menu requires accurate information about ingredients. Recently we have seen our clients requesting more and more individual food labels, mainly due to an increase of dietary, allergen and personal taste requirements.

Luckily, customising menus is what the TCC do best! Many of our regular clients love us to come up with special menus for themed finger food catering, buffet catering, breakfast catering or afternoon tea catering. Once we have all their dietary, allergen and personal preferences, we can then have fun designing the style of the catering services menu to suit their appetite.

Gluten free, Dairy free, Vegan, Fructose friendly, Vegetarian & Nut free – we cater for all these and more! We’ve even added, for one of our long standing customers, fun emojis to their food labels! This gives an easy visual guide for foods that may are higher in carbs, good or bad fats, high in protein, sugar or fibre and of course high in healthy vitamins and minerals.

At the end of the day our body is a temple and what we eat impacts our health. If we wish to maintain the one body we’ve got, we need to listen to it, feed it well and treat it with care. Food is a natural way to do this. Knowing exactly what you’re consuming is vital to keeping a happy and healthy – mind, body and soul.

In recent weeks, our team has been a part of the Australasian Quilt Convention Expo at the Royal Exhibition Building. The quilt show is run by Expertise Events who are market leaders in craft events and this year they celebrated 15 years in doing so.

The Quilt Convention has many components which includes a 4 day conference for 400 quilters who receive 4 day class tuition including morning tea, all day coffee, buffet lunches and gala dinner to celebrate their achievements.

The general public comes in bus loads from Shepparton, Wangaratta and Frankston full of quilters who love their craft, scones and tea. Lots of tea !!

Our catering team for the Quilt Convention consists of many chefs and a huge kitchen team, delivery drivers, event hosts and their waiters, baristers and service staff. This is a large dynamic team, skilled in making it all flow magically.

Our very famous chocolate, almond & raspberry brownie was a hit amongst the Quilters & rumour has it our managing director even got up to sing “Volare” at the gala dinner… We do promise we are ‘catering with character’!
