Corporate Catering: Boost Business Relationships with a Healthy Cooking Seminar
Posted by Amelia K. on Friday, January 2nd, 2015 with 6 Comments
When you’re building business relationships, be they new or old, not everything on your agenda can be company related. After all, using your best networking skills to retain clients and grow relationships means developing a bit of a friendship that goes hand-in-hand with your working relationship. And if there’s one thing that clients really appreciate, it’s fun business outings or events that go beyond the ordinary. If you’ve been searching for something to really wow your clients this year, tickets to a baseball game just aren’t going to cut it. Instead, try hosting a healthy cooking seminar at your office to create a fun and engaging business event your clients will be talking about for months to come!

Get the Food
There’s one big thing that many business relationships are based around: really good food. Think about how many times you meet a prospective client for coffee, grab lunch with a colleague, or go to a sit down dinner with a client. Not only that, but these days, people are becoming more and more conscious of their health and the foods they eat on a daily basis. This makes a quick lunch-and-learn that’s focused on a non-work topic the perfect fit for your next business event. And bringing a healthy cooking seminar to the board room doesn’t have to be something that’s difficult, especially when Waiter.com can help you easily set up a delicious, catered lunch that your clients will love in one of your conference rooms. Choosing healthy options is one of our specialties, so we can take you through some yummy courses that aren’t just packed with nutrients, but with flavor, too.
Expert Chefs
Like you, your clients are incredibly busy, which means they’re probably looking for easy ways to cook healthy meals outside the office, too. Bringing an expert to your lunch to talk through exactly how to make each dish you’re serving is the perfect way to bring something new and exciting to your next business meeting. The key is to serve meals that are quick and easy to make at home, especially on a weeknight. Discussing how to make certain things in advance, like quick homemade dressings, grilled meats for salads, and the like can be fun, valuable information to discuss as well! No matter what the subject is, your clients will be wowed by the overall presentation and will have fun trying all of the tasty menu items for themselves.
Don’t Forget a Corporate Catering Takeaway Item
As you’re preparing for your big event, don’t forget to prep a nice takeaway for your clients. Having small recipe cards with all of the meals you have prepared will let them really use the information they learn at home. Plus, since it’s a smaller item to send home with everyone, you can make sure that it’s beautifully designed and well-branded with your company information, which will help to keep your services front of mind, even when your clients aren’t typically thinking about work!
