Are services important in the catering industry?

 

If you have been reading online, you would have seen some horrifying experience by your friends or family members about buffet catering and the sort of experience they have been getting with different caterers. Like any other service, bad service and experiences are bound to have. However, food is more than just service. It also concerns our safety as food safety is indeed a serious topic. Food poisoning can be lethal in some cases and hygiene is highly emphasised in Singapore.

Here are some of the usual negative experience you might have seen or witness when it comes to buffet catering –

Inadequate food

While this is not really a serious problem, things could still go messy. They often say a hungry man is an angry man. While you may have indicated the number of pax when ordering, the amount of food still comes short. The gross miscalculation of buffet caterers may seem like a small matter but when it comes to hosting a party for your guests, the shortage of food can be very embarrassing.

Unexpected food quality

When pictures come with a fine print that states “Pictures for illustration”, you know it is going to be a red flag. Pictures are what that is going to help us make decisions sometimes. Unless you have personally tried the food before you order, you are more likely to depend on your imagination to test out the food. Pictures can also provide some form of assurance when you are worried about the food quality. However, in some cases, the food may turn up differently on an actual day. Ever experience food that turned cold or dry even before the event has started?

Late delivery

Late buffet delivery is usually an unforgivable mistake. In Singapore where our roads are often clear and smooth, any late deliveries would usually be caused by poor planning over at the caterer side. Most of the events that requests for buffet caterings are usually time-sensitive events. Any late delivery could easily cause a disturbance in the event especially if it is already underway.
