Idées essentielles pour garder les présentoirs de nourriture propres et stériles

4 Key Food and Beverage Catering Display Practices That Support Success 

Hotels, resorts, and convention centers rely on catering as a pillar of their service offerings. While hospitality businesses with catering options tend to earn their reputation on food quality, presentation, and level of service, cleanliness and food safety are just as important. 

These four buffet table food display ideas will help you keep catering environments clean and your business’s reputation pristine.

1. Use Linenless Food Display Tables and Easy-to-Clean Materials

Stone, wood, laminate, and metal looks are trending. Not only do these materials provide attractive options for linenless tables, but they are also easy to clean and disinfect. Using tables crafted from one of these trending materials lets you avoid the hassle of dealing with linens while providing a cleaner more contemporary look for sophisticated guests.

Ces matériaux naturels peuvent être transportés dans toute votre propriété. Beau buffets peut être garni de plats de service en aluminium martelé et de plateaux en bois. La combinaison de différents matériaux naturels signifie que vous n'avez pas besoin d'assortir chaque meuble et que vous pouvez toujours obtenir un aspect cohérent qui permet aux aliments de briller.

If minimizing the spread of germs is paramount for an event, providing pre-packaged foods and beverages is the best option. This service method prevents the transfer of germs from guest to guest on serving spoon handles and chafers. 

Conseil supplémentaire

Because of their ability to hold germs, linens are not the most sanitary option for dining rooms. Instead, purchase linenless tables that have a seamless tabletop. This will provide a surface that is easier to clean with nowhere for germs to hide.

2. Provide Safe Solutions

En plus d’utiliser des tables sans linge et des options d’aliments préemballés, assurez-vous que la présentation de vos aliments met en valeur votre engagement en faveur de la sécurité. Inclure Boucliers de protection sur les comptoirs pour séparer les employés et les invités. Placez-les également stratégiquement sur les tables de la salle à manger. En utilisant Cloisons entre les tables et les postes de travail est également une bonne solution.

In times of high germ spread like during cold or flu season, think about how to provide room for social distancing. Providing tables with integrated power is one way to do this, and guests often appreciate the easy access to an outlet.

3. Provide a Local Experience

For years, tourists and travelers have craved local experiences. This was true among those traveling for both business and pleasure. This desire is no less true today. Loading up your food table displays with local options allows your guests to get a taste of the area. 

Properties can partner with nearby establishments to create unique offerings with a local flair. From beverage offerings to pastries, there are many options that will improve the guest experience while supporting local businesses.

4. Support Sustainability

Increasingly, customers are concerned with environmental issues, and they want to support businesses that are behaving with similar concern for the environment. For this reason, sustainability has been one of the most noticeable food & beverage trends in recent times.

Les exemples vont de la promotion d’options végétariennes et végétaliennes à l’utilisation d’ampoules intelligentes et de chauffage intelligent pour économiser de l’énergie. On a également constaté une utilisation accrue de matériaux plus durables pour des produits tels que les serviettes et les assiettes.

Obviously, the uptick in prepacked foods is a challenge for sustainability. Having a robust recycling program complete with educational signage can counteract the impact. This can also be incorporated into your nature-focused display practices as discussed in tip number one.
