What is Drop Off Catering?

When thinking about drop-off catering, it is more about the fact that the caterer is expected to prepare food and deliver it in good time to your client. As long the caterer provides the specified food at the right time, everything is great.

Drop-off catering differs from full-service catering in several ways. In full-service, you shoulder all the responsibilities, from preparing the food and serving it to clearing the venue of utensils, remnants, and related dirt.

What are the Host’s Responsibilities?

The host ensures guests are served with drop-off catering, the venue is cleared afterward, and the utensils are washed. Then, as the caterer, you drop the food and move on from there. If there is anything we help with, it is probably laying out the food in buffet form if necessary.

Often, because drop-off catering is requested for casual and small events, attendants serve themselves as they arrive or at leisure. This means the host has a further responsibility to maintain the food hot and hygienic for the guests who arrive late.

In short, if you pay for drop-off catering, you have a bit of work to do. If you want to offload the catering headache, go for full-service catering.

If you have further questions on drop-off catering and want to see how we differ and fit into your event planning process and foodservice needs, simply reach out to us at Corky’s Catering today. Our catering services can span buffet-style options to other styles.
