What does it Take to Prepare for an Event?


Our team is dedicated to making event execution seamless. That's why Ferah Catering's team stars preparing for events weeks in advance.


Two Weeks Before the Event: Our team participates in a weekly meeting that outlines the upcoming two week’s worth of events. From there we plan out what inventory they can use and what still needs to be ordered. After the menus and inventory planning are complete, our leadership team composes the schedule and coordination of transportation.

 

The Week of the Event: Our culinary team's prep lists are crafted and the food preparation begins a few days out! Simultaneously, our operations team is meeting about event execution details and creating a custom checklist for each event. Working their way down the checklist, they stage, stock, and organize the catering vans according to the event order details.


Day of the Event: Our team does one final check that all food, beverage, and catering supplies are packed into the catering vans and leaves our commercial catering kitchen for each scheduled events. Our catering leadership leads a team meeting, assigning responsibility to our staff, casting vision, and preparing to wow your guests with an amazing culinary experience!



 

In conclusion, a day in the life of a Texas caterer, especially at Ferah Catering and Events, is a seamless blend of creativity, culinary precision, and exceptional service.
