It’s time to party, people! And what’s a party without food? But we’re not talking just any food; we’re talking about preparing an international spread for an around-the-world company party, one that will make your colleagues have the best celebration ever! We prepared some tips for when you plan on having one. Keep reading!

Choose a Theme

Think about the vibe you want to create for your party. Are you looking for something classy or casual? Do you want to take your guests on a world tour or stick to a particular continent? Once you’ve picked your theme, the rest of your party planning will fall into place like perfectly seasoned pieces of sushi.

The best part about having a theme is being able to match your menu to it. Think different countries’ ways of cooking seafood for an under-the-sea bash, or globally-inspired Filipino food for an Araw ng Kagitingan celebration. Otherwise, you can also opt for serving the well-known or iconic dishes of various cultures.

Plan Your Menu

Ah, the most crucial step of all – planning the menu! But don’t fret, my friend. We’ve got this!

To create an international spread, think about dishes from different cultures. As we said above, the easiest way to prepare a global menu is to opt for famous dishes that people already know and love—just don’t forget to mix and match flavors for variety.

Bonus tip: don’t forget to include some vegetarian and vegan options for those who need them. After all, everyone deserves a seat at the table.

If you’re in need of catering inspiration or want to simplify the planning process, our party tray menu is definitely worth browsing. Plus, our easy ordering system can provide the best food for your office party. We offer different cuisines from local and international foods that everyone will enjoy!

Have an Appetizer

Have an Appetizer

First impressions are everything, especially when it comes to food! So why not start your company party off on the right foot with some finger-licking-good appetizers that’ll have your guests drooling from the get-go?

What about some Calamares? These crispy, delicious squid rings hail from Spanish and Mediterranean cuisines, serving as perfect starters to whet the appetite.

Another option is our Mojos with gravy. This is also available in tartar sauce, the perfect way to kick off your feast and get those taste buds dancing. Trust us, your guests will be craving these appetizers even after the party’s over!

Set up a Buffet

Set Up a Buffet

Now that your guests have had their starters, it’s time to let loose your delicious buffet spread! And we have some mouth-watering options for you.

Imagine your guests indulging in tender Beef Salpicao, flavorful Chicken Cordon Bleu, crispy Lechon Kawali, and succulent Breaded Fish Fillet with Tartar Sauce. Plus, a Seafood Pasta with White Sauce that’ll cleanse the palate and neutralize stronger flavors. Now that deserves a chef’s kiss!

When it comes to presentation, our white trays look beautiful as is laid out on the table, but feel free to transfer the food to a pan or chafing dish to make it look even more fancy and appealing. Then, get ready to impress your guests with this delectable international spread!

Consider Dietary Restrictions

Consider Dietary Restrictions

Catering to your guests’ dietary restrictions shows that you care about their needs and that you’re committed to creating an inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s especially important in the workplace, where people with all kinds of diets collect.

Luckily, there are some delicious options out there that everyone will love, like our mouth-watering Vegetable Parmigiana! This vegetarian dish features layers of fresh vegetables, marinara sauce, and melted cheese that will satisfy even the pickiest guests that you may have.

Decorate the Space

Now, to add extra flair and give your guests the best experience, let’s add to your party venue with some decor! Whether you’re going for a cozy and intimate vibe or a full-blown extravaganza, adding some choice details will take your party to the next level. Think tablecloths, centerpieces, and twinkling fairy lights. If you’ve got some extra budget, throw in a photo wall for some memorabilia and fun!

Provide a Satisfying Dessert

Provide a Satisfying Dessert

We know you want to end your company party on a high note, and there’s no better way to do that than with a dessert! So why not take it up a notch and serve something truly special, like our refreshing Buko Pandan or heavenly Mango Crepe? Your guests will be blown away by these sweet, flavorful treats that perfectly balance creaminess with fruity goodness.

Encourage Guests to Share

The party may be over, but the culinary conversation doesn’t have to stop. Encourage your guests to share their favorite cultural dishes and recipes. This will create a sense of community and promote culinary diversity, which is always a win in our books!
