Question:

How to set up a buffet table?

Answer:

There is no other type of menu planning that will let a person show off artistic skills better than a buffet table.

Here are some buffet table setting guidelines:

Buffet Room Layout

Be prepared for all situations. Plan the buffet room layout anticipating any possible difficult situation. Available space and room configuration, power, lighting structure, etc.

Buffet Table Setup and Buffet Table Layout

Correct buffet table setup and buffet table layout is critical in achieving a smooth operating buffet. You must consider the functionality of buffet set up equipment/service utensils, arrangement of shapes, sizes, textures, colours, flavours and placement of food to make a profit.

Buffet Display

A buffet table should look lavish and plentiful. There are many ways to create this look.

Buffet Platter Presentation

The cold platter is the mainstay of the buffet and offers the most opportunity for visual artistry. Find out the basic principles of platter presentation.

Buffet service requires the least amount of labor, both kitchen and service. A busy catering operation can increase its flexibility by applying this style of service to one large function while simultaneously serving another party.

For a very low investment, why not reserve your place in our online workshop and understand how labour and food costs are lower = more profit.

I look forward to welcoming you to A La Carte Training and discussing how a buffet table setting offers several advantages to food businesses.

What the experts say…

Experienced and Award-Winning Australian Chefs’ reveal what they wish they knew when starting out in the restaurant and catering industry.

Frank’, Camorra, MoVide, Melbourne…

“Most importantly, I wish I had known more about the business side of running restaurants, I’d recommend doing a small business course that teaches you about managing staff, cashflow, and reading and managing a profit and loss statement. Don’t assume that you can do it all, but you need to have that basic understanding.” (Source: Restaurant Catering Magazine).
