But wait do you really know how to set up a professional buffet. Giving your guests an ultimate dining experience requires a professional buffet. After all, we enjoy our food first from our eyes. And what about social media? Beautiful plating and setup are necessary for a beautiful picture. To please the eyes of your guest and then their appetite, here are some pro tips on setting up a professional buffet.

Mind the Decoration and the Theme of your Buffet

It is necessary to keep in mind the theme or decoration you want to have before you start planning your buffet. If you want your buffet to be modern then you should choose geometrical patterns and vivid colours for the decoration. While doing a traditional buffet, luxurious bronze and gold tones should be used in decoration. Along with it some dim lighting and flower decoration would be perfect. One thing should be kept in mind, not to overdo the decoration. The setup should look decent. Everything should be arranged according to a concept to make it a memorable experience for your guests.

Carefully choose your Buffet Risers and Serving Dishes

The dinner should be well planned to surpass the expectations of your guests. Make sure to purchase modern glass dinnerware of different shapes and sizes. This will grab the attention of your guests and they will prefer it sharing on social media with their friends. This also helps in your free advertising and may generate future customers for you. Creative presentation is what creates awe among the guests. Using different sizes and heights saves space for you and looks more appealing. Play with your dishes, dinnerware and decor to elevate the experience of your guests. Your unique setup will be appreciated by your guests.

Prepare your venue to welcome your guests

When doing the arrangement, one thing should be paid attention that a long table against a wall never allows flawless movement of your guests. Ample space is necessary for their easy movement. The more space your customers have, the more they will enjoy the dining event organized by you. Use different tables for glasses, cutlery and napkins. Make sure the utensils are sufficient for your guests and your waiters keep an eye on any replenishment needs.

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks should be kept in different areas.  It is the best way to keep the drinks away from the food and seating area. A luxury of budget and space is required for such arrangement and significant dining experience of your guests.

Use separate tables for the Food Presentation

Having multi-table setup with different cuisines and different food variety is a good choice. Keep your salads, bread, appetizers, main dishes on different tables of different sizes. Use different stations for multi-themed cuisine like Asian cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine, Vegan, Vegetarian etc. this will allow your guests to pick their choices easily without waiting.

The table with the beverages should be kept next to the kitchen and the table with plates should be kept next to the food. This makes sense. The staff can replenish the drinks on time and the guest should not be wandering around searching for plates. Remember to place explanatory tags in front of the dishes so there is no guesswork to be done by the guests and they will not be misled while searching for the cuisine of their choice.
