In a nutshell: Planning a corporate event in Amsterdam—from a conference to a cocktail reception? De Catering Compagnon provides on-site catering tailored to your program and your guests. For groups of 30 or more.
You’re organizing a corporate event: a conference, a product launch, or a networking reception. The food is an important part of the event, because it helps set the mood and influences how your guests rate the event. How do you handle this without it turning into a second job?
Catering for a corporate event is all about coordination. The food should be suited to the type of event and the point in the program. A conference requires a different approach than a festive closing celebration. We’ll work with you to make it happen.
Below, you’ll learn which type of catering suits which type of event, how we tailor the food to your program, and why having a single point of contact provides so much peace of mind.
What type of catering is right for your corporate event?
A conference calls for lunch and coffee breaks that don’t hold up the program. A reception is best paired with finger foods and drinks. A festive closing event is ideal for a buffet where guests can take their time.
For a working lunch during a conference, check out the hot lunch menus available on-site: filling but not heavy, so you can stay focused during the afternoon sessions. For a festive wrap-up, a buffet or barbecue is a better choice.
Would you like to offer your guests something with a distinctly Dutch flavor? An on-site stamppot buffet is a choice that goes over surprisingly well with mixed groups and is perfect for an informal wrap-up.
Food That Fits Your Schedule
Timing is important at a corporate event. Lunch is served when the session takes a break, and the reception begins when the official part of the event ends. We make clear arrangements about this, so that the meals follow your schedule—not the other way around.
How does that work in practice at your venue? We’ll discuss the space, the timing, and the number of attendees in advance. That way, everything runs smoothly and no one has to wait—even at a tightly scheduled conference.
Will anything change during the day? A dedicated contact person is available and familiar with your event, so any changes can be handled quickly without your guests noticing.
All-inclusive service, a single point of contact
We handle the setup, the presentation, and the flow of the event. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact who is familiar with your event. This saves time and prevents misunderstandings, especially for events with multiple components.
We use fresh ingredients and tailor our menu to your guests, including dietary preferences such as vegetarian, vegan, and halal. Are you wrapping up your event with an outdoor barbecue? Check out our barbecue catering options.
Afterward, we’ll clean up. You’ll be left with a successful event and a list of satisfied guests, without having to worry about the logistics yourself.
Here’s how we tailor the catering to your event
Every corporate event has its own pace. That’s why we ask about the program, the number of guests, and the times when meals will be served—from coffee breaks to the closing reception.
Based on that, we’ll put together a proposal tailored to the type of event and your guests. We always take dietary preferences into account as a matter of course, so that everyone can enjoy the meal to the fullest.
On the day of the event, a dedicated point of contact will ensure that everything goes according to plan. You focus on the event; we’ll take care of the food and hospitality.
Fresh ingredients and attention to dietary needs
At a corporate event, your guests pay attention to the details—and the food is one of them. We use fresh ingredients from trusted suppliers to ensure that the catering complements the atmosphere of your event.
We accommodate dietary requests as a matter of course. We incorporate vegetarian, vegan, and halal options, as well as allergy considerations, into our menu, presenting them in a way that’s clearly recognizable to your guests.
That attention to quality and your guests’ preferences ensures that they’ll have positive memories of the event, whether it’s a conference, a product launch, or a networking reception.
