HOLIDAY AND EVENT PLANNING OVERVIEW

Diners expect more options than ever before for private events and parties and holiday offerings from operators. This includes an easy-to-order-from menu that’s promoted far and wide, menu items for every dietary need, dine-in and to-go options and more.

To help you make holiday and special occasion planning easy, we sat down with Food Fanatics® Chef Sylvia Oliveira and Restaurant Operations Consultants (ROCs) Jason Mead, Chad Rickman and Darin Redwine, to find out how to effectively plan, prepare and execute. Their insights landed in these key categories: Building Your Menu, Taking Special Occasion Orders and Training Your Staff. Use the tabs to navigate to each topic, and book a free 1:1 consultation with our ROCs and Chefs here.
