Advantages of CATERING items

Quick inventory check — CATERING canteen cutlery is easy to count and arrange after a catering event; steel items do not crack like plastic alternatives. Washing in field conditions — CATERING canteen cutlery can be washed in dishwashers or by hand in hot water.
Catering quantity planning
Ordering CATERING canteen cutlery for large events requires careful quantity planning. Event size — the quantity of each CATERING canteen cutlery item equals the number of guests multiplied by the number of courses per service; a 3-course dinner for 200 guests — 200 units minimum per item type. Buffet format — more CATERING canteen cutlery is needed for buffets than calculated; guests often take a new item for each course. Spare set — a recommended additional reserve of 20–25%; compensates for wear and situations where an item is dropped or forgotten. Transport packaging — when ordering CATERING canteen cutlery, appropriate transport containers must be provided; stainless steel items must be packed to avoid scratches. See also Canteen Cutlery BAR.
Hygiene and washing
Regular washing of CATERING canteen cutlery is mandatory for catering businesses to comply with HACCP. Post-event washing — CATERING canteen cutlery must be washed immediately after each event in a dishwasher or by hand; food residues left on items promote bacterial growth. HACCP protocol — each washing cycle for CATERING canteen cutlery must be recorded in the catering business’s HACCP monitoring system; food safety is a priority in event catering. Well-dried items — CATERING canteen cutlery must be completely dried before storage; damp storage promotes water spots and discolouration. See also Canteen Cutlery.
