The Catering Industry Evolution
We are living in the Digital Age and as everything has been evolving, the catering industry is no exception. The farm to table trend is influencing the world of catering and providers have taken notice. The past decade has seen a major shift in the catering industry to locally and companies should take note if they want to survive the competition.
Cuisine
Consumers are now asking for food that’s fresh, organic, sustainably-grown and locally-sourced. More and more often food needs to be prepared gluten-free or dairy free. We're always searching for the tastiest recipes to suit our client's changing dietary needs.
Taste is not the only consideration these days, food must be nutritious and still offer great flavor. Quality ingredients and skilled cooking methods for large scale preparation is no joke. The good news is that our company has evolved with the times. We get fresh produce from local sources which makes it more responsible than having to purchase older produce from sources outside of Michigan. Consumers these days are armed with more knowledge now with so many answers from Google just a type and click away. Many are great cooks and foodies themselves so the bar for coming up with excellent products and services in the catering business is set high. Food preparation and presentation is also another arena where the competition is cut-throat. Cooking has been a hobby for many people which is why cooking stations and demos will always be popular at any sized event. A lot of catering companies will try to offer something unique to make them a cut above the rest. In our company, we produce fresh ingredients like handcrafted pasta for our Italian menus.

Trends
Wedding couples are now demanding more than tasty bites from their caterer. They are looking for catering services that can offer cuisine that showcases their culture and heritage. When a couple comes from two different cultures, the request will be a menu that represents both ethnicities.
Creative food stations are now the trend as compared to the buffet setups in the past. Retro trends and modern minimalist themes are in demand at the moment. Color schemes change depending on yearly trends but there has been a steady request for coppers, grays and organic linens. Seating styles are now going toward the farmhouse style seating which gives the atmosphere of family-style dining. Food stations have guests mingle without any formal seating. We keep abreast of the latest trends in the business by continuous collaboration with local experts in food service, watching cooking shows, Youtube cooking videos and keep track of social media posts on catering and events. Vegans and vegetarians can now enjoy meals as caterers follow a certain food regimen that caters to people with dietary restrictions or preferences. For outdoor events, food trucks are trending among parents and their kids. |

Green Catering and Local Support
We support environmental-friendly practices in business as we source our products locally, we have also added these practices in our catering business:
- We avoid using single-use plastics and disposables during our events. When clients require us to do so, we only use biodegradable cups, plates and cutlery.
- We source directly from local producers whenever there is an opportunity. Buying direct makes sure that income goes into the hands of the producers, farmers and artisans themselves and not middlemen. This helps build small businesses and is a great strategy in building our local economy.
- Our electric power is sourced from renewable wind and solar energy.
- Our organic waste is turned into compost and our fryer oil is recycled and turned into biodiesel.
- Our staff carpools to events to save on fuel costs. Go on an adventure with us as we take you to an amazing experience for your weddings, family gatherings, birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, and galas. We are here to provide the best catering services for you.
