The job of Caterer and Reception Organizer

The Caterer/Reception Organizer designs, produces, delivers, sets up and serves meals and buffets for private individuals and companies at various events and receptions.
He or she is responsible for professional, private and public receptions: conventions, trade shows, weddings, anniversaries, cultural and sporting events… More than a chef, he or she organizes and supervises the service, and coordinates the staff. A true one-man band, he ensures quality of service and customer satisfaction.

What is a reception caterer?

The caterer who organizes receptions has the shoulders of a true conductor. He must respond to each customer’s needs with an answer adapted to the circumstances, including the location, organization, preparation and set-up of the reception. He can also take charge of other elements: theme selection, menu ideas and implementation, service organization, table decoration, music, etc.

The caterer must prepare a variety of hot and cold meals, depending on the type of event, and must do so often in advance for his customers. He buys all the ingredients he needs from his suppliers and manages his stocks as efficiently as possible. He or she is responsible for the cold chain and must be trained in good hygiene practices, as preparations are often made the day before.
