Organizing a festival involves a lot of time and energy, as well as a lot of people. If you’re involved in a festival organization you should know it’s important to pamper your crew, in order to keep the spirits up. You expect a lot from your workers, so they have to eat well to be able to live up to those expectations.

In practice, this isn’t always the case. It often turns out that artists and professionals get all the attention, while the event workers are a bit neglected. That is unreasonable and unjustified since you can easily arrange for catering on location to keep your crew happy and well fed – so they will be able to fully focus on the work at hand.

Crew catering shouldn’t be regarded as an additional expense, but rather as a worthy investment.

Requesting crew catering will benefit your festival

Crew catering shouldn’t be an afterthought, but rather a core aspect of your festival organization.

In this day and age, catering on location is indispensable for every self-respecting party. It’s no longer enough to make arrangements so that visitors have food and drink available; you need to consider your own staff as well.

Neglecting the people who do so much important work behind the scenes will be detrimental to your organization’s reputation and will negatively impact the quality of the event. By hiring party catering services to feed your crew, you show your own people that you are concerned about their well-being.

Investing in crew catering (by hiring a reliable catering company that specializes in this service) will ensure even more motivated employees that will be likelier to perform at their best.

Professional catering services that suit your event perfectly

Crew catering should not be overlooked in modern festivals and events, no matter how big or small.

You already use a lot of time and energy to make sure your guests enjoy themselves, and you likely invest a good deal of money to get all the arrangements for food and drinks; why would you want to overlook your crew, when you can easily provide them with meals easily and effortlessly?

The crew behind a party is often crucial for the success of the event. By itself, this simple fact is good enough reason to pamper your crew. If you value your employees and want them to do their best, providing them with tasty food and drinks is the least you can do for them.

You can also rely on professional crew catering to feed the performing artists, who naturally will appreciate having access to good meals behind the scenes, along with your bar staff, stand builders and technical crew members.

You can choose to serve plates or just arrange a buffet

You know how busy your employees are at every time during your event – before, during and after the performances. You also know they spend a lot of energy during the day and evening, both physically and mentally. So it is important to keep the energy levels high, preferably with good and healthy food which is tasty, diverse and satisfying.

Remember when party catering mainly consisted of a frying pan and croquettes and fries? Those times are long gone. Crew catering has evolved a lot in the recent years; you can rely on these services to be there for your crew through every meal – starting in the morning, with a nutritious breakfast that includes healthy bread and fresh fruit.

You can request for meals to be served in the evening during dinner time, or simply get a buffet in place. A good caterer always has enough food for everyone… and will make sure to wait for the crew to finish the day’s work to provide them with a drink and a snack.

A quick chat about the successful day, along with a little token of appreciation for the simple fact the crew did not fall short. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. A little food can go a long way to build up team morale.

Available options for vegans and vegetarian food

Crew catering will speed up your organization; no one will have to worry about getting good and healthy food from early in the morning until late at night, so everyone can just stay focused in doing their work.

A modern catering company provides appropriate menus and diverse options to suit all kinds of people, including vegetarians and vegans. Your caterer can become a valuable ally that you can rely on year after year to worry about feeding the team – so you don’t have to.

Respect the artists, but don’t forget your own people

Artist catering is relatively common, and it makes perfect sense to take good care of the performers… but even organizers sometimes fail to see how caring only about the artists can be insulting for the crew.

If your people have been working for days to make the concert grounds tidy and functional, they should also be respected because they’re also vital to get the party started. So don’t forget your own people. You could choose to hire a crew caterer alongside with artist catering, but that would be wasteful since a good crew caterer is also perfectly capable of pampering the artists.
