Crew catering: because your people can’t perform on an empty stomach.
Organizing a festival takes a lot of time and energy, and it also involves a lot of people. If you’re involved in organizing a festival, know that it’s important to pamper your crew to keep the atmosphere going. You expect a lot from your staff, so they need to eat well to meet those expectations.
In practice, this isn’t always the case. Often, artists and professionals get all the attention, while event staff are somewhat neglected. This is unreasonable and unfair, as you can easily arrange on-site catering to keep your crew happy and well-fed—allowing them to fully concentrate on their work.
Crew catering should not be seen as an additional expense, but rather as a valuable investment.
Requesting crew catering is an advantage for your festival
Catering for the crew should not be an afterthought, but rather a core aspect of organizing your festival.
These days, on-site catering is essential for any self-respecting event. It’s no longer enough to simply ensure that guests have food and drinks available; you also have to consider your own staff.
Neglecting the people who do so much important work behind the scenes damages your organization’s reputation and negatively impacts the quality of the event. By hiring catering for the crew, you show your own staff that you care about their well-being.
Investing in crew catering (by hiring a reliable catering company that specializes in this service) ensures even more motivated employees who perform better.
Professional catering that perfectly matches your event
Crew catering should not be overlooked at modern festivals and events, no matter how big or small.
You already put a lot of time and energy into catering to your guests, and you probably invest a considerable amount of money in all the food and drink preparations; why neglect your crew when you can easily and effortlessly provide them with food?
The crew behind a party is often crucial to its success. This simple fact alone is reason enough to pamper your crew. If you value your staff and want them to do their best, providing them with delicious food and drinks is the least you can do.
You can also count on professional crew catering for the artists, who will of course appreciate the opportunity to have good meals backstage, along with your bar staff, stand builders and technical crew.

You can choose to serve plates or simply arrange a buffet
You know how busy your staff is at every moment of your event – before, during, and after the performances. You also know that they expend a lot of energy during the day and in the evening, both physically and mentally. So it’s important to keep their energy levels high, preferably with good, healthy food that’s tasty, varied, and satisfying.
Remember when party catering mainly consisted of a frying pan with croquettes and fries? Those days are long gone. Crew catering has evolved enormously in recent years; you can trust that these services are there for your crew at every meal – starting in the morning with a nutritious breakfast of healthy bread and fresh fruit.
You can have meals served during dinner, or simply have a buffet prepared. A good caterer always has enough food for everyone… and makes sure the crew is finished with their work to provide them with drinks and snacks.
A short chat about the successful day, along with a small token of appreciation for the crew’s lack of everything. That’s how it should be. A little food can really boost team spirit.
Available options for vegans and vegetarians
Crew catering accelerates your organization; no one has to worry about good, healthy food from morning to night, so everyone can focus on their work.
A modern catering company offers suitable menus and various options for all types of people, including vegetarians and vegans. Your caterer can become a valuable ally you can rely on year after year to take care of catering for your team – so you don’t have to.
Respect the artists, but don’t forget your own people
Catering for artists is relatively common, and it makes perfect sense to take good care of the artists… but even organizers sometimes fail to see how insulting it can be to the crew if they only care about the artists.
If your crew has worked for days to keep the concert grounds clean and functional, they deserve respect, because they’re also essential to getting the party started. So don’t forget your own crew. You could choose to hire a crew caterer in addition to the artist catering, but that would be a shame, since a good crew caterer can also pamper the artists. For more images, check out our Instagram.
