Catering at Outdoor Venues

Off-site catering in many venues around Nevada County, and likely most Northern California Venues, there are essential requirements in off-site catering which demand unique skills, equipment, and staffing that vary depending on the venue and type of service you wish to provide.

Full-Service Catering, required by most State Parks, Wineries, and private venues expect the Caterer to do most of the heavy lifting, as well as preparing the meal. This means extra staffing for set-up and break-down of tables and some décor in most cases. If you want to break into the premium catering field, you will need help in setting up an operational plan.

Towns-End can help with specific aspects of planning, marketing, and setting up some of the logistics to avoid the pitfalls. Managing the parking of 100 cars to restroom rentals and working with a dozen vendors requires time-management and task-specific planning.
