How to Use Risers and Surfaces to Create an Eye-catching Buffet

Make your buffets look visually appealing, with Rosseto

People eat with their eyes, taking in dishes’ visual qualities, before every placing a morsel on their fork or spoon. As such, it is extremely important that your buffet, its setup and menu items, all look as (or more) appetizing than they actually are.

First impressions matter, and today, we’re going to help you make each first impression count.

Here are some top tips and tricks for ensuring your buffet catches guests’ eyes, and causes their bellies to rumble:

1. Plate up

Maximize your buffet table AND your customers’ visibility of what treats you have on offer, by creating a buffet that stacks vertically, in addition to horizontally. Use catering and buffet risers to alter the height levels of your dishes’ placements, allow more dishes to be placed above and below one another and draw in the customers’ eyes. Display risers that simultaneously appeal to a high level of aesthetics and functional utility.

2. Treat your buffet as part of the decor

Complement your buffet with design elements that reflect your restaurant, hospitality venue or event’s theme and/or occasion – and prepare to get your guests talking, and reaching for more. There’s nothing more exciting than guessing how a particular dish or drink fits in with the theme of the day – and you can use buffet risers to pair each dish and drink, in the form of literally standing “monuments” to the theme. Extremely creative, interactive and fun!

3. Get creative with your materials

Continuing with the “decor theme,” you can be sure to capture your guests’ attention by using risers and other surfaces made from varying materials and in different shapes and sizes – bamboo, metal, acrylic, round, square, elliptic, ionic… Tailor the materials your risers and surfaces are made from to the theme and style of your event. For example, bamboo works great for health-conscious or jungle-themed parties, while metal is ideal for a hi-tech start-up’s launch party; it gleams of innovation.

4. Accentuate freshness

Also important when presenting food, is how fresh and tasty it appears. With elegant chafing dishes and coolers hosting your hot and cold foods, you can easily accentuate the freshness and decadency in every bite. Plus, you’ll also gain the added benefit of actually serving up food at its intended temperature- a win-win for all! “Chafing buffet, all the way,” is our motto, and it should be yours as well!
