#1 – Meet Me At Brunch
Go organic for a morning buffet event and provide fresh looks and tastes your guests will enjoy as they start their day. Cereal and beverage dispensers, with multi-level risers and organizers made of natural bamboo and crystal-clear acrylic, highlight the natural goodness you’re serving up, without upstaging any of the eats or treats. You can let the food and drinks’ natural colors stand out. Add some subtle classical music to the mix and you’ll be the talk of the town for hosting a morning wedding, shower, birthday party, fundraiser, or other elegant events.
#2 – Grab-and-go Buffet
For a simple, yet functional buffet setting ideal for hospitality or other guests on the run, prepare portion-sized dishes in trays and on risers, and allow whole, fresh produce to be grabbed with a single hand, from a tray and stand system. Allow guests with a little more time to self-dispense cereal, grains and beverages, providing the liteware or disposables they need to satisfy their hunger in the nick of time. Natural bamboo equipment is ideal for letting the food stand out, so mealtime decisions can be made with haste, and every tummy rumble is met.
#3 – University Cafeteria
Want to host a fun, throwback buffet that reminds everyone of the good old college days? How about a university cafeteria themed buffet setting? Keep your produce and baked goods fresh and germ-free with one and two-tier domed bakery cases, organize your dry foods in a multi-drawer bakery case and provide the appropriate dispensers for your beverages and cereals. Not pictured, but also a great idea: add some hot chafing dishes to present favorite warm college foods, like mac ‘n cheese, pizza, burgers and more. You can also decorate the room in vibrant colors, add some streamers, balloons and retro music, and watch as your guests party like it’s 1999 (or whenever they attended college).
#4 – Taco Nights
These days, DIY buffets are all the rage. Guests love putting together their own custom dishes, but know that you have to present each component to impress, if you want it to be snatched up and devoured. For the taco night everyone will be talking about tomorrow, try out a stainless steel chafing dish, a griddle with a flatbread warming tray, multi-level risers with individual bowls for each ingredient, and of course, a clear beverage dispenser for your best sangria, mojito, or other theme-appropriate drink. All that’s left is to turn on the Macarena and watch smiles abound.
#5 Designed to Impress
If you’re gearing up to host an elegant buffet, this is the buffet setting for you. A series of melamine risers and modular-shaped trays can instantly elevate your portioned-out eats, presented for all eyes to see. Alternate the trays’ shapes and colors, as well as the risers’ heights, to create an impressive buffet installation no eye can avoid.
