Is everyone catering to the internet?

It seems that organizing a business or private event or function is the domain of a professional event organizer. Different elements need to come together to organise an event that sets your organization apart from the pack. Time seems to be the major issue, “how do we do our normal jobs and then organize a cool, fun party for 20 or so sales reps in one day?” ask many frustrated potential organizers. Well it seems the internet as come to the rescue – in the form of new online ordering websites that service the events and hospitality industry. As some Personal and Executive Assistants have already discovered, a website like Box Catering [www.boxcatering.com.au] can simplify the process of organizing such an event, function or party. So armed with just a computer and with the Box Catering website loaded, they can organize all their catering and function needs in one place.
Cutting Edge Website
The new Box Catering e-commerce website contains large high resolution images and descriptions of every item. All the food, beverages and staff needed for an event are easy to browse, view and order online. With just four clicks, the order is complete and not having to fax, email or phone appeals to a lot of people in a hurry, “I get online and in 4 mins I’m done!” said one very happy PA. Corporate accounts, order history and ability to pay online also strikes a happy cord with many event organizers that order in big numbers, “…they (Box Catering) seem to have it all together, it’s seamless and straight forward, I wish everything was this easy…” The Box Catering website took two years in the making using the talented services of veteran, award-winning web designers Amblique.
Food Safety
New food safety practices have managed to keep food transportation very much in the public eye and Box Catering has food delivery practices that are second to none in the catering industry. Delivering all their meals in specially designed electric 240v insulated carry boxes that maintains the temperatures at between 65 and 74 degrees celsius, the hot food stays definitely hot.
Any cold food is delivered in same style of insulated cool boxes, complete with a special fridge insert. These boxes ensure that all the food remains in excellent condition and avoids the danger of the food spoiling. The use of these boxes has the added benefit of allowing the customer to have the food delivered before it is needed. It takes away the stress of needing to be accurate with timing during a function, so if any meeting goes over time, the meals will still be hot or cold. The customer times the delivery before any of the guests even arrive as the meals can be kept in good condition for a couple of hours if required. The delivery boxes are similar to those used by hospitals and airlines. A demonstration video of how the delivery boxes work is supplied on the website.
So with you next function or party in the future, don’t stress the internet and Box Catering has come to help you with your plight.

Box Catering - in an event!

23/07/2010 - Box Catering concludes RSVP Event - (for Sydney Event Organizers)


Box Catering has generated an enormous amount of interest at this year's 6th RSVP Event.
Taking place at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, 22nd & 23rd July 2010, RSVP Sydney brings together the crème de la crème of the events industry.
Box Catering introduced their new catering concept to a surprising number of business and private event and party organizers based in Sydney and all over Australia!
Many of these organizers found the Box Catering concept both refreshingly simple and a very good solution to many catering problems. Some of Box Catering's unique concepts that especially appealed were; having the ability to keep the catering hot for a extended period of time in their electric delivery boxes; to be able to order online and see the food as you order with big glossary images and clear concise descriptions.
Many organizers found the Box Catering staff to be able to offer help to any catering problem and be ready to give loads of new ideas and interesting solutions to the most unusual event and catering challenges.
Excitement, entertainment, inspiration and information were the promise of this year’s show and it delivered especially with Box Catering's contribution!
We found this event really rewarding in fact I'm already thinking of doing it again next year, just wondering if this is normal to have have a good experience at a trade event, not open to the public!?
