A caterer?s kitchen supplies need to be able to handle lots of use and be able to fix large volumes of food.Depending on if the food is being prepared on the event site or not, the food may need to kept warm during transportation. Gastronorm containers are great for this since they allow food to be reheated in the same container it was transported in, and for buffet style events chafing dishes can be used to store and serve the food as well.Basic serving dishes such as plates and serving utensils are essential for every caterer. A good caterer should have both disposable and non-disposable dishes available for them to use at different events. Even though non-disposable dishes and polished silver look nicer and are preferred for formal events using disposable dishes make clean-up easier and are often used for casual events.Every caterer should own some basic decoration items such as table cloths and candle holders. An investment in some candle holders for various types of events and both black and white table cloths will help a caterer decorate for any type of event.Staying with black and white for colors allows a caterer to match almost any decorating theme and if done right candles are a simple way to make a table look elegant for a formal event.Most caterers serve coffee, juice, and either water or tea at events. Depending on style of the event different types of drink dispensers are needed. A buffet style drink dispenser should be easy to use and not have to be poured as this can create a mess. A full service event will have servers with pitchers to fill the glasses. No matter what kind of event it is a caterer will need something to make tea and coffee with.They types of glasses a caterer needs depends on the event type and if their is bar or not. If there is a bar than the caterer will need shot glasses and cocktail glasses. For a more causal event disposable glasses may be able to be use even for the bar, but a formal event requires stemware and real glass.The amount of catering supplies needed may seem overwhelming at first but having the basics for any type of catering event will allow a caterer the opportunity to do more events and make more of a profit. Most new caterers will start with one style and slowly add other types as they go so they are not so overwhelmed.
