3 Ways How to Make Your Fast Food Catering Look Elegant

By Catering Staff | July 18, 2016

One of the reasons why a lot of people shy away from ordering catering services from fast food chains is the fact that they look like takeout. Party trays are usually different, especially Arby’s meat platters because they’re often arranged nicely and party ready. It’s the other dishes that can be a bit of a challenge to make look presentable.

What you need to know, though, is that it can be done. Here are a few ways you can turn your fast food catering orders look like actual catering in a jiffy.

Bring out your nice china.

For some reason, every household has a set of nice china that’s usually on display or stashed away. A lot of to-be married couples look for their own patterns while some get gifted by generous relatives. In any case, you most likely have a fancy china set that’s safely hidden so they won’t be used day in and day out. What you need to do is get rid of the mentality that those things are for special occasions only, because most of the time, you don’t deem an occasion special enough for their use.

But since you’re having a few people over, maybe it’s a good time to use them this evening with your catering order from Buca di Beppo. Fancy the tasty meal a bit with your nice china and your guests will be hard pressed to know that you got the food from a restaurant chain.

Get some inspiration online.

Want to make a really fancy spread with the catering items you got from Fazoli’s? You can also get some inspiration online in how to plate, arrange, and garnish your fast food catering meal in a flash. Check out lifestyle blogs, Pinterest, and other food blogs and take cues at how they present their food. Yours don’t have to look like they’re getting photographed for a food magazine, though. If they’re deemed social media worthy, you’ll know that you’ve done well.

Get some nice servingware and get the party started.

Sometimes, you only need the right servingware to transform simple dishes into something deluxe. Grab some fancy looking serving plates and bowls, fix up your table a little bit with some great looking accessories and centerpieces and even you will forget that you got your food from a fast food catering and that they’re not made by a celebrity chef.

With a little creativity and the right accessories, you’ll surely be able to pull off a nice meal with friends and fast food catering.
