Why Not Try Fast Food Stations at Your Event?

By Catering Staff | September 5, 2016

Every event planner wants their next gig to be unforgettable. Especially if you’re celebrating a big day, you will want to make everything remarkable so guests will enjoy and remember your bash. But with every theme already overdone, what else can you try to make things a bit more exciting for your guests?

With food stations being in vogue right now, why don’t you take the concept and make your own fast food stations at your reception? With almost everyone being in love with fast food joints, this is a sure fire way to ensure that everyone will be well fed and actually enjoy the food.

Sure, the idea isn’t exactly a novel one, but it has its merits. Here are some of its great advantages:

1. It lets you ensure variety. You have great control over choosing the fast food chains to hire if you opt to do fast food stations at your event. You can easily hire Chick A Fil A, Chipotle, In-N-Out, Fazoli’s, Yogurtland, Wingstop, and Dunkin Donuts for a single event to ensure that you provide a lot of options to your guests.

2. You already know that people will like it. Choosing a popular fast food joint in town will definitely guarantee you that your guests will gobble up the food you’ll be preparing for them.

3. You can save time. Instead of contacting catering companies to set up meetings and tastings, hiring fast food caterers will give you a more straightforward process. Just go to their store or website, talk to whoever’s in charge, settle the payment, and you’re good to go.

4. You are better protected from flaky suppliers. As most fast food chains have their corporate image to take care of, you’re most likely guaranteed that they’ll show up to your party. No more worrying about last minute cancellations and other issues that unprofessional catering companies sometimes do.

5. You can easily book last minute. Even if your event is just a few days away from now, you can still easily create a unique celebration by getting a handful of different fast food joints at your bash because most of these companies are stocked well enough to chug out a huge amount of food within the next few days. You can even book them just a day before and get everything settled in a jiffy without breaking a sweat.

Even if you’re planning a relatively formal celebration, you can still opt for a fast food food stations theme. Just make sure to add a charcuterie station with Arby’s meat platters and a bar packed with champagne and wine, and you’ll be set to create a fine evening.
