Case Study: University Gala in Indiana
The Challenge: Meeting Dual Dietary Needs for 300 Guests
A prestigious university in Indiana entrusted Food Consulting Services LLC with catering their annual gala, an event attended by 300 faculty members, alumni, and students.
The challenge was to create a dining experience that seamlessly offered both Kosher and non-Kosher options, ensuring compliance with strict dietary guidelines while satisfying the diverse preferences of the attendees.
The event was a centerpiece of the university’s academic calendar, requiring flawless execution and impeccable attention to detail to uphold the institution’s reputation for excellence.
Our Solution: Tailored Menus and Flawless Coordination
Drawing on our 15+ years of combined experience in large-scale catering, we developed a detailed strategy to meet the event’s unique requirements:
Dual Menu Development:
Created two separate menus: one Kosher and one non-Kosher, with equally exquisite culinary offerings to ensure no guest felt overlooked.
Sourced certified Kosher ingredients from our trusted New York suppliers and collaborated with an Orthodox Kosher supervisor to guarantee full compliance.
Designed the non-Kosher menu to complement the Kosher offerings, showcasing a diverse range of flavors and styles.
2. Distinct Dining Stations:
Organized separate Kosher (non-dairy) and non-Kosher dining stations to maintain strict separation while providing easy access for guests.
Ensured each station had clear signage and trained staff to assist guests in navigating their options.
3. Logistics Management:
Worked closely with the university’s event planning team to coordinate timing, table layouts, and service flow.
Deployed a team of skilled chefs and servers trained in dietary compliance and hospitality best practices.
4. Seamless Execution:
Conducted a pre-event walkthrough to address any potential challenges and align with the university’s expectations.
Delivered an exceptional dining experience, from beautifully presented dishes to attentive service that exceeded guest expectations.
The Outcome: A Gala to Remember
The dual catering solution was a resounding success, earning high praise from university leadership and attendees alike.
Guests appreciated the thoughtful accommodations, variety of options, and the exceptional quality of the food.
The event reinforced Food Consulting Services LLC’s reputation as an expert in managing complex dietary needs for high-profile gatherings.
As a testament to our success, the university immediately contracted us to cater their next gala and referred us to other departments for future events.
