CONS IDERATIONS FOR
SPECIAL EVENTS
As a foodservice manager, you're well aware
of the food safety regulations and budgetary
constraints that affect your daily operations.
These are also factors to be mindful of
when planning special events, along with a
couple other unique issues. Here are some
considerations to keep in mind:
Food Safety
* All standard food safety rules and regulations
still apply for special events. Wright notes,
" Food safety is always a consideration when
we do any type of presentation. As we plan
for the event, we build in control points
where needed. " Thirion echoes this, stating
" We try to do as many of our special events
as possible in the school cafeterias. That way,
we have access to the kitchen and can better
manage food safety issues vs. prepping or
transporting food into a less-ideal space. "
* If staff members are wearing costumes as
part of a special event, be sure the outfits
are safe and sanitary for food handlers. For
example, staff should still wear a hat or hair
restraint, should not have long or polished
nails, and should not wear jewelry.
Budget
* Special events may require different staffing
levels than normal daily operations,
depending on the complexity of the menu
and the involvement of employees during
the event. Be sure to account for this in your
budget.
* Be creative with menu planning, thinking
of how event ingredients can be repurposed
later. According to Dunnam, " I like to work
ingredients into events that are easily crossutilized
in other areas of the operation (like
retail or a featured item on the menu) to keep
costs under control. "
