Restaurant & Foodservice Holiday Buffet Checklist

With the holiday season just around the corner its never to early to start menu planning.

To help you ease into the holiday buffet season we’ve created a checklist of fantastic items geared towards making your buffet presentation elegant and easy.

I am no stranger to buffet presentations. I understand the added stress levels of presenting holiday fare for hundreds of guests; all of whom come to your establishment with an appetite for great food and high expectations of that being delivered. This checklist is comprised of many items that I have personally used in the past; all of which have both presented well and alleviated much of the stress we take on in such days.
