Breaks are one of the most important moments during an event. All attendees are interested in networking and thus this space is important for them. This is why we have prepared five things that you must think about to make sure this space ends up being special. These things are:

1. Planning:

In first place, we must realize that a break is useful in big and small events, thus, the menu served and the time it takes must be elected depending on the type of event and the theme.

For example, when organizing a big event we recommend you to use a specialized catering service that takes care of this.

If the event is small, you can buy plastic cups, plates and napkins and ask for the food service at the right moment.

It is necessary that you think about the food option you want in advance (if necessary).

2. Number of people:

Define the number of people that will participate. The food company must be informed in advance about the number of people involved in the event.

Depending on the number of people, the amount of food and drinks, plates and other things must be determined. Therefore, defining the number of attendees will avoid having the wrong idea of the quantities required during the event.

To calculate the number of participants is something complicated due to the nature of it. We advise you to consider 30% of those registered when the event is free and 100% when the event is paid. This is something that has worked for us.

3. Time and place:

After determining the number of participants, the next step is to think about the proper time and place for the event. The menu for a breakfast is very different from a lunch.

Establish the time for the break, this way the hired companies will work accordingly so that the food is on time and properly served.

In relation to the place of the event, it is important to be sure that the space is enough for the amount of people attending it.

4. Food Options:

It is possible to use two tables: one for drinks and the other for snacks.

About the drinks, serve the basics: Coffee, tea, sodas, etc. Do not forget to place sugar, sweeteners, plastics spoons and plates (if necessary).

In terms of food options it is possible to serve: croissants, sandwiches, and cookies.

5. Break duration:

The break must last round 30 minutes.

It is important to have this established in advance and let the attendees know. This way you can avoid delays and uncomfortable situations.
