Fine Dine – catering and event equipment (4)

Fine Dine equipment for professional catering

Catering for an event requires not only the preparation of dishes, but also their efficient serving, the topping up of drinks and the transport of tableware. Fine Dine equipment can be used as part of the back-of-house set-up for both on-site and off-site events.

Products in this category are ideal for:

• coffee breaks,
• conferences and training sessions,
• banquets and receptions,
• hotel breakfasts,
• business meetings,
• restaurant service,
• events organised by catering companies.

Fine Dine conference thermos flasks

Conference thermos flasks allow you to prepare coffee, tea or hot water before the event begins and place the drinks directly on the buffet, conference table or mobile serving station.

A range of capacities allows you to choose a thermos flask suited to the number of attendees and the style of service. Smaller models can be placed at tables or in intimate rooms, whilst larger ones are ideal for the main coffee station.

Thermos flasks can be used to serve:

• black coffee,
• tea,
• hot water,
• herbal and fruit infusions.

Thermos flasks for coffee breaks and conferences

During a coffee break, it is important to be able to top up drinks quickly without having to move the coffee machine or kettle each time. Thermos flasks allow you to set up several serving points and distribute service to participants across different parts of the room.

Before the event begins, it is worth:

• matching the number of thermos flasks to the number of guests,
• separating the vessels intended for coffee and tea,
• clearly labelling the contents,
• plan space for cups, sugar, milk and accompaniments,
• set a schedule for topping up drinks.

Waiter’s trolleys for mobile service

The Fine Dine waiter’s trolley can serve as a mobile service station. It facilitates the transport of crockery, glassware, drinks, accessories and items needed to prepare or restock the buffet.

It can be used for:

• transporting cups, plates and glassware,
• distributing thermos flasks and drinks,
• restocking coffee stations,
• collecting used tableware,
• organising a mobile waiting service,
• catering for banquets and receptions.

Mobile catering station

The trolley can be equipped with thermos flasks, cups, napkins, sugar, milk and other accessories, creating a mobile station for serving meetings and events. This solution is useful in venues with several rooms and when serving guests in different parts of the building.

When planning the layout, consideration should be given to the width of passageways, access to lifts, the height of thresholds and the space allocated for parking the trolley. The items being transported should be positioned securely and distributed evenly.

Fine Dine for hotel and banquet catering

In hotels and banquet halls, Fine Dine equipment can support the running of multiple events taking place on the same day. Thermos flasks allow separate sets to be prepared for individual rooms, whilst trolleys streamline their delivery and subsequent collection.

These products are ideal for:

• breakfast buffets,
• breaks between conference sessions,
• coffee service during training sessions,
• corporate events,
• weddings and family celebrations,
• catering for organised groups.

How to choose Fine Dine equipment for catering?

• determine the type and frequency of events you cater for,
• match the capacity of the thermos flasks to the number of guests,
• plan the number of coffee stations,
• check the trolley dimensions and the width of the aisles,
• take into account the amount of tableware being transported,
• plan space for clean and used crockery,
• check the washing and care instructions for the products.

Cleaning and preparation for the next event

Once the event is over, the thermos flasks should be emptied, washed thoroughly and left to dry. Particular attention should be paid to lids, spouts and closures, where drink residues may remain.

The trolley should be cleaned of any spilled liquids and dirt, and its wheels and moving parts should be checked regularly. The equipment should be stored in such a way as to allow for the quick preparation of the next catering set.

Choose Fine Dine catering equipment suited to the number of guests and the way the service is organised. Conference thermos flasks and waiter’s trolleys help to efficiently prepare coffee breaks, serve banquets and transport equipment between the back-of-house and the function room.
