Plastic cutlery is the newest trend in party supplies. These disposable spoons, forks, and knives are as elegant, sturdy, and stable as silverware. There are many colors and designs to choose from, giving the caterers the freedom to say yes to any party theme or style.
Plastic cutlery is now inching its way to the catering scene because of the following reasons:
Availability
Suppose a client wants a Victorian-inspired set-up for her party. As a caterer, you do not need to scour the stores to select cutlery that will match the theme. The perfect cutlery is available online and will be delivered within a few days. In cases where you need more sets, ordering more would be effortless.
Cost
Some of the significant expenditures that caterers spend on are cutlery, glassware, and dinnerware. Elegant, plastic cutlery cost is significantly less than its metal counterpart. Disposable cutlery is just one-tenth of the cost of silverware. Buying them in bulk would be even more cost-effective. Also, it would be effortless and inexpensive to replace missing cutlery.
Hygiene
Studies have shown that viruses causing gastroenteritis are present on all public silverware, even after undergoing a strict washing and drying process. Scientists state that germs cannot be eliminated completely. People only need to learn how to reduce the number of bacteria that enters the body’s system. Food poisoning caused by germs could harm lives and may result in a costly lawsuit. Using disposable cutlery dramatically reduces these risks.
Weight
This cutlery is significantly lightweight than silverware. It allows the catering staff to carry them in more significant quantities, making set-ups more efficient. These disposables will especially come in handy during events with a huge attendance.
Clean-up
Catering for an event usually lasts deep into the night. Clearing the tables and cleaning up after, are part of the job. Using plastic cutlery makes cleaning up easier since the staff will throw them away in bins. Since there is no cutlery to wash, the catering crew can finish its work faster, giving it time to rest and recharge.
Safety
This disposable cutlery is safer to use than silverware. It is wise to use it, especially when there are children in an event. If used properly, there is very little chance that it may cause harm. Your little guests would be able to use them without any help. For these reasons, using plastic cutlery is the best option for a catering business. Not only are they cost-effective, but they are convenient to use as well. Knowing that you have the best supplies helps you focus on growing the business.
