Themed catering doesn't have to mean just colorful décor and a few dishes from one country. A well-designed concept ties together the menu, drinks, service, visuals, and atmosphere of the event.

The advantage of our catering is that it draws on the experience and flavors of several gastro brands within Precise Group. This lets us combine a Mexico stage, Asian cuisine, burgers, poke bowls, Slovak dishes, wine, and premium desserts, all at one event.

You don't need to communicate with multiple separate suppliers. One team handles the concept, logistics, and execution.

One event, multiple concepts

The biggest advantage of the ecosystem is the ability to combine individual brands.

A summer team building can bring together a Mexico stage, burgers, and a cocktail bar. A conference can work with a poke zone, Asian food, and desserts. A Christmas party can combine home cooking, meat carving, wine, and a themed sweet bar.

We select each concept based on the type of event, guest count, venue, and budget. After a consultation, we'll propose a combination that makes sense in taste, visuals, and logistics alike.

Themed catering doesn't come from randomly pairing several dishes. It comes from one well-thought-out concept that holds the whole event together.

Seven gastro concepts, one team

Frequently asked questions

Catering can sometimes be pulled together at the last minute. But the bigger and more demanding your event, the more it pays off to plan ahead.

Enough lead time lets us fine-tune the menu, check the venue, and secure the staff, equipment, and any other services that are part of the event.

Smaller event for 10 to 50 guests

In some cases, we can prepare a simpler corporate breakfast, lunch, office snack, or a smaller networking event within 48 hours.

This mainly applies when:

• you know the exact guest count
• you have your own venue
• you don't need extensive décor
• you choose from our existing offer
• no complicated technical setup is needed

For a custom menu, themed desserts, or special equipment, it's better to reach out earlier.

Event for 50 to 100 guests

At this size, plan on at least 72 hours.

Besides food, we need to secure enough staff, transport, equipment, drinks, and set up service correctly.

For a party with food stages, a cocktail bar, or décor, a longer lead time is ideal. Three days can work for a simpler setup, but not for every type of event.

Event for more than 100 guests

For an event with more than a hundred guests, book catering at least 7 days in advance.

For a larger or more production-heavy event, a few weeks to a few months of lead time is ideal.

We need more time mainly when we're arranging:

• multiple food stages
• venue rental or selection
• full drink service
• a larger service team
• themed décor
• equipment and furnishings
• a custom cake or desserts
• a mobile kitchen

Why guest count alone isn't the deciding factor

An event for 150 guests in a fully equipped venue can be simpler than a dinner for 50 guests at a castle or another unconventional location.

So the complexity of the venue and the scope of required services matter just as much.

During a site visit, we look at:

• supply options
• access to electricity and water
• kitchen facilities
• space for food preparation
• guest flow
• where bars and stages can be placed

If the venue lacks the necessary equipment, we bring it and set it up ourselves.

What to send in your first request?

The more basic information we have, the faster we can prepare a relevant quote. It helps to know:

• date and time of the event
• venue
• guest count
• type of event
• your idea for food and drinks
• requirements for staff and décor
• approximate budget

We've also handled events prepared in a much shorter time, and we're happy to look at the options. For express deadlines, though, it depends on current capacity, staff availability, venue, and the requested menu.

The earlier you reach out, the more options we can offer, and the fewer compromises you'll need to make on menu, venue, and overall concept.

Frequently asked questions

The difference between catering for 50 and 300 guests isn't just about the amount of food. As guest count grows, so does the logistics, the number of staff, the way food is served, supply chains, and the layout of the entire space.

What works at a smaller gathering can create long lines and unnecessary chaos at a large event.

Catering for around 50 guests

A smaller event allows for a more personal approach and greater flexibility. It might be:

• corporate breakfast
• working lunch
• a smaller conference
• networking
• anniversary celebration
• a party for a single team

For fifty guests, one buffet or one food stage, complemented with drinks and desserts, is often enough.

It matters whether food will be the main focus of the program. Finger food can be enough for a short networking session. Lunch calls for a full menu, and a party works well with a combination of one stage, a buffet, and drink service.

Even at a smaller event, quantities need to be estimated correctly. Missing portions or an empty dessert bowl are very noticeable with just fifty guests.

Catering for around 150 guests

At 150 guests, the movement of people needs more detailed planning.

The most common mistake is a single service point that the entire group heads to during the break. The result is long lines and guests who don't get to eat comfortably.

It's worth:

• splitting food across multiple stations
• separating drinks from the main buffet
• preparing more plates, cutlery, and glasses
• reinforcing staff during peak times
• ensuring continuous food replenishment
• clearly labeling allergens and dietary options

At a conference, service needs to be fast. At a party, food can open in stages, welcome bites first, then the main buffet or stages, and desserts later.

Catering for 300 or more guests

At a large event, catering becomes a production of its own. You need to plan:

• delivery and storage of ingredients
• mobile kitchen setup
• cooling and heating
• the number of chefs, waiters, and bartenders
• the layout of multiple service points
• food and drink reserves
• removal of equipment and waste
• setup and teardown time

At 300 guests, one food stage is usually not enough. Even if it can prepare enough portions over the whole evening, it may not handle the main rush within a few minutes.

The solution can be multiple identical stations, or a combination of a buffet, flying service, and several themed stages.

Food is only part of the budget

At every event size, other services need deciding too.

Desserts

Do you need a basic selection for a buffet, a custom cake, a sweet bar, or branded desserts? The number of options and the way they're served affect price and logistics.

Drinks

A daytime event can get by with water, coffee, and lemonades. A party may need wine, prosecco, beer, a cocktail bar, and non-alcoholic alternatives.

Décor and equipment

Not every venue has enough tables, tablecloths, plates, glassware, or bar equipment. For unconventional venues, almost the entire setup may need to be provided, and we can arrange that too.

What to clarify before booking?

Before reaching out, prepare at least the basics:

• approximate guest count
• type and date of the event
• venue
• schedule
• your idea for the menu
• scope of drinks
• requirements for desserts, décor, and staff

For larger events, we also recommend a site visit. It lets us properly plan service points, technical setup, and staff numbers.

Good catering for hundreds of guests isn't just about having enough food. What matters is that guests can get to it quickly, dishes are served at the right quality, and the whole service feels natural.

Frequently asked questions

A food stage can turn simple catering into one of the main highlights of the program. Guests watch the food being prepared, choose their own combinations, and naturally gather around each station.

Not every stage fits every event, though. Choosing the right one means considering the type of event, guest count, venue, and the atmosphere you want to create.

Why a site visit matters

Before choosing your stages, we recommend a consultation and site visit. We mainly look at:

• how many guests will be moving through the space
• where each station can be placed
• whether electricity, water, and ventilation are available
• what the supply options are
• how the program will run
• how many portions each stage needs to serve

A grill or steak stage can be ideal for a terrace, courtyard, or outdoor event, but may not suit an enclosed room. For a conference, fast service and easy eating matter more.

We'll pick the right stage for your event, or build one for you.

Informal corporate party

For a relaxed party, this combination works well:

Guests can move freely, sample different foods, and gather naturally around the bar. This concept fits industrial venues, terraces, and outdoor spaces alike.

Premium client event

For an event with clients or business partners, we recommend a combination that feels representative:

Authentic tacos, guacamole prepared in front of guests, aged steaks, and themed drinks create both a culinary experience and a natural flow for the evening.

Full-day conference

For a conference, lighter food and fast service matter most. A good combination can be:

Poke bowls and sushi offer lighter options with plenty of vegetarian combinations. The sweet stage can be part of registration or the afternoon break.

For larger guest counts, it's worth setting up more than one service point so everyone can get food during the break.

Team building or outdoor event

More interactive concepts suit team building well:

At the pizza stage, guests can try making their own pizza together with our chef. Food becomes a shared activity, not just a break in the program.

Networking event

At a networking event, food shouldn't get in the way of conversation. This works well:

Pizza can be served in smaller pieces, so guests don't need large plates. The cocktail bar and dessert zone also create natural spots for people to meet.

Christmas or gala party

For more formal events, we recommend this combination:

Carving meat in front of guests creates a strong centerpiece. Traditional dishes bring familiar flavors, and the sweet section can be styled to match a Christmas or corporate theme.

Family Day

Simple, crowd-pleasing food works best for a family event:

These stages can run throughout the whole day, offering plenty of options for kids and adults alike.

How many stages should you choose?

More stages don't automatically mean a better event. For a smaller guest count, two quality stations can be enough. For a large event, the same stage may need to be repeated at multiple points.

What matters is guest count, venue size, event length, and how fast the food can be prepared.

The best food stage isn't the biggest or the most photogenic one. It's the one that naturally fits the venue, the program, and the character of your event.

Frequently asked questions

"How much will catering cost?" is usually one of the first questions when planning a corporate event. The answer, however, depends on more than just guest count and chosen food.

The final price is also shaped by the venue, service format, drinks, desserts, equipment, staff, décor, and technical complexity of the event. Still, there's a general framework you can use to set your first budget.

Corporate breakfast from €12 per person

Corporate breakfast is ideal for meetings, trainings, conferences, client visits, or as a nice perk for your team.

The offer can include:

• filled bagels, wraps, or croissants
• spreads and pastries
• sweet pastries and small desserts
• coffee, tea, juices, or homemade lemonades

Prices start around €12 per person. The main difference comes from whether you want ready-made boxes delivered to your office, or a full breakfast service with equipment and staff.

Corporate lunch from €20 per person

A corporate lunch can be part of a conference, training, team building, or a full-day event.

You can choose from options like:

• served menu
• hot and cold buffet
• lunch boxes
• street food concept
• themed food stage

Prices start around €20 per person. The event schedule matters too. If guests only have a short lunch break, service needs to be set up so there are no long lines.

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary options should also be considered.

Corporate party from €40 per person

A party is usually the most complex type of event. Besides food, it often involves drink service, staff, food stages, equipment, desserts, décor, and the venue itself.

Prices start around €40 per person.

The budget is shaped by things like:

• cold and hot buffet
• served menu
• one or more food stages
• welcome drink and cocktail bar
• alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
• sweet bar or a custom cake
• staff and equipment
• décor and event production

A smaller party in your own space can be built around a buffet, wine, and desserts. For a larger event, you can combine a steak stage, Mexico stage, cocktail bar, and full service throughout the evening.

What affects the price of catering the most?

Venue

If you have your own space with a kitchen, electricity, water, and equipment, preparation can be simpler. For unconventional venues, we often set up a mobile kitchen, cooling equipment, work tables, or a full technical setup.

Drinks

Drinks can make up a significant part of the budget. There's a big difference between a basic package of water, coffee, and lemonades, and a full open bar with wine, spirits, and cocktails.

Desserts

Through Red Velvet Cakes, we can provide desserts for a buffet, macarons, a sweet bar, a custom cake, or branded sweets for your company.

Staff and equipment

Price also depends on the number of waiters, bartenders, and chefs, the length of the event, and the tableware, glassware, tables, and other equipment needed.
