After a catered corporate event, you may find yourself with leftovers. Many corporate caterers don't leave any extra behind, either because they've underestimated demand or because they're unwilling to take on liability for food which is not stored properly. But Corporate Caterers in Dublin, OH, frequently packages leftovers for clients after events. So what should you do with this unexpected food, especially if there's a lot left?

Have Someone Take It Home

One solution is simply to divvy up the food between the employees present at the event. You can put out a general call for anyone who'd like to take home extra or focus on the organizers of the event. This is a simple and effective way to make sure the food is all gone by the end of the day.

Deliver It to Absent Employees

If someone was unable to make the event, bringing them leftovers can show you're thinking of them. This is especially true for employees who are sick, injured, or going through periods of stress. Families who have recently suffered loss or are adjusting to life with a newborn often have less time to cook and may appreciate a delicious meal.

Consider Charitable Contributions

You may have the opportunity to donate any leftovers to a local soup kitchen or church to help feed those in need. This solution depends on the policies of your local charities, so be sure to ask in advance. Your chosen charity may need to know the catering menu before agreeing to accept the food. Alternatively, your organization could take this opportunity to distribute food directly to where it is most needed.

As long as you're mindful of food safety and store leftovers properly, there's no reason they should go to waste. If you have extra after an event with Corporate Caterers, you have the opportunity to brighten someone's day.
