Catering Has a Long, Successful Track Record

Catering dates back to ancient times, as far back as the 4th millennium BC in China, followed by feasts and banquets in ancient Egypt and Greece that were organized to celebrate various occasions.

In the Middle Ages, guilds of cooks created elaborate meals for noble households and royal events. The Renaissance period saw lavish banquets put on by caterers showcasing their creativity and cooking prowess.

During the Industrial Revolution, the growth of cities and industries created a demand for mass catering services, and the trend continues in the 20th and 21st centuries. Now, catering is a professional industry featuring highly trained chefs, entire staffs of experienced servers, and innovative kitchen equipment.
