Catering Trends in 2020

Special event outdoor tent area

As states begin to scale back gathering size restrictions, events this fall and winter will look a little different. Were you invited to an event earlier this year that turned into a backyard event? 

Here are some current trends in the catering industry:

  • Events are more likely to be outside; depending on the geographic region, they may be under a tent or a heated tent
  • Caterers are trending away from buffets and instead toward grab-and-go stations
  • Events are smaller, with more room available for distancing
  • Hosts try to make their event stand out by hiring a bartending cart

Make sure your caterers have proper coverage in place! USLI can consider their general liability, property, liquor liability and umbrella coverage needs. USLI policyholders also have access to the Business Resource Center, which offers discounted food hander training and food manager certification — 100% online.
