The difference between corporate catering and other catering is quite simple; corporate catering is the term used when the catering takes place in a corporate setting. Many catering companies will group their catering services into a few categories, including things like Social Catering, Private Catering, Wedding Catering, and Corporate Catering. Whether you’re looking for catering to be delivered to your office, to an employees’ individual home, or to an offsite event, if the purpose of the catering is related to a business need, it would be classified as corporate catering.
The above paragraph explains why the term corporate catering is used, but is there any physical difference between corporate catering and regular catering? Well, it depends. An elegant corporate gala may use a very similar menu, rentals, staffing, and logistics as a wedding for example. In a situation like that, no there wouldn’t be any physical difference between corporate catering and regular catering, other than the classification. But for other situations like daily catered lunches for employees, corporate catering would be very unique. For example you would likely want to have a rotating menu to keep things fresh and so that the employees don’t get tired of the same meals. You may also want meals to be individually packaged with cutlery and utensils, possibly including the employees name on the box of their meal. All of these things are unique to corporate catering, so in situations like these, corporate catering is more than just a classification since the catering itself will have special requirements compared to other catering.
