Food Menu and Catering experience? Foodie? Then you'll love this task! I need you to write a catering menu that features tasty menu items for a drop-off catering service. Trendy but not weird. Easy to prepare, but not dull. Simple but not too short. Perhaps a mix of some typical and some trendy. Food for foodies and food for average tastes, a little of both. New, modern, easy to deliver hot and cold foods and beverages. Casseroles and Hot Meals that can be delivered in a drop-off container and set-up for self-service. Hot Pizzas that can be delivered in Pizza Box and served immediately. Sandwich Platters or Box Lunches for self-serve. Trays of Breakfast Muffins or Desserts for drop-off and self-serve. Get the picture? I am looking for menu ideas with descriptions, and realistic approximate costs for individual or multiple servings. That is the main purpose of this task. Please provide numerous examples for each category (ie 5 Box Lunches, 3 Burgers, 4 Hot Sandwiches, etc.). Categories: Breakfast & Brunch, Coffee & Sweets * Box Lunches, Sandwich Platters, Cold Sandwiches, Hot Sandwiches, Hot Burger, Chicken & Steak Sandwiches * Fresh Salads, Hot Soups & Bread * Hot Meals, Stews & Casseroles for Lunch and Dinner * Pizza Note: No deep-fried foods, only foods that can be freshly prepared and easily held for 1-2 or several hours. This menu will be uploaded to several catering sites. I need to be able to modify it, so a Word or Excel Document is fine. Best real estimates of typical pricing needs to be included, with accurate examples of quantities and per person costs. One example might be a platter that serves 25-30 people, another might be an per person charge for a sandwich, side, dessert, drink. How do you give me a real example of cost? Compare your samples to those of other caterers and give it your best estimate. This researched information helps us determine quantities and average charges per person. If it is not reasonable or average, it will not be helpful, so please pay close attention to this matter. Please think creatively, be original, do not copy others, use them for inspiration. I am attaching a sample of something that we like - do not copy - find others that are similar and use for inspiration. We want simple originality. Do not list Pepperoni Pizza or Turkey Sandwich - those are not original. This is better: "Pizza Harvest: Roasted Red Pepper, Onion & Oyster Mushrooms with seasoned Pepperoni. 14" Artisan Pizza, serves 2-4. $15." See, it's traditional, but with a trendy twist. People will be interested to try it. Not looking for weird, organic, grass-fed, sprouted wheat, quinoa, or other fad type foods or even ethnic items to dominate any category. An occasional ethnic food item may be used, for example: Mexican Chipotle Turkey Wrap - this is fine. Enchiladas or Burritos, no. Italian Sausage as a topping for Pizza, yes. Italian Spaghetti, no. Beef Noodle Stew, yes; this is an slightly different method than the traditional Beef Stew made with potatoes, but still easily understood by the average American. This business is located in East Tennessee, part of the "middle south". Not too southern, but sorta southern. Would like a little.... southern flair incorporated into the menu, but looking for menus that appeal to people from all over the country as this is located in a tourist destination. A good resource to check out is the EZCater site for up to date inspiration and menu trends. Please read through this description and ask yourself if your abilities meet the guidelines of this request. Let me know if you have any questions. Remember, our main purpose is to generate simple, trendy new menu ideas with realistic pricing for the purpose of inspiring a catering menu. We may hire several individuals to complete this task. Please leave a detailed message letting me know WHY YOU are right for this job. Thank you very much.
