4 Tips for an Effective Team Outing Cooking

Action 1. Pick a Style, Layout, and Place For Your team outing

Pick a theme for your occasion. And, make sure that the theme of your event aligns with what is exciting or essential for the people you want to invite to the workshop.

Choosing a themed workshop that aligns with your team’s likes will undoubtedly make it more simple to find interested participants and encourage your teammates to engage.

Are you interested in learning about American BBQ? Does the thought of cooking with insects excite you and your team? Is whiskey a passion for everyone you work with, and cooking with whiskey would be an epic offsite event?

Next off, figure out the layout of your cooking class for this particular team outing. For example, will this occasion be focused on international cuisine or regional cuisine? Will you be creating dishes together, or will you also include drinks? How hands-on will the team outing be for each participant?

And ultimately, choose the right location for your outing. For example, do you need to present from your computer first? Can the venue accommodate this? What is the cost of the platform? Is parking included?

At KEUKENvuur, you can choose from various theme workshops, and our facilities are perfect for an event with your team! We offer free parking, we have facilities that you can use for presentations with your team before cooking, and our offerings are so popular that we have become a household name in our area!

Step 2. Gain attention for Your Event!

 

As soon as you have defined your theme and the location, it is essential to promote your event to get everyone to attend! Whether you have invited your team, or are trying to attract new people, below are some tips to spread the word about your event and encourage excited participants to engage:

  • Share the information of your occasion with your e-mail listing.
  • Create a Facebook Event online and also invite everyone from your team.
  • Set up flyers in your office and around your cube space.
  • Remind everyone one week and one day before the event, so no one forgets.
  • Make sure you are available to answer everyone’s questions so they are more likely to attend on the day of the event.
  • Hang a sign-up sheet on the wall in your office, so everyone remembers they have committed to attending!

 

Step 3. Arrange, Plan & Store

Now that you’ve chosen a style, theme, and venue, as well as started to spread the word around the office about your upcoming cooking class, it’s time to finalize the rest of your event information!

If you are educating everyone with a specific cooking class or workshop as your team outing, determine which recipes your individuals will make and what ingredients to acquire to have enough food for every person.

Search for dishes that match the subject of your occasion. For instance, if you want to provide a class that offers healthier cooking options and balanced breakfasts, you might search for essential overnight oats dishes.

Again, we can work directly with you to make sure the menu of the workshop aligns with everything you want for your team event.

From here, include which recipes you want in your plan, and once you have the total headcount, make a list so you know the total number of servings you will need to make.

Step 4. Create handouts to give away during the outing, so everyone is on the same page on your team outing

 

Whether you’re instructing a cooking class or a workshop or attending a workshop led by one of our professional chefs, a printable schedule or handout can be very helpful for your team.

Supply guests with some information to take home with them after the event; whether you choose a list of recipes or links to learn more about the food they made, it can be beneficial.

If you have chosen a regional cuisine to cook, provide some background on the food, why it is exciting or essential, and why you chose the theme! And, if you have no clue where to begin making your handout, we always recommend Canva.

Canva will undoubtedly save you time and money when developing and designing the products on your own.

Summary.
