- A lit spot for evening service
- Not right beside residents’ rooms

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Check the spot with your manager
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
