As we head into Memorial Day and onto graduation season and outdoor weddings, anyone in the catering industry or restaurants offering banquet orders to-go, now is the time to update your food and beverage transport products. If you’re just getting into this area, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite outdoor event essentials to get you started.
1. Cambro GoBox – These EPP food transport containers are a caterers best friend. Not only are they stackable, lightweight and great for holding in heat or cold, they’re incredibly durable. There are many sizes and styles so you’re sure to find a GoBox that fits your needs.
2. Igloo Glide Pro Cooler – Big enough to hold enough bottled water, sodas or other beverages, this cooler has a 110 quart capacity. It’s also easy on your team because it comes with wheels and a patented telescoping handle so you can push or pull a fully loaded cooler with less effort. The most important feature, however, is that this cooler has thick insulation to hold ice for a maximum of five to six days. It will definitely keep your drinks cool from morning to night.
3. Ice Caddies – Cold drinks are better with ice but if you don’t have an electrical outlet at your location, the best way to make sure you have ice on hand is to load up the Ice Caddy ahead of time. You’ll find ice caddies in a variety of sizes and styles so you’ll find one that fits your business at Cook’s Direct.
>4. Insulated Transport Bag – If you’ve got stairs or spaces that won’t allow you to wheel something in, an Insulated Transport Bag is your best bet to get hot or cold foods to your outdoor event. Our FSE Pizza Bag is a customer favorite because it’s roomy enough to hold a wide variety of products as well as perfect for six pizzas.
5. Igloo 5 Gallon Beverage Cooler – If you’ve got a big crowd, this five gallon beverage cooler/dispenser is a must. Perfect for ice cold water, lemonade, juice, even adult beverages, you can carry, hold and keep cold drinks for a crowd.
