Small Updates Make a Big Difference with Buffet Presentation

Buffets are gaining in popularity again after taking a drastic hit during and after the pandemic. More restaurants and hospitality venues are bringing the buffet back in a big way. Is your buffet in need of an upgrade?

Matt Robinson, an End User Specialist with Johnson Pike, shared his insights on keeping your buffet presentations current and visually appealing. “Minor updates can significantly transform your buffet display, ensuring your banquet space remains contemporary without needing an extensive overhaul,” he said.

Johnson Pike is known for partnering with forward-thinking manufacturers dedicated to innovation; banquet solutions are a big part of that. Matt reveals the secret lies in subtle yet impactful updates to your buffet setup. “The shape, design, and color of your plates and cups, the styling of your flatware, or the presentation platforms for your serving dishes can altogether rejuvenate your display.”
