Set up <strong>double buffet lines<\/strong>. Pull those tables away from the wall and have lines going down both sides of the table.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Call tables up<\/strong> to get food. Your guests can visit while they are waiting and it eliminates standing for long periods of time which can be difficult for some of your older women.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Place your salads and desserts on the table<\/strong> before the event begins. It also\u00a0removes the temptation to<a title=\"Reno Project #1: Excessive Decorations\" href=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/reno-decorations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> over-decorate <\/a>the tables.<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Increase the number of servers and kitchen help.<\/strong> Enlist youth and college students if you are struggling to find men in your church that are willing\/able to serve. A good rule of thumb is at least one server per table \u2013 2 is even better!<\/p>\n<p>5. If you are distributing box lunches or pre-packaged meals set up <strong>multiple pick-up stations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>6. Utilize <strong>separate beverage and dessert stations<\/strong> with pre-filled drinks and plated desserts. Place someone there to re-fill and pour to keep things moving.<\/p>\n<p>7. Buffet style for a large group? Set up <strong>multiple buffet stations<\/strong> (with the same foods). The more lines you have the faster they will move.<\/p>\n<p>8. <strong>Pre-portion any food you can.<\/strong> Cut cakes, brownies, pies, quiche, casseroles, etc. so that your women can scoop rather than scoop <em>and<\/em> cut.<\/p>\n<p>9. Put a suitable <strong>serving utensil with every single dish<\/strong>. Load up on utensils at The Dollar Store. This is a great help for those with food allergies too.<\/p>\n<p>10. Juggling silverware at a buffet slows down the line. Either <strong>place the silverware on the tables or wrap it all nicely in a napkin<\/strong> so it\u2019s easy to carry.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Your turn to share: What do you do to speed up the food service at your events?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"httpwwwwome08-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"My Amazon Picks\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"9667056c2a5eb2c6449b89cbeaabea01\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B00OBA74FE,B01GYA47D0,B016P9A7J8,B06Y3SQC4M,B06XGMVKW1\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\n<strong>You may also want to read:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/tip-7\/\">Transform Your Coffee Station<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/food-allergies\/\">Addressing Diets and Food Allergies<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/fellowship-food-fix\/\">Fellowship Food Fix<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/friday-findings-food-bars\/\">8 Food Bar Ideas<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/view.flodesk.com\/pages\/5f243fdad78ced0026f8345d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5815\" src=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/subscribe-button-2016.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/subscribe-button-2016.png 590w, https:\/\/womensministrytoolbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/subscribe-button-2016-300x48.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The speed at which food is served at Women\u2019s Ministry events can make or break your schedule and your guest\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[148,46],"class_list":["post-2297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-resources","tag-buffet","tag-food"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Serve Food Faster at Your Next Women&#039;s Ministry Event - Women&#039;s Ministry Toolbox<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Don&#039;t make your women wait and avoid serving cold food.
