Create Hype

Once you’ve selected the venue the date and time it’s time to circulate invitation around the office place. Whether it's through social media or a written invitation for all departments, send out a message to everyone at the office especially higher-ups. RSVP is essential too so follow up with your guests to get an estimate about the number of people attending.

Arrange For Seating

The layout of the venue should allow maximum attention to fall on to the contestant teams. Place seats around the booths but behind the main table where the judges will be seated.

Get The Right Supplies

Stoves, signage, ingredients, cooking utensil and everything you can think of that the contestants may require should reach the venue well before time along with any electronics that may be needed. Also, set up different booths for the different teams participating in the event.

Arrange For Judges

Send out exclusive invitations to the higher-ups in the organization to invite them for their expert opinion about the event and the winning teams! It’s important to set up a proper booth for the judges so they can see all that’s going on and assess the teamwork that the employees are performing.

Audio Visual Systems

Get the funniest guy at the workplace to be the commentators, so everyone remains amused throughout the event!

Take Away!
