A few years ago, Alvida started making its services more sustainable, so that we provide the events and parties for our customers in an environmentally conscious way with the climate as a starting point. We would like to take you through the steps we have taken.
We use the paperless office principle. Almost all internal and external documentation is sent digitally as much as possible. This includes contracts, quotes, invoices and other means of communication. All documents are stored on encrypted hard drives, which also ensures the security of our customers' data. These hard drives are encrypted and are stored in various safes.
Both at our location and at our customers' location, we only use LED lighting and energy-efficient equipment. This applies to, among other things, the lighting, the ambient lighting, the colored LED spots and the bar lighting. All our cranes have a water-saving aerator. This means that we saved 40% and 50% on water use in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
In recent years, transport reduction has helped us to go back to half of our fleet. By focusing efficiently on transport and the use of energy-efficient cars, we are contributing a very big step in reducing CO2 emissions.
Waste prevention, and in particular combating food waste. Using energy efficiently and creating recyclable packaging often result in less waste. The waste generated in our production is separated and processed daily so that 98% of our waste can be recycled.
Our products are produced by sustainable cultivation, so that no or less damage is caused to biodiversity, ecosystems, water and climate. Better for the environment, so better for you, that's why we work with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients.
Last but not least, an honest presentation. During an event, buffet, barbecue or food market, the presentation is of course just as important as the points mentioned above. We make extensive use of recycled products in the presentation of our dishes. This includes the well-known wooden crates, beautiful and responsible decorative items that we maintain in-house so that they can be used again at any event. You will also find our famous spice crates at all our buffets, food markets and barbecue events so that your guests cut the herbs themselves, it couldn't be fresher! In addition, where possible, we work with biodegradable disposables and the materials we use are purchased completely sustainably.
I contacted me very quickly by phone in response to my request for a quote. Available late and at the weekend for questions. Clear explanation of the options. All advantages, so personal, thoughtful and service-oriented as serious, quality-oriented and attention to detail.
There is quite a bit of price difference among the caterers when it comes to bbq in terms of range and options. Alvida is certainly not the cheapest, but in terms of service, completeness and luxury, it was definitely worth it and you can definitely see and taste the differences. During the bbq, several guests have already asked the name of the caterer and how I got it... had lots of compliments! I will definitely use Alvida again in the future for both a private occasion and a business occasion.
Alvida Catering is definitely worth it considering the service and quality! Just a little bit more luxurious, an eye for detail, decoration and appearance and very customer-oriented.
Alvida provided the catering
during our FlowerTrials event in Rijsenhout. I am very pleased with this collaboration. Roy-Alexander and Raoul are both great to work with and they think along with you to make the event a success. Not entirely unimportant is that the food and drinks were well taken care of and very tasty. That's why I can definitely recommend Alvida!
Alvida Catering & Events quickly took up our request for a quote and provided us with an appropriate and surprising first proposal. Adjustments and even increasing the number of people a week prior to our event were addressed immediately and smoothly. The personal contact was very nice, both by phone to prepare for the event and on site during the event. We thought carefully about how to furnish the interior and make the view as beautiful as possible. The decorated bar also matched perfectly in our completely renovated kitchen showroom. The staff was very pleasant to work with and the snacks and drinks were delicious. In between, empty glasses, etc. were actively cleaned up, so that it also remained tidy. Afterwards, the cleaning up (partly at our own request) went amazingly well. In short: our wishes have been fully realised in all areas. We are very grateful!
