May Is in the Air. The Perfect Time to Plan a Summer Gathering for Your Team

May is here, bringing with it the first real signs of summer. Outdoor terraces are slowly filling up, people are taking their lunches outside again, and there is a lightness in the city that we have been looking forward to all winter.

And somewhere in an office, maybe just across Prague, colleagues meet by the coffee machine and someone casually says:

“We should do something before everyone disappears on holiday. Let’s enjoy a bit of sunshine together.”

That is exactly why we built Catermat.

Not just because of the food our talented team starts preparing as early as 5 a.m., but because of everything that happens around a shared meal.

We believe that people who eat together also communicate better. When a team sits down at the same table outside, laughs, tastes, shares, and slows down for a moment, something more than just a pleasant break in the workday begins to happen. Relationships are built. Trust grows. Company culture comes alive, not in a presentation, but in everyday moments.

In 2023, we helped more than 200 Prague-based companies create moments like these.

Sometimes it was a big summer party for the whole company. Other times, it was a Tuesday lunch on the terrace for twelve colleagues. Every event was different, but they all had one thing in common: people met each other in a different way than just through calendars, meetings, and work tasks.

And that is the real magic of corporate catering.

It does not always have to be a big event. Sometimes all it takes is a well-prepared lunch, a few tables outside, coffee, something sweet, and a moment when the team can simply be together. Without rushing. Without complicated planning. With good food and an atmosphere people will remember.

If you are thinking about doing something for your team this year, May is the perfect time to start.

June fills up faster than it seems. Summer dates disappear, calendars get packed with holidays, and suddenly it becomes difficult to find a day when the whole team can come together.

We would be happy to help you plan a corporate lunch, breakfast, summer party, or informal terrace gathering. We will take care of the food, preparation, and smooth running of the event, so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying time together with the people you build your company with every day.
