Beginning November 1, Holiday Catering Orders Placed Before December 1 receive 15% off
Charlotte, NC (RestaurantNews.com) Holiday catering should make entertaining easier, not create another holiday chore. Whether feeding the office, gathering family and friends or planning a year-end celebration, the right choice comes down to the essentials: food people want to eat, freshness, variety, flexibility and dependable service.
For holiday hosts weighing those choices, Charlotte-based Viva Chicken® offers a useful checklist. Its Peruvian-inspired catering program pairs fresh ingredients and customizable menus with seven-day delivery, options for a variety of tastes and dietary preferences, and a holiday incentive for those ready to plan.
“The holidays are about bringing people together, and the food should help make that easier,” said Sharyn Knight, Director of Marketing for Viva Chicken. “Our goal is to give hosts one less thing to worry about while still putting something memorable on the table.”
10 HOLIDAY CATERING ESSENTIALS – AND HOW VIVA CHECKS THE BOXES
1. WILL PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO EAT IT? – FLAVOR
Start with the centerpiece. Viva Chicken specializes in authentic Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa: fresh, all-natural chicken marinated for more than 24 hours in a traditional Peruvian spice blend, then slow-roasted over open flames in custom charcoal rotisserie ovens. In its 13-year history, Viva Chicken has carefully crafted and served more than 5 million chickens.
2. IS IT FRESH? – QUALITY
Holiday catering shouldn’t taste as if it came from an assembly line. Viva Chicken preps wholesome, vibrant produce daily, makes its signature sauces and juices fresh each day and prepares its chicken using the same marinating and charcoal-roasting process that anchors the restaurant menu.
3. CAN I PLEASE EVERYONE? – VARIETY
One guest wants chicken. Another wants a bowl. Someone else is eating vegetarian. Viva offers multiple catering formats, including chicken packages with sides and its build-your-own Tacu Bar. While chicken is the specialty, Viva says 70% of its menu can be made vegetarian.
4. CAN I MAKE IT FIT MY EVENT? – CUSTOMIZATION
A holiday office lunch differs from a family gathering, and a party of 15 differs from a celebration for 75. Hosts can customize orders with package choices, sides, sauces and build-your-own options.
5. WILL IT BE HOT, READY AND ON TIME? – RELIABILITY
Catering only works when the food does. Public feedback on Viva Chicken’s catering page praises organized pickup, careful packaging, on-time delivery and hot food. One customer summed it up: “The food was freshly made, hot, and absolutely delicious!”
6. DO I HAVE TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING? – CONVENIENCE
Viva catering includes plates, plasticware and serving utensils, with disposable warming racks available for an additional charge. Sauces are included based on the size and type of order – fewer last-minute runs for forgotten essentials.
7. CAN THEY HANDLE MY KIND OF HOLIDAY GATHERING? – VERSATILITY
From office gatherings and corporate meetings to home celebrations and larger parties, Viva Chicken catering supports a wide range of occasions. Customer feedback published by Viva includes repeat corporate use, with executives specifically requesting the brand for Charlotte meetings.
8. HOW FAR AHEAD DO I HAVE TO PLAN? – FLEXIBILITY
Viva recommends placing catering orders 24 hours in advance, while guests with last-minute needs can call a catering specialist to discuss what may still be accommodated. Delivery is available seven days a week. And for those ready to commit early, holiday catering orders placed from November 1 through November 30 receive 15% off.
9. DOES IT FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SPECIAL? – DIFFERENT
The holidays do not need another forgettable tray of food. Viva Chicken brings a genuine Peruvian food tradition to the table. Co-Founder Chef Bruno Macchiavello was born and raised in Peru and built the restaurant around sharing the flavors, cooking traditions and hospitality of his home country with American guests.
10. DOES IT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER? – THE WHOLE POINT
For Viva Chicken, Pollo a la Brasa has always been about more than chicken. Macchiavello has described the Peruvian tradition as one centered on bringing people together around the table – a natural fit for the season when gathering matters most.
