• Food: It is true that tasty burgers, hot dogs and ribs are the most requested items for BBQ entrées but you may want to include a few vegetarian menu items for your non-carnivore guests. Besides the traditional beans, slaw, tater salad and meat be sure to select a few add on items such as corn on the cob, garlic mashed potatoes or grilled zucchini to add variety to your BBQ menu. Don’t forget the dessert choices that can be as simple as watermelon wedges or our specially baked pies.

• Easy as Pie: Checkers brings everything you need to make your event work smooth and easy. Linens, extra thick paper plates, utensils, napkins, beverage bins and condiments are all included in your delivery. And best of all, Checkers makes clean up a breeze, leaving you with nothing but satisfaction.

• Location: A great location for a company picnic is the company parking lot that offers an open flat surface for tables, grills and food areas. Our planners can also help with the selection of local parks or public picnic areas to accommodate your guest list. Checkers includes special citronella candles and food netting to help with bug control.

• Sun Coverage: Checkers can provide umbrella tables to help shield guests from overhead sun or even larger tents for the undercover provisioning. We also offer tents and canopies for covering the food areas that contain food nettings for bug control. These colorful canopies and umbrellas also add to the overall aesthetic of your BBQ event.

• Grillers & Service Staff: You don’t have to sacrifice the smell and ambiance that outdoor cooking instills into the actual event. Checkers can supply all the charcoal, grills, chefs and servers to host your BBQ with ultimate style and professionalism.

• Entertainment: Talk to your Checkers event planner about alternative entertainment for your BBQ bash such as clowns, magicians, performers or any other type of entertainment that will make your event a special occasion.

• Plan in the Fun: Remember to plan in the fun aspect of the BBQ event. Gingham table clothes with scarf accents, hay bales, giant sunflowers, wheelbarrows and other outdoor props are available to help accent your BBQ theme.

• Temperature Sensitive: If your BBQ is planned in the heat of summer be sure to plan in extra ice and plenty of water or non-alcoholic beverages for your guests.
