The programme around the meal

Where the meal falls in the day

Food isn't an afterthought at a team outing, because it shapes how the rest of the day goes. A big lunch halfway drains the energy: people slump and the next activity is slow to start. Drinks at the start do the opposite and make the first task messy. So early in the conversation we ask what food and drink is planned and at what time.

In Zwolle, groups usually arrange the catering themselves, through their own staff restaurant or a place nearby. We don't need to do anything about it. We just want to know what time it's on and how long it lasts. With those two details we put the heavier activities before it and the quieter ones after. If the meal runs over, we have an activity in reserve that we can shorten without the group noticing anything has gone. We bring equipment, technology and hosting. You provide the room and the power.

What we want to know beforehand

  • What time the meal is and how long it lasts
  • Whether there are drinks before or after the programme
  • How much time there is between activities

How we structure the day

  • The most demanding activity before lunch
  • Something calmer afterwards, so nobody has to sprint
  • A finish that suits whatever comes next

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to arrange the food ourselves?

You arrange the food yourselves, through your own staff restaurant or a place nearby. We provide the programme and take the timing into account in the schedule. Tell us beforehand what time it's on, and we'll build the activities around it.

Can the programme carry on during the meal?

It can carry on during the meal, but we usually advise against it. People are sitting with a plate in front of them and listening with half an ear. A short activity at the table does work, for example a round where nobody has to stand up.

What happens if lunch overruns?

We absorb overruns within the programme. There's always an activity we can shorten without the group noticing that something has been dropped. The end time stays as it is, even if the meal is ready half an hour late.

What does a half day cost for a team of twenty?

For a team of twenty people, a half day starts at €195. That includes an activity with hosting, the equipment and the set-up beforehand. If you want a second activity after it, we charge that on top, so the total goes up.
