Transforming Year-End Parties with 2nd Table Catering

With the impending year-end party season of 2025, companies are increasingly turning to catering services that can efficiently manage office events. One prominent player in this space is 2nd Table, Inc., which has been executing over 3,000 catering events annually across various office and event venues. Based in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, it offers services that streamline the party process, significantly alleviating the burden on event organizers and enhancing internal communication within companies.

Addressing Communication Challenges

A joint survey conducted in 2024 indicated that many HR representatives feel there are significant challenges in fostering effective communication within their organizations. Pertaining to this, a report from the Recruit Research Institute highlighted a decline in the frequency of office gatherings from approximately 75% in 2017 to around 60% in 2025. Surprisingly, the main expectation from such gatherings remains as a platform for communication, with 40.3% of respondents indicating this as a priority.

To address these communication gaps, 2nd Table proposes an innovative “in-house party” format that can easily be integrated into employees’ schedules, either during work breaks or after hours. This style not only promotes interpersonal connections but also reduces the complexity usually associated with booking external venues and managing logistics.

Simplified Planning and Execution

2nd Table’s comprehensive service provides everything from planning and setting up to cleaning up after the event, which greatly minimizes the workload for event organizers. Compared to traditional parties held at external venues, their model significantly cuts down on travel and reservation adjustments, making it easier for companies to host events even after regular working hours.

Regional Reach and Flexibility

Another standout feature of 2nd Table’s catering service is its broad geographical coverage, with operations in 22 prefectures across Japan, including major cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, and Fukuoka. This allows companies with multiple locations to conduct simultaneous events, often referred to as hybrid parties, thus creating a cohesive experience that unites headquarters and branch offices, regardless of distance.

Diverse Menu Options for Every Occasion

2nd Table offers a flexible menu that can be tailored to different themes and seasons, ranging from light snacks to hearty meals. They provide unique catering options such as “hot oden catering,” beef and ham cutting services, sushi chef demonstrations, and tuna cutting shows that can transform any office into a vibrant event space. Their plans, particularly popular during the year-end party season, balance convenience and artistic presentation.
