Hosting a corporate event at Chows in Banani is simple and elegant. The restaurant offers private dining, a business lunch package, and authentic Cantonese dishes such as dim sum, roast meats and seafood. Follow this practical guide to plan a smooth, memorable dinner for your team.
1. Choose the Right Date and Time
Chows is open daily from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, giving you flexibility for lunch meetings or evening dinners. Aim to book at least one week in advance, especially for larger groups, to ensure the private dining area is available.
2. Decide on the Event Format
Chows caters to two main corporate formats:
Business Lunch Package
A set menu that includes dim sum, congee, and a selection of rice or noodle dishes, perfect for a quick yet impressive midday meeting.
Private Dinner or Celebration
Reserve the private dining space for a more formal dinner. You can customize the menu with a variety of Cantonese specialties, from steamed shrimp dumplings to roasted duck (Cantonese style), and finish with mango pudding.
3. Build Your Menu
Visit the online menu to explore all options. For corporate events, consider a balanced mix:
- Dim sum platter (siu mai, har gow, pork dumplings)
- Signature roast meats (char siu, soy‑glazed pork)
- Seafood dishes (steamed fish, garlic prawns)
- Vegetable and noodle sides
- Traditional desserts (egg tarts, sesame balls)
Ask the staff if you need a vegetarian or gluten‑free adaptation.
4. Send a Clear Booking Request
Provide the following details in your inquiry:
- Preferred date and time
- Number of guests
- Requested format (business lunch or private dinner)
- Any dietary restrictions
Submit the request through the contact page. The team will confirm availability and discuss any special arrangements.
5. Plan the Logistics
Consider these logistical points:
- Arrival time for the host to greet guests
- Audio‑visual needs – Chows can accommodate a small projector on request
- Parking – there is street parking nearby; you may arrange a valet service if needed
Confirm these details when you receive the booking confirmation.
6. Communicate the Details to Your Team
Send an agenda that includes:
- Venue address (Banani, Dhaka)
- Start and end times
- Dress code (business casual is appropriate)
- Menu highlights to build excitement
This helps attendees know what to expect and prepares them for any networking activities.
7. On the Day of the Event
Arrive 15 minutes early to meet the manager, review the table layout, and ensure any AV equipment is set up. The staff will serve the dim sum and courses promptly, allowing your team to focus on conversation and business goals.
8. Follow Up
