A good team outing starts with a clear brief. Before comparing food or drinks packages, decide what you want the gathering to do: welcome new colleagues, celebrate a milestone, bring a project team together, or simply make time outside the office.
At Akan Brewing Co in Madhapur, Hyderabad, corporate gatherings can bring together fresh brews, curated food and creative workshop options in a lakeside setting. The current corporate brochure is the starting point for available packages. Here is a practical way to turn it into a plan for your team.
Start with the people and the purpose
Write down the expected guest count, your preferred date and a realistic arrival window. If colleagues are travelling from more than one office, choose an arrival plan that leaves room for people to join without missing the main activity.
Think about the balance you want between conversation, food and an organised activity. A small team catch-up may need a different arrangement from a larger celebration. Sharing that context helps the venue team recommend an appropriate setup.
Build the food and drinks brief around the whole group
Collect dietary preferences before selecting a package. Include vegetarian and other dietary requirements, and flag any allergies for direct discussion with the venue. Ask which menu choices and substitutions are available for the package you are considering.
Also account for colleagues who prefer non-alcoholic drinks. The best planning brief describes the group’s preferences rather than assuming everyone will make the same choice. Review the current brochure for inclusions and ask the team to confirm them for your event date.
Confirm the package details in writing
When you enquire, ask for the current price, applicable taxes, guest minimums if any, service duration and the exact food and drinks included. Do not rely on an old forwarded brochure or a price remembered from a previous visit.
If your headcount may change, ask how and when the final number needs to be confirmed. It is also useful to clarify payment, cancellation and rescheduling terms before you finalise the booking.
Match the space to the occasion
Akan has indoor and open-air settings across three floors, overlooking Durgam Cheruvu. Describe whether your group wants a seated meal, a more informal catch-up, or an activity followed by food. Ask the team which area is available for that plan.
If you would like outdoor seating, discuss what happens if the weather changes. If your event needs presentation equipment, a microphone, decorations or a particular layout, ask specifically what can be arranged; do not assume those facilities are included in a package.
Ask about an activity, then leave breathing room
The corporate offering includes creative workshop options. Check which workshops are currently available, how long they run, and whether they suit your group size. A simple running order is often enough: arrivals, an optional activity, food and time to talk.
Leave some flexibility between those parts. An outing should feel comfortable for the group, rather than like another calendar filled with back-to-back meetings.
