Title: 5 Essentials to Finding the Right Food Caterer

5 Essentials to Finding the Right Food Caterer
2
  • When looking for a caterer, the first step is to
    list down all the details about the event.

3
Food Caterer
  • Youd want to be sure about the date and the
    location.
  • There are venues that charge guests for
    bringing their own caterer so be sure to clear
    this one up prior booking.
  • If the rate you will have to pay is not worth
    the extra expense, then move on to your other
    options.

4
Hiring The Right Caterer
  • Find out as well if your guests have special
    dietary concerns.
  • You need to discuss with your caterer possible
    options if you have kid guests or guests with
    allergies on particular ingredients. 
  • Also, note that the best caterers are usually
    fully-booked months in advance. Start the search
    as soon as possible.
  • Here are few more tips to making sure youre
    hiring the right caterer

5
Look Into The Company Background
  • If its a small business, chances are they
    are preparing food at home and using their family
    car as service.
  • If its a larger catering business, on the
    other hand, theyre likely to have their own
    equipment or kitchen.
  • Either way, youd want to be sure that they
    have been in the industry long enough to still be
    there during your event.
  • You dont want to pay for a deposit only to
    find out that the caterer has already ceased
    operations.   

6
Check Out Reviews and Testimonials
  • Finding the right food caterer is also about
    finding the right partners for your events.
  • To make sure that you have found the right food
    caterer, it is important to check out the
    companies reviews and testimonials.
  • This will help you see how many were satisfied
    with their food and their service.
  • This will give you a gauge to how good your
    potential food caterer is and so that you can
    avoid any food caterer that does not meet your
    needs.

7
Inquire About The Catering Process
  • Talk to your caterer about the ratio of food
    servers to guests. You will need to factor in the
    number of servers because this can add up to the
    total cost you will be charged for.
  • Ask as well if the staff are direct employees
    of the caterer or are hired from an agency.Do
    inquire too about workers insurance for your
    peace of mind.
  • Make it clear if the caterers will take care of
    setting up tables and chairs as well as tearing
    them down. While youre on it, mention the server
    attire as well.

8
Do A Taste Test
  • Make sure that you sample the menu from the
    catering packages.
  • Require that a sample be served for each course.
  • Youd want to know as well about the serving
    size.

9
Read The Contract Carefully
  • Once you have chosen a caterer, make sure that
    everything stated in the contract is clear to you
    and the catering team.
  • Check the breakdown of costs to avoid duplication
    or unnecessary charges.
  • Make sure that all your questions are covered on
    this part to avoid any inconveniences on the
    event date itself. 

10

    from you during events and lets you relax and
