Looking forShopping for a Caterer
When shopping for a caterer, communication is key. Here are some tips to help you in your search:
- Ask plenty of questions. Get the caterer to be specific on all the details.
- Be sure to obtain a list of clients and former clients and call them.
- Is the caterer prompt in returning calls and e-mails? Be wary if a menu or proposal is promised within 48 hours and delivered a week later.
- The caterer should accurately identify all costs and clearly explain them.
- Observe at least one of the caterer's events. The catering staff should be well prepared, professional and efficient. There should be no long lines and everything should be clean and neat.
- Some caterers use contracts and most will ask for a deposit once an agreement is reached. The amount will vary from caterer to caterer.
- The caterer should be willing to offer ways to shave costs without sacrificing the overall quality of the event.
- Remember to be realistic. Top quality products, superbly trained staff, top shelf beverages and high-end rentals can raise the tab in a hurry.
