Are you planning a wedding, corporate event, or other special occasion? If so, you’ll need to find a catering company that can provide the food and drinks for your guests. With so many catering companies out there, it can be hard to choose the right one. That’s why we’ve put together this list of 7 tips to help you make the best decision possible!
1. Always Schedule a Tasting
When you’re considering a catering company, always schedule a tasting beforehand. This will give you a chance to sample the food and see if it’s up to your standards. If the catering company doesn’t offer tastings, move on to someone who does.
2. Check References and Reviews
Before you hire a catering company, be sure to check out their references and reviews. This will help you gauge their level of quality and service.
3. Venue Familiarity Is a Plus
If the catering company you’re considering is familiar with your venue, that’s a big plus. They’ll know the lay of the land and how to best set up their kitchen and serving areas.
4. Look for Flexibility
When you’re choosing a catering company, look for one that’s flexible. They should be able to accommodate your guest list, dietary restrictions, and other requests.
5. Consider Your Specific Situation
When you’re choosing a catering company, be sure to consider your specific situation. If you’re planning a large event, you’ll need a catering company that can handle that type of volume. On the other hand, if you’re planning a more intimate gathering, you can go with a smaller company.
6. Ask to See Certifications
When you’re choosing a catering company, be sure to ask if they are certified. This will ensure that they have the proper licenses and insurance.
7. Go With Your Gut
In the end, you should go with your gut when choosing a catering company. If you have a good feeling about a particular company, they’re probably the right choice for you.
We hope these tips help you choose the best catering company for your next event!
