Let’s face it – we’d all forget important things if we didn’t write them down or follow a checklist of sorts. The same goes for when you’re trying to find a catering service for your office party, business meeting or networking event. Before you go ahead and choose any random caterer, make sure you’re asking them the following questions:
Variety – do you offer a variety of food options or am I limited to a specific menu? This is especially important because not everyone has the same palate and with hundreds of different food allergies out there, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got something for everyone.
Seasonality – we all know how much better food tastes when it’s fresh and in-season so don’t let down your staff or your clients by serving them something below par. Seasonality is key and that’s why we choose to include farm-fresh foods and plant-based catering options daily.
Accuracy – ever been to a meeting, party or conference where there simply wasn’t enough food to go around? That’s no fun for anyone and that’s why accuracy is vital.
Timeliness – you’ve got a schedule to stick to and respect that. You can’t afford to have the food show up late or not at all because the boss is going straight to you and you don’t need that stress. Make sure you choose a caterer who is punctual and can have things ready when they need to be ready.
Pro Set Up – some companies simply prepare the food, deliver it and leave, but not us! We’ll also take care of setting up the spreads, the tables, the chairs, the drinks, etc. and we won’t leave until everything is taken care of.
Uniformed Drivers – put simply, it says a lot about the professionalism and service of the company when even the drivers show up in uniform. It’s not all about how you look, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to look presentable at all times.
