Top 10 Questions to Ask a Caterer Before You Book

Booking a caterer isn’t just about food, it’s about reliability, experience, and fit. Here are 10 essential questions to ask any catering company before signing on the dotted line:

1. Are you available on my date?

2. Do you specialize in my type of event?

3. Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

4. What’s included in your pricing?

5. Do you provide staff and rentals?

6. How do tastings work?

7. When is the final guest count due?

8. What is your cancellation/refund policy?

9. How do you handle last-minute changes?

10. Can I see photos or reviews from similar events?

    
    

Asking these questions ensures you’re hiring not just a caterer, but a true event partner. At Foodstuffs, we encourage transparency and love answering these during our first consult.
