common mistakes to avoid while choosing a caterer
TRANSCRIPT
Hiring an Inexperienced Caterer
To get the best food delivered to your event, you should hire the best caterer. But, do not make the
mistake of hiring an inexperienced caterer. An experienced caterer will know the job according to the event and number of guests. Check the caterer's previous projects to know how long they have been
working in catering industry.
Choosing a Caterer on the Basis of Price
When you are choosing a caterer by considering their low prices, that means somewhere you are
compromising. Whether it is with the quality of food or the level of customer service, you will have to
compromise something. Lower prices usually mean lower quality of food and service. Caterers reduce
cost by using frozen products or unhealthy products. So, avoid this blunder.
Not having a Proper Budget Plan
It is usually suggested to start your search for a caterer after deciding your budget for the event. Not having a budget will lead you to cost overrun, which will be
harmful for your finances. You should make your guest list and the number of food items you wish to serve. Accordingly, decide how much you will be
able to spend on the catering.
Not Checking the Reviews of a Caterer’s Former Clients
Since everything is easily available on the internet now, turning a blind eye to the reviews of a caterer’s
former clients will be a mistake. Check clients' reviews about your chosen caterer on the internet or
get verbal feedbacks if you know them. Before hiring one, check a caterer’s reviews and then
proceed.
