Questions To Ask A Caterer Before Hiring Them

Professional catering is an amazing way to make an event a huge success. But before hiring a catering company there are a lot of factors that you should keep in mind. When choosing a caterer for a reception, wedding, corporate event or a party, you have to be careful. The catering company you choose has to fulfill a number of tasks. They have to prepare and serve food to your guests. Remember, the careless handling of food during preparation and serving can disappoint your guests. By asking catering companies a few questions, you can make a well-informed decision that will help you avoid any kind of chaos.

Question no 1: Where will the caterer prepare the food?
Catering companies must prepare the food in a commercial kitchen that has all the facilities and has been inspected. They cannot prepare food in a residential kitchen or a place that is not clean. The inspection ensures that the company is following all the safety rules and regulations. Unfortunately, there are a lot of catering companies that do not follow the guidelines, possibly putting you and your guests at risk.


Question no 2: How does the company hold food at the proper temperature?
Delivering the food from the kitchen to the event venue requires the caterer to hold the dishes at a proper temperature. The catering company should always use containers. Moreover, all the food should be stored and held at a proper temperature based on the rules of the health department. Make sure you ask the caterer how will they ensure that the food is fresh.

Question no 3: Does the catering company has a safety certification?
The health department has drafted a set of rules and regulations for caterers as well as restaurants. Before hiring the company, make sure you check whether the company has a certified food protection manager. All the staff must have proper training and a valid food handler’s card.

Asking the right questions never hurt. Choosing the right catering company is very important and sometimes a challenging task. Do your research and be prepared. Do not get confused by cheap prices and doubtful companies that promise you the world and deliver you nothing. So make sure you ask the right questions.
