Whether this is your first time ordering corporate catering or you found yourself disappointed by your last catering experience, knowing what to ask a catering company before putting your event’s food in their hands is the first step in ensuring a good experience. Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken of Cincinnati, Ohio, gives customers the inside information on the top four questions everyone should ask any potential chicken catering company.

Top 4 Questions for a Corporate Catering Company 

What Is Your Policy for Substitutions & Dietary Restrictions? 

One of your guests may have a dietary restriction that prohibits them from partaking in certain food groups. Knowing whether a potential catering service can accommodate these restrictions and provide vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or kosher options is crucial in choosing a menu everyone can enjoy.

What Do You Provide & What Am I Expected to Provide?

Whether or not a potential catering company provides tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and wait staff can have a dramatic effect on your financial bottom line. When interviewing potential companies, ask exactly what they bring and what you are expected to provide. Then, do a cost analysis to make sure this is the right fit for you.

Can I Speak With References? 

A business is only as good as the reputation it generates. There are few better ways to get the real scoop on the service a company provides than by speaking with satisfied customers. If a company cannot or will not provide a list of references, that’s a big red flag.

What Is Your Policy on Last-Minute Requests?

Anyone who has ever planned a large-scale event knows that there are inevitably at least one or two last-minute requests for changes to the menu. Find out ahead of time whether a corporate catering company will honor these requests without additional charge to save yourself a headache the day before a big event.
