GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT USING CATERERS & CATERING SERVICES

CATERING COMES IN ALL FLAVORS AND SIZES

Like events, catering services range in both size and scope. Business types include small one-person operations, single-location companies, multiple-site regional services, branches of national companies and owner-operated franchises.

Almost any kind of food you could want is available from catering services, from vegetable crudites and fingerfood to rack of lamb and whole-hog pit-roasted barbecue. And then there are the desserts — in addition to catering services, specialty bakeries abound. While some caterers specialize in one particular area (clambakes, bbq, vegetarian/vegan, various ethnic foods, etc.), many chefs will customize their menu to suit your wishes.

Caterers can generally handle any size event, from small and intimate to over-the-top large, but always make sure to have your event description, size, location, and date ready before you start checking out catering companies.

When working with caterers of any size, the most important thing is to stay organized and communicate clearly what is expected and when.
