Understand what your needs are

\r\n

No two events are alike. You have different needs and the first thing you need to know is what exactly you have and what you need. What is the budget you have? What kind of event is it going to be? Do you require good corporate catering or is it for a family gathering? How many people are going to be there? all of these are important information that you should have before you start requesting for quotations. This will make it much easier when communicating with the caterer and will help you find the best menu and the best caterer for the job.

Pay attention to the communication

\r\n

Customer service is a big deal. If you realize that the caterers you speak to seem rushed or delay getting back to you, it may be wise to not choose them. This is because the chances are if you hire them, then communicating with them will be tough. They may not get back to you on time and may be unavailable for urgent requests or adjustments. When speaking to potential caterers, see how much they pay attention to your request. Do they ask you about the type of event you are going to host, your budget, your concerns, your needs, is it a small function catering Brisbane or a big one etc., if they are asking these to you before you tell them then chances are they are interested in you as a customer and care about the event you are planning to host. If they don’t ask these questions and you have to remember to let them know, then chances are that they may not care much for details and see you as just a customer. This is not necessarily bad but it is better to go with a caterer who seems to care for your event than just see it as another job.
