At Catering Works, we understand you are planning a very important, and often once-in-a-lifetime social event, there are significant details and coordination and care that we consider paramount to the success of your specific occasion. Before you entrust your special day to anyone, here are some points to consider: *Your menu should be well balanced and well thought-out. A menu consultation that focuses on your input and your personal likes and dislikes, and then marries them with food knowledge, current trends and overall recipe balance is ideal. If you are asked to "pick from a list" you may not be getting full-service treatment. *Does your caterer operate a commercial kitchen? Do they maintain a Grade "A" status with the county health department? If you are ever uncertain, ask to see the catering kitchen, whether food is prepared at the caterer's location or an on-site kitchen, cleanliness and sanitation should be evident at all times. *Is your caterer on the approved venue list? Many Special Event venues limit the number of outside caterers, consult your desired venue for more information. *Does your caterer carry the required liability insurance; worker's compensation, general liability, automobile liability and liquor liability? *Will your caterer offer you an opportunity to taste test food prior to your event? *Can your caterer provide you with a reliable list of references? *Does your caterer provide you with a comprehensive proposal, complete with all food, beverage, setup & service components required to successfully execute your event?
