For whatever event being discussed, talking parties, weddings, funerals and even corporate events, one important aspect we can never disregard is the presence of food. We are guessing if you were to organise an event, you would hire the services of an event caterer to take care of all food related aspects of the event, which beyond any reasonable doubt would be more than helpful . But is it every caterer we can trust to do a great job? Sometimes we can say "yes", maybe because we have experienced their services once or a couple of times. But what if it is not so and this happens to be our first encounter with them? If you ask us here, we suggest the tips listed below would be of great help when looking for a good event caterer.
ABILITY TO LISTEN
Obviously one outstanding quality a good event caterer should posses is the ability to listen and pay close attention to a clients wants and needs. Possessing this quality increases the possibility that the caterer would produce expected results and with a touch of other qualities like experience, beat expectations to set a memorable mark.
PASSION FOR PROFESSION
Having passion for your profession on a higher level shows how willing you are and will be to go the extra mile just to get the job done right. Passion can be the number one key determining factor to show how well a caterer will deliver.
SPECIALIZATION
There are lots of event caterers out there you can hire but with regards to exactly the event you are organising, we should do well to know a caterers specialization. some caterers do so well with weddings but not kids birthday parties, or very good with serving corporate events but not funerals. With this in mind, knowing the caterers specialization will help you select the right caterer for your right event.
ABILITY TO WORK UNDER PRESSURE
As a caterer, trying your best to meet expectations in terms of cooking, organisation, delivering and serving, most of the time comes with a lot of pressure. Making sure your event caterer would be able to work under pressure is another quality worth considering. With this, in case of any unexpected emergency, we will still be rest assured the caterer will still deliver as promised with much less ease.
GOOD LEADERSHIP SKILLS
For an event caterer to come up with the right services, he or she would have to work with a team to be able to do this. The caterer being a good leader with the right skills to some extent guarantees that together with the team will produce excellent results.
FLEXIBILITY
Although the caterer knows what and what not to add to your order to make it a special one, he or she should also be able to work all these in compliance with your budget, preferences, dietary considerations and other factors.
PROFESSIONALISM
One important quality to look out for in your event caterer is her level of professionalism. A good event caterer should be able to keep her professionalism no matter the situation or pressure. For instance on no account should your caterer get drunk in the course of working or be under the influence of hard drugs
GOOD REVIEWS FROM PAST CLIENTS
Try to find out from your caterer's past clients how well the services were delivered . Do not hesitate to collect names, contacts and other piece of vital information that can help you make more inquiries about past clients.
