Making every event is a “party to remember” will make you a success it the party catering business. You have to create a moment to remember not only for your clients but also for their guess. Whether it is an anniversary, a wedding, a graduation or some other milestone event you have to make sure that every event is a “party to remember”. Going the extra mile will be sometimes the thing that sets you apart from other caterers.
As a caterer in the party catering business, you must look beyond just the preparation of food. When you are a party catering business, your job does not end with the cooking and the service of the food. You may be required to act as a coordinator for flowers, or research party locations, or shop around for themes. But remember you are the caterer and is the food that should push the party over the top.
The food should not only be tasty, but the preparation should be extravagant. Constantly survey the guess asking “was the food good?”. Let the client suggest what kinds of food they like and what their guests will like and be creative, make suggestions towards the menu. You can turn a modest party into a major event so let them see what you got.
Completely interview your client, find out about their background, interests, and ambitions. If it is graduation, birthday, anniversary, or wedding reception be sure to finds the guest of honor likes and dislikes. Find out as much information you can know about the people who are giving the party. After the first interview develop a draft plan and review with the client. This information will help you tremendously in your final planning.
After your initial planning, you should then create a proposal detailing your ideas in regards to the menu, pricing, etc to present to your client. Pinpoint how you will perform first-class services and excellent food that would fit any budget.
Your goal is to give your clients confidence that they get the party they deserve in spite of of the size or type of party. First, the client gets in touch with you for an initial inquiry and you interview them. Try not to give them a price on your services until you have a chance to write your proposal.
When discussing a fee for you services let the client know that your services are seventy-five to one-hundred-fifty dollars per hour, plus expenses, depending on the type of event they require. You then set up another appointment to share your final proposal and discuss any changes. Request a deposit when the agreement as completed (should be part of the proposal). Planning and execution of your plan will prove to be the success of the party..
Good Luck on your Catering Business
