FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We charge based on headcount. Each dish is priced to offer 1.5- 2 portions per person, to allow for seconds and sometimes thirds! Many catering companies charge per piece, but we feel that charging per person insures that everyone gets fed and leaves full!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The best way to get to know my clients is to talk to them either on the phone or face to face. I like to hear about what they love to eat and what they absolutely will not eat. I like to find out what the special occasion means to them and exactly how they want the event to unfold. After that I discuss the budget with the clients and put together a comprehensive menu I believe they would like. Then I go through the whole process with them and tell them exactly what they are getting for their price. I want my clients to feel comfortable, taken care of, and most of all excited for their event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
