01

Plan before the final order

Match the food to the time and tone of the event. Keep a list of questions for the caterer and discuss portions before finalizing quantities.

02

Keep the team informed

Changes to attendance can affect preparation, so communicate them promptly. Consider the caterer's suggestions alongside your budget and preferences; a shared understanding helps avoid last-minute confusion.
