FROM THE VIGA JOURNAL · 2023

A brief edition of this story from the Viga archive.

01

Check the working space

Ask about suitable water access, electrical power, food staging areas and room for serving equipment. Explain whether the menu will need heated service so the venue and caterer can plan together.

02

Confirm who supplies what

Clarify access to tables, utensils and waste disposal. These may not be included when using an outside caterer, and extra arrangements can affect transport, staffing and the final quote.
