Hiring taco catering services in California for your upcoming birthday party, wedding, baby shower, or corporate event is a really big deal. You need this party to go well, which means you need the food to be perfect. This isn't just a guessing game, thankfully. By asking a few well-planned questions ahead of time, you can know for sure you're booking a fantastic catering company.
Be sure to ask these five questions and listen carefully to their responses:
Can I have references from previous clients?
No matter what kind of party you are hosting, your gathering is very important to you and it needs to be handled just right. References will tell you what you may not find out just by talking to the caterer, including what it's like to work with this company as a whole or the individuals who will be serving at your event. If possible, get at least two references who had a similar number of party guests and event style.
How many hours will you serve?
Your party can last into the night, but you don’t need to pay the caterers to be there that long. Typically, there are three hours of service included in your taco party catering in California. This includes one hour for preparation and a two-hour window of serving at the actual event. This number is for packages of 30 persons or more. For more intimate events with fewer guests, there is only one hour of preparation and there is a one-hour window of serving needed.
How many tacos does each party goer get?
Tacos are amazing, but your catering isn’t automatically all-you-can-eat. There will typically be a limit of four to five tacos maximum per guest. If you really love tacos and really want your guests to eat their hearts and stomachs out, ask if there is an unlimited option you can upgrade to.
Will you be working at any other parties or events on the same day?
Sometimes, caterers will stack two or more events onto the same day or weekend. During busy holidays and three-day weekends, this often occurs. More than one event in one day doesn't have to be a deal breaker. You will want to know if the caterer does have other bookings, how your party will get the great food, staff, and attention it deserves.
Are you able to prepare vegetarian, gluten-free, or other special-diet tacos?
You can and should find a taco caterer willing to work with special dietary restrictions. If offering a special meal to certain family and friends is important to you, be sure to look into veggie taco options. Chips with guacamole and salsa are obviously great choices. Other vegan-friendly side dishes offered by a catering company include pot beans, refried beans, Mexican red rice, Mexican white corn rice, pico de gallo dip, pickled carrots, taquitos. Of course you can add a salad on too!
Once your catering company has answered these questions to your liking, go ahead and book them for your party. This is going to be a great event!
