Hosting an event is a lot of work. Finding a locale, decorations, entertainment and most importantly, the caterer. Hiring the right caterer for your event can make everything go smoothly. RX Catering has all of the hook-ups you need for a successful event.

Choosing the right caterer for your event is key to hosting something rememberable for all.

Guest List

Knowing how many people will attend is the first part. Make sure your guests will be able to attend and find out how many plus ones will show up. It is a good idea to not invite people you know might not show up.

Dietary Restrictions

The more people you have, there will be more dietary variants. They say you can’t please everyone, but a professional caterer can help you shift around the menu to try to comply with your guest’s needs.

The Locale

This is probably one of the most important things. Your caterer can help you find the perfect locale for your event. An accessible location with plenty of parking is a must. Also, having all of the amenities is key. Seating, restrooms and maybe a small kitchen for prep work will have everything running smoothly.

Staffing

Depending on the type of food service you are having, make sure you will have enough people serving your event. Buffet-style events require fewer people because it is self-serve. Sit-down dinners will require more people when it comes down to it. There should always be a bartender even if there is no alcohol being served,

Taste Test

Any professional caterer will be able to give you samples of the food that they prepare. Even if it is not something you have in mind, it will give you a good example of their skills. Another way to find out how variant they are is to ask for pictures of past events. This will give you a good idea of what they are capable of.
