Like any other service, finding the right company can be a daunting task.
Same goes with catering. Of course the Internet has made it easier to review companies easily. Word of mouth plays a heavy hand in how successful catering companies get business. Asking the right questions is the most important part. Here you will find some tips and advice to get you started in the right direction:
1. Friends. Everybody knows someone who knows a caterer. Maybe someone in your family or circle of friends. It never hurts to ask.
2. Chamber of Commerce. If a business is serious about providing quality services, it will typically have some involvement with these or similar organizations.
3. Search Engines and Directories. Search engines like Google and review sites like Yelp can help. Many on Yelp tend to write well written reviews about their experiences.
4. Reviews on Social Media websites like Facebook and Twitter. Use the search bar in both f these social media sites and see if the company is online. These days, companies must talk about their craft and or service. If a company doesn’t have much work then it probably won’t have much to say on social media. Social media is about what you are doing. So look and see if they are doing anything. Successful companies talk about their clients and the experience they created.
Questions to ask:
1. Can I read reviews about you somewhere? Can I speak to any of your clients?
2. Why is your service better than anyone everyone else? What makes you the better choice?
3. Do you carry insurance? Are you bonded?
4. Are you a member of any organizations like the better Business Bureau? Civic organizations?
