Professional caterers regularly handle vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, halal, and kosher requirements. Discuss dietary needs during your initial consultation. Most caterers can customize menus for any restriction with advance notice.

Drop-off catering delivers prepared food to your venue — you handle setup and serving. Full-service includes staff for setup, serving, and cleanup. Drop-off costs 40-60% less but requires more work from you. Best for casual events under 50 people.

Request a tasting before booking. Ask for references from similar events. Review their food safety certifications. Confirm staff-to-guest ratio. Check if they have experience with your venue. Read the contract carefully — especially cancellation and overtime policies.
