Sample edition
This is sample editorial content. No business visit, tasting, rating, or recommendation is implied. Photography illustrates the subject and does not show a reviewed business.
Give your caterer a useful brief
Share your guest count, delivery window, available serving space, and dietary requirements when requesting a proposal. Ask for separate labelling and serving utensils where needed. This sample uses Ottawa as a planning context; no catering company, delivery area, or pricing has been verified.
Put the practical details in writing
A clear proposal should spell out the scope of service and who is responsible for each part of the event. Compare providers on the same brief. Confirm current availability and terms with the provider; this sample does not supply quotes or business endorsements.
Keep in mind
- Confirm delivery, setup, and cleanup responsibilities.
- Request clear labels and an allergen discussion.
- Include drinks, serving utensils, and any rentals in the brief.
