What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

To provide an accurate price I would need to know the date and location of the event, as well as the expected number of guests. This information will allow me to determine the logistics involved in transporting and setting up our equipment, as well as the amount of food and staff required to cater to your guests. It is also useful to be made aware of any access restrictions and if power would be supplied at this time.

Secondly, I would need to know what type of cuisine you would like me to offer. Do you have any specific dietary requirements or preferences that I should consider? This will help me tailor my menu to your needs and ensure that all guests can enjoy the food on offer.

Finally, I would also need to know if you have any specific requests for additional services, such as equipment rentals, bespoke menu screen design, or staffing. This will allow me to provide you with a comprehensive quote that covers all aspects of your event.

Once I have this information, I can provide you with a detailed quote that outlines the cost of the catering services and any additional services you have requested.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

1) Look for providers with a good reputation: Check out online reviews and ask for recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have used catering services in the past. This can help you narrow down your options and find a provider with a good reputation for quality food and service.

2) Consider their menu options: Look for a provider that offers a diverse and customizable menu to suit your preferences and dietary requirements. Ensure that they use fresh ingredients and are able to accommodate any special requests you may have.

3) Ask about their experience: Find out how long the provider has been in business and whether they have experience catering for events similar to yours. This can give you an idea of their level of expertise and ability to handle your event successfully.

4) Inquire about their availability and pricing: Check whether the provider is available on the date of your event and ask for a detailed breakdown of their pricing. Be sure to ask about any additional charges that may apply, such as delivery fees or equipment rentals.

5) Confirm their licenses and certifications: Ensure that the provider has all the necessary licenses and certifications to operate as a caterer, including food handling and safety certifications.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Our street food catering business was founded by myself and my co-founder, who is coeliac and has struggled to find safe and delicious food at festivals and events. With my background in the food/hospitality industry, having worked in various roles for over 10 years, and my co-founder's experience as a foodie and her own cheesecake company, we decided to join forces and create am exciting street food business that could provide gluten-free and nut-free food options for people with dietary restrictions.

We noticed that there was a growing demand for allergy-friendly food options, but there were few catering businesses that specialized in this area. As such, we saw an opportunity to fill this gap in the market and offer a unique and inclusive menu that could cater to everyone, regardless of their dietary requirements and without compromising on flavour.

We started out by attending local food markets and festivals, where we received a lot of positive feedback for our tasty and innovative dishes. Our menu includes a range of street food favorites, such as burgers, tacos, and hot dogs, as well as sweet treats like our signature gluten-free and nut-free cheesecakes.

Overall, it has been a fantastic experience for our street food catering business. We have received multiple bookings through the platform, including a job catering for a rugby festival that had thousands of attendees. This event was a huge success for us, and we were able to showcase our menu and catering services to a large and diverse audience.

The process of accepting bookings through Add To Event was very straightforward and user-friendly. The platform allowed us to create a detailed profile that showcased our menu, vehicle and availability. We were also able to receive and respond to customer enquiries through the platform, making it easy to manage our bookings and communicate with clients.

One of the best things about using Add To Event was the business contacts we made through the service. We were able to connect with event organizers and other vendors in the industry, which has helped us to expand our network and grow our business.
