A detailed excel for the event

Receiving your first catering contract is only a 25 percent victory, 75 percent is yet to go! So, here's what you've to do as soon as you finalize the catering contract with your first client. Contact your client on time and ask him/her for all the details regarding the event, for an instance, the number of guests, the eating choice of guest, the kind of event, the timing of the event, the number of dishes in demand, and others. Moreover, repeat the budget to the client in order to ensure the mutual consent on the subject of payment.

Share the schedule with the catering teams. Alongside, prepare a "B Plan" in the context of any miss-happening takes place like you don't reach the place timely.
