Questions To Ask A Wedding Caterer In Singapore...
Locating a good wedding caterer in Singapore is same as finding any other business house. The task can be a little overwhelming because of the huge number of catering service providers in Singapore. But once the caterer has been located and finalized, a few questions need to be asked to them before hiring them. After all they are going to manage the most important segment at a special ceremony and that segment is ‘food’!
First of all make all specific needs clear to the caterer regarding budget, number of guests that is expected, specific items on the menu, venue etc. The Singapore based buffet service provider should be clearly asked if they offer halal food or not because most guests at the wedding would obviously prefer no more than halal. Here is a list of some such important questions that need to be asked to Singapore based wedding catering service agency.
The caterer should be asked if they would be transporting the food to the venue or they would be setting up a temporary kitchen at the venue. Some of them might have a mobile kitchen or a make-shift kitchen facility. In that case, ensure that they stick to all hygiene conditions and are actually licensed to cook on the move. Caterers who transport the food from their brick and mortar outlet must do so on time. So be clear about timings and attached prices.
Ensure that the service staff from the catering is cordial, neatly dressed and hospitable. If possible meet the manager of the staff up front and try to covey all specific expectations directly.
In case the catering agency is going to handle decoration of the buffet or dining space, ensure that they guarantee a strict time bound service. It is good to have a written agreement ready before making any payments to ensure best-in-class service.
All handling, equipment, machinery, ingredients and utensils must be neat and clean. Besides this ensure that the processes involved confirm with all Islamic dietary laws. Check the kitchens, cold storages, working ad processes in person. All drinks, desserts and snacks also fall in this category.
The caterer must have a halal accommodating certification. They should also use only halal meat in all the dishes. Clearly enquire about these points in advance to avoid any confusion in the 11th hour.
