If they are available or not

What the cost will be

What will be the cost you will be paying for their services? Although you don’t always want to go with the cheapest company because it can end up not being as good of quality or service, you also want to keep your budget in mind while speaking with potential food service companies.

What they will be serving

Do you have a specific food in mind? If not, ask them what their specialty is. What do they typically serve at your type of gathering? Do they have a specific food they are amazing at? You can also ask for references so that you can find out from others how they have liked working with the food service company and if they had any complains. Again, you can do this online by looking at different reviews and you can ask the company specifically to give the number of a couple recommendations they have. 

Do they have any special requests?

Is the company picky about anything? Although it’s not the end of the world if they are by any means, it’s just a good idea to know up front what to expect and if they have any specific expectations for you that you need to know now. This could end up making you like them more or could make you feel as though you should go with a different food service company. 

What are your special requests?

Just like they may have special requests, you also need to think about yourself. Is there a specific request you have. Perhaps you want everything to be vegetarian, or some people have specific allergies to food they need to be aware of. You need to be able to communicate this to them. 

Who will be cooking and working?

Finally, you want to know who will be doing the cooking. Who will be helping create the environment that you are looking for. This is one of the final questions you want to ask during your search.
