Common questions

How far in advance should I contact Akshaya Catering for event planning?

Most catering vendors in Kochi prefer 2-4 weeks' notice for standard events, though larger functions may require 6-8 weeks. Contact them at +91 484 277 5184 to confirm their specific advance booking timeline and whether they accept shorter notice during off-peak periods. Early communication also allows time for menu tastings and customization discussions.

What's typically included in catering packages—just food, or setup and service as well?

Catering packages vary significantly. Some vendors include only food delivery, while others provide serving staff, equipment rental, and cleanup. Since Akshaya's website doesn't specify, request a detailed breakdown of what's included at different price points: food cost per head, serving utensils, warming equipment, table setup, plate service vs. buffet arrangement, and whether staff are provided.

Are there additional charges beyond the per-person food cost?

Yes, typically. Common extra charges include delivery fees (based on distance from their Thrippunithura location), service staff gratuity, equipment rental, setup/cleanup labor, and surcharges for rush bookings. Ask for an itemized quote for your specific event location and guest count to avoid budget surprises.

How do they handle dietary restrictions and specialized menu requests?

Catering vendors' flexibility varies. Contact them directly to discuss specific needs—vegetarian/vegan options, allergies, religious dietary laws, or cuisine preferences. Ask whether they can accommodate these within standard packages or if modifications incur additional costs. Request references from similar events they've catered.

What happens if my guest count changes closer to the event date?

Most caterers require final headcount confirmation 3-7 days before the event. Changes within this window may incur penalties or small adjustments. Ask Akshaya about their specific policy: minimum charges, grace periods for increases/decreases, and whether they charge for guaranteed vs. estimated counts.

Do they provide menu tastings before finalizing bookings?

Many established caterers offer tastings for events above a certain guest count (typically 50+). Since you're contacting them directly, inquire about tasting opportunities, whether there's a tasting fee, and if it's credited toward your final invoice. This step is valuable for confirming quality and customization before your event.
