What planners usually like:

  • Local Shanghai-based operation means shorter lead times for menu confirmations and easier communication across time zones
  • Direct contact access to discuss custom menu options and dietary requirements without navigating corporate call centers
  • Experience working with event organizers throughout Shanghai provides familiarity with local venue logistics and delivery challenges

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request detailed pricing breakdown including per-person costs, service charges, equipment rental fees, and any minimum guest count requirements
  • Confirm their capacity for your specific event date and whether they can accommodate your preferred service style (plated service, buffet, cocktail reception, etc.)
  • Verify what is included in their catering packages—linens, dishware, serving staff, bar service, and cleanup responsibilities should be explicitly outlined
  • Discuss dietary restrictions, allergies, and any specialized cuisine requirements early to ensure they can accommodate your guest needs

Common questions

How far in advance should I contact Catering Solutions to secure my event date?

Contact them as early as possible, ideally 4-6 weeks before your event, though this depends on your guest count and event complexity. Shanghai's catering vendors experience high demand during peak seasons (October-December and spring months), so advance booking increases your chances of securing preferred dates and menu customization.

What menu options should I expect when discussing catering with them?

Catering Solutions likely offers multiple menu tiers ranging from casual to formal dining options. Request sample menus for different price points and ask whether they can customize dishes based on your guest preferences, dietary restrictions, and event theme. Don't hesitate to ask about their signature dishes and seasonal offerings.

Do they handle both food and beverage service, or just food?

This is critical to clarify directly. Ask whether their catering package includes alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic drinks, bar setup, and bartending services—or if beverages must be sourced separately. Many Shanghai caterers handle food only, making beverage sourcing a separate vendor relationship.

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

Request their policy on guest count adjustments and deadline for final numbers. Most caterers require final headcount confirmation 7-10 days before the event. Confirm what flexibility they offer if numbers increase or decrease, and whether there are penalties for changes made too close to your event date.

Are serving staff, tables, chairs, and linens included in their pricing?

This varies significantly between caterers. Some include service staff and basic table setup, while others charge separately for these elements. Request an itemized quote that clearly distinguishes between food costs, labor, rentals, and any additional fees to avoid budget surprises.

Can they accommodate specific dietary requirements and allergies?

Contact them directly with your guest list's dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, religious restrictions, etc.). Ask how they handle food preparation to prevent cross-contamination and whether they require advance notice for specialized diets. Request documentation of their food safety protocols.
