Common questions

What's the typical lead time Chef Zaragoza needs for event catering bookings?

While specific lead times aren't listed, it's advisable to contact them directly at +52 33 3502 3615 or through their website as soon as you have event dates confirmed. Catering in Guadalajara typically requires 1-3 weeks' notice depending on guest count and menu complexity, though last-minute bookings may be possible depending on kitchen capacity.

Can Chef Zaragoza accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Most professional catering services can handle common dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), but you'll need to discuss specific restrictions during your initial consultation. Provide a detailed list of allergies and dietary requirements when requesting a quote to ensure they can safely serve all your guests.

Do they provide serving staff, or is this drop-off catering only?

The vendor description mentions "quality service," suggesting they may offer full-service options, but the specific service model (staff included vs. delivery-only) isn't clarified online. Contact them directly to understand whether catering includes uniformed staff for setup, service, and breakdown.

What's included in their catering packages—just food, or also tables, linens, and dishware?

The website and initial information don't specify what's included beyond food preparation. Ask whether plates, utensils, glassware, serving equipment, and any décor elements are included in pricing or available as add-ons.

Are there delivery fees for events outside central Zapopan?

Given their central Guadalajara location, delivery to outlying areas may incur additional charges. Confirm delivery areas they service at no extra cost and ask about fees for events in Guadalajara's suburbs or surrounding municipalities.

How far in advance do they need final guest counts and menu selections?

Standard catering practice requires final numbers 5-7 days before the event, though this varies. Clarify their specific deadline for menu finalization and headcount adjustments to avoid rush fees or menu limitations closer to your event date.
