Common questions

What's the typical process for getting a catering quote from CRAVE?

Contact CRAVE directly at +1 615-974-0306 or through their website at https://bycrave.com/ to discuss your event details, guest count, and date. They'll work with you to understand your vision and provide customized pricing based on your specific needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages.

Can CRAVE accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

Yes, professional catering services like CRAVE typically work with clients to accommodate various dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-conscious options. Be prepared to provide a detailed list of dietary requirements when requesting your quote, and discuss this during your initial consultation.

Does CRAVE provide staffing and equipment, or just the food?

This varies by catering package and should be clarified during your initial contact. Some catering services include servers, bartenders, and table setup, while others provide food only. Ask CRAVE specifically what's included in their base service and what additional staffing or rental costs might apply.

What's the latest I can finalize my guest count with CRAVE?

Most catering services require final headcount confirmations 7-14 days before the event, though this can vary. Contact CRAVE during business hours (weekdays 9 AM-5 PM or weekends 9 AM-3 PM) to confirm their specific deadline and any charges for last-minute adjustments.

Are there seasonal menu changes or ingredient sourcing practices at CRAVE?

Many Nashville catering companies adjust menus based on seasonal availability and local sourcing. Ask CRAVE about their ingredient sourcing philosophy, whether they work with local vendors, and if they offer seasonal menu specials that might fit your budget and event timeline.

Can CRAVE cater events at off-site venues, or do they have an in-house event space?

Most catering services operate as mobile providers serving Nashville-area venues. Confirm with CRAVE whether they can deliver and set up at your chosen venue, if there are travel fees based on distance from their location at 324 Gallatin Pike S, and any restrictions on venue types they serve.
