Common questions

Does Dream Chef handle setup, service, and cleanup, or just food preparation?

Contact Dream Chef directly at +39 055 482777 to clarify what's included in their catering package. Many Florence caterers offer tiered service levels—some provide full on-site service with staff, while others focus on food delivery and setup only. Understanding this distinction is critical for budgeting and venue logistics.

What's the lead time needed to book Dream Chef for an event?

Since Dream Chef requires direct contact for pricing and bookings, reach out during their weekday business hours (9:00 AM – 1:00 PM or 2:00 – 6:30 PM) to learn about their booking calendar and advance notice requirements. Most caterers in Florence recommend 2-4 weeks for standard events and longer for larger celebrations.

Can Dream Chef accommodate outdoor events or rooftop venues in Florence?

This depends on their equipment capabilities and service model. When contacting them, ask specifically whether they handle outdoor catering, what weather contingencies they offer, and if they charge extra for venues outside their standard service area. Their location on Via Atto Vannucci makes them well-positioned for central Florence locations.

What menu options are available, and can we customize dishes?

Visit http://www.dreamchef.it/ first to review available menus, then call to discuss customization options. Many caterers offer seasonal menus and the ability to adjust courses, portion sizes, or create themed menus. Clarify pricing for custom modifications versus standard offerings.

How do Dream Chef's weekend closure affect event timing?

Since Dream Chef is closed Saturday and Sunday, Friday evening events would need to be confirmed well in advance, and weekend events would require special arrangements. Plan accordingly and discuss feasibility when booking—some caterers make exceptions for significant events or have partner vendors for weekend service.

What's included in the pricing, and are there hidden costs?

Dream Chef's "contact for pricing" model means you'll need to discuss all potential costs directly: food, service staff, equipment rentals, delivery charges, gratuity, and any special requests. Get a detailed written quote before committing to ensure no surprises closer to your event date.
