Common questions
What types of events does Foodevent typically cater in the Lyon area?
Foodevent works with clients on a range of events including corporate functions, private celebrations, weddings, and community gatherings. Their experience in local event logistics makes them particularly familiar with Lyon venues and typical event requirements, though you should discuss your specific event type during initial consultation to confirm their capacity.
How far in advance should I book Foodevent for my event?
While advance booking is generally recommended for catering services, you'll need to contact Foodevent directly about their lead time requirements and current availability. Their team can advise on realistic timelines based on your guest count, menu complexity, and event date.
Does Foodevent provide staffing and service, or just food delivery?
This is a critical detail to clarify before booking. Contact them to confirm whether their pricing includes service staff, setup, equipment rental, or if they provide food only. This significantly impacts your overall event budget and logistics planning.
Can Foodevent accommodate guests with dietary restrictions and allergies?
Most professional catering services manage dietary requirements, but you need to discuss this directly with Foodevent's team. Provide complete details about any allergies, religious restrictions, or dietary preferences early so they can confirm feasibility and document accommodations clearly.
What is included in their catering pricing?
Since Foodevent uses "contact for pricing," reach out to discuss what's covered—food costs, staff, linens, serviceware, beverages, or add-ons like bar service. Getting a detailed breakdown in writing helps you compare fairly against other vendors and prevents surprise charges.
How should I communicate menu preferences and special requests?
Their website and direct contact will be your primary channels. Prepare a detailed event brief including guest count, event type, date, budget range, and any specific menu ideas or restrictions before reaching out. Written confirmation of all details ensures clear communication and protects both parties.
