Common questions

What should I ask about when I first contact FoodWorks Catering?

Start by discussing your event date, expected guest count, venue location, and any dietary requirements. Ask specifically about available menu options, pricing structure, and whether they handle setup/service or delivery only. Their team is available Tuesday-Saturday, 10 AM–3 PM, so plan your call accordingly.

Are there timing constraints I should know about when booking FoodWorks Catering?

Yes—FoodWorks is closed Sundays and Mondays, and their office hours are 10 AM–3 PM Tuesday through Saturday. If your event is scheduled for a Sunday or Monday, contact them earlier in the week to arrange details. Last-minute weekend events may have limited availability.

How do I understand the true cost of catering with this vendor?

FoodWorks uses "contact for pricing," which means per-plate costs, delivery fees, and service charges vary based on menu selections and event specifics. Request a detailed quote that breaks down per-person food cost, delivery fee, setup charges, and any gratuity expectations before committing.

What's the typical process for booking and confirming details?

Call +1 613-680-4256 during business hours to discuss your event. Expect to provide date, guest count, location, menu preferences, and dietary needs. Confirm in writing the agreed menu, final headcount deadline, delivery time, and payment terms to avoid last-minute misunderstandings.

Can FoodWorks accommodate events across all Ottawa neighborhoods?

FoodWorks serves customers across Ottawa from their Gladstone Ave location. However, delivery radius and associated fees may apply depending on your venue's distance. Ask about their service area boundaries and any additional charges for distant locations during your initial inquiry.

What should I verify about dietary accommodations and menu flexibility?

Contact them directly to discuss what dietary options they regularly accommodate and whether custom menu requests are possible. Ask for sample menus or references if you have specific cuisine preferences or significant dietary restrictions among your guests.
