Planner's guide

Fresh Counter & Catering – Event Planner Guide

Best For: Weekday corporate events and business lunches, small to medium office gatherings, private functions requiring fresh prepared food, morning meetings with breakfast catering

What planners usually like:

  • Early morning availability (7:00 AM start) makes them reliable for breakfast meetings and time-sensitive weekday events
  • Local Vancouver location provides shorter lead times and easier coordination for last-minute adjustments
  • Focus on fresh, quality ingredients appeals to clients seeking health-conscious catering options
  • Direct contact availability allows personalized menu discussions rather than generic package offerings

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm minimum order requirements and whether they accommodate smaller gatherings (10-20 person events vs. larger groups)
  • Ask about weekend event feasibility—since they're closed Saturday and Sunday, understand if special arrangements are possible or if Friday is your latest option
  • Request their current menu options and dietary accommodation capabilities (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergen protocols)
  • Discuss delivery fees, setup services, and whether pricing includes rentals (plates, utensils, serving equipment) or if these are additional costs

Common questions

What's the typical turnaround time for catering quotes and menu planning with Fresh Counter & Catering?

Contact them directly at +1 604-688-9344 to discuss your specific timeline. Since they operate Monday-Friday 7:00 AM-3:00 PM, weekday coordination is straightforward, but advance notice ensures they can accommodate your event size and date. Their website may also have inquiry forms that can expedite initial responses.

Are there hidden costs beyond the quoted catering price I should anticipate?

When requesting pricing, specifically ask whether delivery, setup, service staff, rentals (plates, utensils, linens), and gratuity are included or billed separately. This prevents budget surprises and allows you to compare their total cost against other Vancouver caterers accurately.

Can Fresh Counter & Catering handle dietary restrictions and food allergies?

This is essential to clarify during your initial consultation. Ask about their protocols for gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and allergen-free meal preparation, as well as their cross-contamination prevention measures. Request their allergen documentation and ingredient sourcing practices.

Since they close at 3:00 PM on weekdays, how does this affect afternoon and evening event timing?

Their early closure means preparation and delivery would need to be completed before 3:00 PM. Discuss whether they can prepare food earlier in the day for evening events or if they accommodate lunch-hour gatherings instead. This limitation makes them ideal for breakfast and lunch functions but requires creative scheduling for later events.

What's included in their catering service—is it drop-off only, or do they provide setup and staffing?

Clarify whether they deliver platters only or provide serving tables, setup assistance, and on-site staff. Some caterers offer full-service options while others provide food only, which significantly impacts your event logistics and staffing needs.

How far does their delivery range extend from their Dunsmuir Street location?

Ask whether they deliver across all of Vancouver or have a limited service radius. Distance may affect delivery fees and whether they can accommodate events in different neighborhoods (Downtown, Burnaby, North Shore, etc.).
