Common questions
How far in advance should I book Global Gourmet Catering for my San Francisco event?
Most caterers in the San Francisco area recommend booking 2-3 months ahead for weekend events and 4-6 weeks for weekday events, though timing can vary. Contact Global Gourmet Catering directly at +1 415-701-0001 during business hours (Mon-Fri, 9 AM-5 PM) to confirm their current availability and booking lead times for your specific date.
What happens if my guest count changes close to the event date?
Catering services typically require final headcount confirmation 7-10 days before the event, with some allowing minor adjustments after that point with potential fees. You'll want to discuss their specific policy on headcount changes, refunds, and overage charges when you contact them for pricing details.
Does Global Gourmet Catering handle setup, service, and cleanup?
The extent of service—whether they provide staff for setup, plating, table service, and cleanup—varies by catering company and event package. Ask Global Gourmet Catering specifically whether their pricing includes full-service catering with staff, or if setup and service are separate line items you can add.
Can they accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?
Professional catering companies typically handle common dietary needs like vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, though availability depends on their kitchen capabilities. When you reach out, ask about their process for documenting allergies, cross-contamination protocols, and whether special dietary menus have additional costs.
What's included in the pricing, and are there hidden costs I should know about?
Catering pricing usually covers food and basic service, but rentals, bar service, gratuity, and overtime fees can add significantly to costs. Request a detailed proposal from Global Gourmet Catering that breaks down all line items so you can accurately compare against other vendors and budget accordingly.
Can they handle events on weekends, or are they only available Monday through Friday?
Global Gourmet Catering's posted hours show they're closed Saturday and Sunday, but some catering companies do take weekend events by special arrangement. Contact them directly to confirm whether weekend catering is available and if weekend dates require additional fees or advance notice.
