Common questions
How far in advance should I book Hooweet for my Shanghai event?
Most catering vendors in Shanghai recommend 2-4 weeks advance booking, though larger events (100+ guests) benefit from 6-8 weeks notice. Contact Hooweet directly to understand their booking calendar and availability, particularly if your event falls during peak seasons like Chinese New Year or autumn wedding season when demand is high.
Can Hooweet accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
Chinese cuisine often contains common allergens (peanuts, shellfish, soy, sesame). Before booking, provide Hooweet with a detailed list of all dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences so they can confirm what can be safely accommodated within their menu planning and kitchen practices.
What's typically included in Chinese catering pricing?
Catering costs usually cover food preparation, service staff, and basic setup/breakdown. Clarify whether your quote includes serving utensils, plates, beverages, table linens, and gratuity. Additional charges often apply for venue setup at off-site locations, extended service hours, or specialty equipment rentals.
How does Hooweet handle menu customization for mixed dietary preferences?
Since they specialize in traditional Chinese cooking, ask whether they can create tiered menus (vegetarian, seafood-focused, lighter options) within a single event or adapt dishes to meet specific nutritional needs without compromising authenticity. Understanding their flexibility helps you serve all guests effectively.
What's the typical guest count range Hooweet works with?
Confirm whether Hooweet has minimum and maximum capacity limits. Some catering operations are optimized for 50-200 guests, while others scale larger. Their capacity directly affects pricing structure and whether they can handle your specific event size without subcontracting.
How should I coordinate Hooweet's service with my venue's capabilities?
Discuss whether your venue has adequate kitchen access, refrigeration, and prep space for Hooweet's team. Some Shanghai venues have restricted catering policies or require specific equipment. Clarify setup timing, parking availability for delivery vehicles, and any vendor coordination needs with your venue management.
