Common questions

What event sizes can Shanghai Baolaina Catering typically handle?

Most Shanghai-based catering companies operate across a range from intimate 20-person dinners to large 200+ person banquets. Before booking, ask Baolaina about their kitchen capacity, available staff, and whether they have experience with your specific guest count. This ensures they can properly resource your event.

How far in advance should I contact them for event catering?

Standard practice in Shanghai's catering industry is booking 2-4 weeks ahead for most events, though larger functions (100+ guests) benefit from 6-8 weeks notice. Contact Baolaina directly to confirm their specific booking windows and any seasonal busy periods that might affect availability.

What's typically included in their catering packages versus what costs extra?

Core catering usually includes food preparation and basic service, but items like premium ingredients, specialty beverages, table linens, specialized equipment, or extended service hours often incur additional charges. Request an itemized quote from Baolaina so you understand what's bundled versus add-on costs.

Do they accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

Reputable Shanghai catering companies maintain protocols for handling allergies and dietary needs (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, etc.). When contacting Baolaina, provide a detailed guest breakdown of any dietary requirements so they can confirm they can safely accommodate your attendees.

Can they provide menu tasting sessions before the event?

Many Shanghai catering providers offer pre-event tastings or menu consultations, though this may involve additional costs or minimum order requirements. Ask Baolaina if tastings are available, what's included, and whether this service is complimentary or paid.

How do they handle service staffing and what's the typical server-to-guest ratio?

Professional catering typically operates with 1 server per 8-12 guests depending on service style (plated vs. buffet). Clarify with Baolaina how many staff members they'll provide, their uniform requirements, and whether they can adjust staffing ratios for your preferred service format.
