Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for smaller versus larger events
  • Ask about their menu options (cuisines offered, dietary accommodations, plated vs. buffet service capabilities) and request sample menus or pricing tiers
  • Understand what's included in their service fees—staffing, setup/breakdown, linens, serving equipment, and cleanup expectations

Common questions

Do I need to call Tasty Catering during their business hours, or can I get a quote online?

Based on their website, you'll need to contact them directly at +1 847-593-2000 or visit their site since pricing is customized. They operate Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM, so plan your outreach during these hours. Having your event details ready (date, guest count, cuisine preferences) will help expedite the conversation.

What if my event is on a Saturday or Sunday? Can Tasty Catering still accommodate me?

Tasty Catering's posted hours show Saturday and Sunday as closed, which typically means they don't accept weekend bookings. However, it's worth calling them directly—some caterers will arrange special Saturday/Sunday services for larger events or may partner with other vendors. Always confirm this directly rather than assuming.

Are they able to handle dietary restrictions like vegan, gluten-free, and kosher options?

The vendor description doesn't specify dietary accommodations, so this is a critical question to ask when you call. Most Chicago caterers offer at least basic accommodations for common allergies and restrictions, but you'll want confirmation on their capabilities and any upcharges before finalizing your menu.

What's typically included in their catering service—just food, or do they handle setup and staffing?

The description doesn't detail what service components are included in their pricing. You'll need to clarify whether they provide serving staff, setup/breakdown, linens, serving dishes, and cleanup. These factors significantly impact your total event cost and logistics planning.

Can Tasty Catering deliver to venues across Chicago, and is there a delivery fee?

Given their Touhy Ave location and mention of serving "customers across Chicago," they likely offer delivery, but you should confirm the service radius, delivery fees, and any minimum order amounts. Travel distance can affect both cost and food timing, especially for off-peak locations.

How far in advance should I book Tasty Catering for my event?

Standard catering lead time is typically 2-4 weeks, but availability depends on event size and date. Contact them early to confirm their booking window and any peak season constraints, especially if your event falls during busy corporate event periods in Chicago.
