Locating Professional Utah Catering Companies

By Cynthia Lewis


If you own a business and you need to entertain clients or you are hosting a party at your home you may decide to supply the guests with food. Preparing food for many guests is not an easy task and the better option is to hire a professional team. If you are looking for Utah catering companies, there are a few options available to you, and some research is required.

When looking for a firm to provide the food and beverages for a function there are a few things to work out before you begin. You should work out how many people you will be catering for and what type of refreshments they are going to be offered. There are specialist businesses in Salt Lake City, UT that will help and advise you when you plan to entertain your invited guests.

Various options are available in catering and after some research has been done you can select the suitable menu for your guests. Many styles of cuisine can be provided from a cold snack option to five course gourmet meals. Most of the hospitality firms will also provide waiters and other staff so that the guests get a good service.

When you have confirmed the number of guests and you have decided how much you can afford to spend you will need to locate a company to provide the food and drinks. Businesses in the catering industry will have numbers listed in the telephone book and you can also find many that advertise online. When you have contacted a party planner, they will come out to see you, and go through your plans and ideas for the event.

Following the initial consultation, your catering planner will finalize the details with you, to ensure everything is in order. It is worth considering that some of your guests may be vegetarian and it is worth putting on an option for them. The company may ask for a deposit to secure the booking and this will be deducted from the final bill.

The prices you are charged by caterers will depend on how many guests are eating and what type of food is provided. A self service buffet menu will be reasonably cheap and prices will be much higher if a gourmet banquet is provided. Most companies will have fixed price, set menu option, and these can be cost effective.

Many caterers will also provide a drinks bar service which is a useful addition for an event. The company will come and set up a functional drinks bar which is stocked with soft drinks as well as alcohol. These bar services can be paid for up front or they can charge your guests on the day for each drink they buy.

Another thing to think about is what equipment may be needed to entertain a large number of people. If you serve a cold buffet, the company can usually prepare this in advance, and bring it on the day of the function. For hot food options they may need to bring cooking equipment if you do not have it. Extras such as plates and glassware can be provided by the caterers if you need it.
