A price per plate alone does not describe the full cost of feeding an event. A wedding buffet, office lunch and home celebration need different setup, timing and staffing. This guide helps you write a brief and compare written offers. Relevant paid posts appear when available; the page does not claim that a caterer is free on your date.
Give the caterer one clear event brief
State the event type, date, venue and estimated guest count. Explain when food must be ready and whether you need a buffet, plated meal or delivered food. Mention dietary requirements early and ask how the business handles them; do not assume that a standard menu covers every guest.
- Adults and children expected, with a final-count deadline.
- Meal time, menu preferences and dietary requirements.
- Venue access, kitchen space, water and power arrangements.
- Delivery only, serving staff or full setup and cleanup.
Agree on preparation, delivery and serving times
Set the arrival window, meal-ready time and serving duration. Identify who will meet the catering team at the venue. Ask about arrangements for keeping food suitable for serving and how leftovers and rubbish will be handled. Confirm the person responsible for decisions on the day and have the agreed menu available to both teams.
Keep the booking terms in writing
Check the business identity and previous relevant work before paying a deposit. Request a receipt and written terms for guest-count changes, cancellation and any balance due. If the event moves to another venue or date, ask for a revised quote. Today’s Big Deal does not collect the food-service payment or fulfil the catering order.
Make your catering offer easier to understand
Create a public catering post for the one-time UGX 10,000 listing fee. Explain the occasions you cover, your area, the information needed for a quote and how people can contact you. Add up to five photos that show your own food or setup with permission.
No website or account is required. Keep your public page current and save your private management link. Optional placement bids are separate from the listing fee; views and link clicks do not confirm bookings.
