Caterers, meal prep, private chefs, bakeries, food trucks and mobile bars. The date, the headcount and the diets decide the quote.

Mistakes agents make here

Never tell a customer a dish is safe for an allergy. Pass on their exact words; the kitchen confirms.
Ask the headcount before comparing prices. Most catering is priced per person, with a minimum.

Businesses publish

Services and prices, service area, hours, policies, and minimum order or headcount, how far ahead to book, dietary options, delivery area.
