Catering at your kids birthday party

• It is the business of providing food service at a remote site or a site such as a hotel, public house (pub), or other location for your kid’s birthday party or other events in Dubai.

• On-premise caterers prepare and cook the food at the location at which it's going to be served. While this generally refers to event facilities, many are also open to working in a home, provided there is suitable space and equipment.

• Finding the perfect caterer is an essential part of any large scale event.

• Weddings, corporate events, parties and family gatherings are all times when the services of a caterer might be needed.

• Unfortunately, there is no standardized grading system for caterers and anybody can start their own catering business.

• Here's how to choose a good caterer so that the food at your kid’s birthday party or other events is something memorable, for all the right reasons.

• No amount of advertising can replace a good recommendation from somebody you know and trust.

• If a friend or acquaintance had a great caterer for their wedding, then this is a caterer you should talk to for your next big event.

• Conversely, bad reviews should also be heeded.

• Caterers who provide food for large events should offer to provide you with a tasting, in order to gain your business for a large contract.

• Keep in mind, however, that this tasting will be the very best product the caterers can produce.

• There's also often a huge difference in quality between preparing a meal for 2 compared to 500.

• Some caterers will only prepare and deliver you the food you ordered, and may even go so far as to set it up.

• Others can provide fully trained wait staff and support personnel. If you're having a formal event requiring plated service then you want a catering company large enough to handle your needs.

• Feel free to ask the caterer if their staff comes from a temporary agency or if they are employees of the catering company.

• Wait staff that comes from a temp agency can imply that the catering company doesn't often handle large, staffed events.

• Some caterers specialize in larger scale events and have the equipment and expertise to professionally handle larger numbers of guests.

• Other caterers specialize in smaller intimate events: cocktail parties along with mini golf in Dubai, or even just delivery of catered food. Be wary of the caterer who claims to be able to do it all, chances are that they don't excel at any of it.
