Cafes, Catering & Room/Venue Hire

If you need to book catering or hire a room or venue for a client (or for Strictly Savvy), or your client wants a nice café to have a meeting at, the following steps can be used as a guideline on how to go about that (some steps may be missed or adapted given the timeframe or the process that the supplier or business uses).

1. Give them a call to ensure they can cater for, or have a room available for, the required day

2. Get a catering/hire form from them if that is what they require you to fill in

3. Get the email and/or fax number to send the order/request through to

4. Fill in the requirements on the form, or in an email, ensuring you provide every detail for them, for example any allergies, number of people, location, timings, PO number etc.)

5. Send the order/request through as soon as possible, giving enough notice depending on the supplier/business eg Blue Carrot Catering can fill orders if given 48 hours notice, and all details of the food items required

6. Follow up your order 3 days out if you have not received a confirmation for the supplier/business

7. Catering: call them the morning of the event to ensure catering is sorted and will be delivered on time

8. If requested by the client, be on-site when catering is delivered

9. Send them a follow up thank you/feedback email after the event - they will appreciate it, and remember you for future bookings
