At Mamajuana Cafe Queens, New York City residents have access to some of the best Latino cuisine Queens has to offer. In addition to an elegant atmosphere, delicious food, and huge adjacent nightclub, Mamajuana Cafe Queens also offers private rooms and catering for business events and private parties. Here, the Spanish restaurant’s reputable staff share a few tips to help you look for the best catering service.

5 Tips for Choosing the Right Catering Service

1. Menu Flexibility

Most quality caterers can adapt their standard menu into something more specific to your event. Look for a catering service that is able and willing to adjust their menus to fit your tastes and event theme. No menu should be completely etched in stone.

2. Professional & Organized

When being interviewed by prospective clients, caterers have the responsibility to be professional and organized. Clumsy presentations and unprofessional proposals are a major red flag; their disorganization can potentially ruin your event.

3. Reliable References

One of the biggest signs of excellent service is a long list of satisfied clients. It pays to contact the catering service’s references directly. You can also gather information from online review websites like Yelp® or Angie’s List®. 

4. Clearly Defined Contract

The contract with your chosen catering service should spell out the exact services being provided, including food, drinks, and dates. Details like pricing and the number of people attending the event should also be part of the contract, along with a straight-forward cancellation plan.

5. Experienced Chef & Staff

For a catering service to be excellent, it needs a skillful chef on its staff. Whoever is in the kitchen has to be able to create delicious dishes promptly for large parties. Even if the business itself is relatively young in years, the background and experience of the chef can be more valuable than the business owner’s time in the catering industry.
