Finding Catering at the Last Minute

Finding a Caterer at the last minute may be the last situation you would like to be in. If your caterer has suddenly canceled on you, or you have left planning till the last minute; here are a few tips to keep you organized.

Stressing out and getting overwhelmed may be the first thing to come to your mind. It can be a tricky situation with an upcoming event or wedding, and your caterer calls you last minute to cancel. For whatever reason they cancel, your caterer may feel as uncomfortable as you.

Isaac's Catering was designed to allow internet searches an opportunity to find many catering options in the one location. You can select the type of catering required and the location where your function will be held. A large number of caterers may be listed; however it is best to do a quick search to find menus and pricing to suit. This will narrow down a list of names and numbers to a general idea that you are comfortable with. Phone and/or email a few catering companies explaining your situation.

For caterers to provide the information you are looking for, it helps to include full details of your function:

Date, number of guests, type of function, location, facilities available, access for loading/unloading

Due to your time restrictions with dates, some caterers may already be booked on your specific date. It is a good idea to ask for referrals for local caterers that provide a similar menu and pricing. It may take a few emails and phone calls to see who is available. Be honest and upfront with your needs, and this will allow caterers to provide all the necessary information within a short period of time.
