Every catering proposal depends on the same handful of details: what kind of event it is, how many people are coming, how formal it feels, and what the budget allows. This questionnaire collects those details in one go, so caterers can suggest a menu and service style that suits the event instead of starting from a generic price list.
The form starts with the event: type, guest count, formality, meal time, and preferred service style, with an option for clients who want a recommendation. It then turns to food, covering dietary restrictions, cuisine interests, how adventurous the menu should be, and the budget per person. Beverage plans, practical considerations such as outdoor setups or limited kitchens, the event date, and the location follow before the contact details.
Dietary planning adapts to each client. When someone says guests have restrictions or allergies, the form asks which ones to accommodate and roughly what share of guests they affect. Clients without restrictions skip those questions. The last question asks how they would like you to follow up, whether by email, a phone call, or a tasting appointment.
