Frequently asked questions
How do caterers link purchase orders to specific events?
Include the event name, date, and venue on every PO. This lets you track food and equipment costs per event for accurate billing and profitability analysis.
What should a caterer's PO include for food orders?
Specify product names, quantities with pack sizes, any quality or origin requirements, delivery address and time (allowing for preparation), and agreed pricing.
How do caterers handle last-minute guest number changes?
Build a contingency into your POs (typically 10% extra) and agree with your supplier whether quantities can be adjusted up to a certain cut-off date without penalty.
