Always order less (by five pax)
When you order from the food caterer, they will ask you to quote the number of people attending your party. Make sure you always order five pax less than the number of people you have invited. That’s because the food caterer usually gives a larger food portion for each pax.
For instance, if you have 50 guests, just order for 45 pax to reduce any waste and leftovers.
Time your food catering delivery
Ever since the problem of food poisoning at food catering events intensified, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has become more stringent. The current regulation requires food to be consumed within four hours from the moment it is cooked.
By the time it reaches your party, you and your guests will have roughly three hours to finish everything. Thus, make sure you time your food catering delivery so that you and your guests have ample time to enjoy the food.
Earn Rewards With Your Credit Card
Food catering relieves you of the effort and stress of making sure that your party guests are well-fed. But it comes at a price.
A small party will cost between $200 to $300. For big parties, that cost could even hit the four-figure range. It also depends on the type of food and cuisine that you are ordering.
One way to maximise your spending on food catering is to earn some rewards by paying with your credit card. Be it cashback or rewards, paying with your credit card is the way to go if you want to earn some extra bucks for your next party.
