Catering enquiry
A catering enquiry is a request for food service for an event, group or occasion. Before a meaningful proposal can be prepared, the business normally needs the event date, location, guest count, service style and other relevant requirements. Recording the enquiry does not confirm availability, a final menu or a price.
Why it matters for your business
Consistent intake helps a chef judge fit without repeating the same questions across calls and DMs. It gives the customer a clear path from initial interest to a properly scoped conversation.
A business example
A caller asks about a birthday dinner. The chef receives the date, guest count and location, then follows up to confirm requirements before quoting.
