Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Welcome the client and introduce ourselves. Assess the client's needs. What are they hoping to achieve by working with you? What are their pain points? What are their goals? Develop a plan. Once we understand the client's needs, we can develop a plan to help them achieve their goals. This plan will be clear, concise, and achievable. Communicate regularly. Keep the client updated on our progress and make sure they are always aware of what is happening. Be responsive. The client should be able to reach us easily if they have any questions or concerns. Go above and beyond. Do whatever it takes to make sure the client is happy with our work.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have 10+ years in catering and BBQ Services.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

We utilize fixed pricing: This is the most common pricing system for catering. With fixed pricing, you set a price per person or per plate, and that price is the same regardless of the number of guests. This system is easy to understand and budget for, and it can be a good option for smaller events.

How did you get started in this business?

Working the Farmer's Markets and serving the people when the taste the food you start to get a lot of questions about cooking for them.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Most of my clients are from the Markets and have already tasted the food and want us to come to cater their events.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

I love Farmer's Markets, I enjoy the interaction with the people. We do weekly markets in Tinely Park and The Beverly's Farmers Market in Chicago.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

The best thing is to call and have a conversation. As long as you know how many people we can generally work it out from there.
