The five questions to ask a Chicago caterer

  1. Are you available on the date?
  2. What's your per-person price at your guest count, and what does it include?
  3. Is there a minimum, and what's your service charge as a percentage?
  4. Are staffing, rentals and china included or billed separately?
  5. What does bar service cost, per person or on consumption?

We ask all five in one email, with your date and numbers in it, and chase the ones who don't answer.
