How to pick an operator
- Confirm licensing and insurance. Ask for Certificate of Insurance (COI) in writing before confirming the booking.
- Check published pricing. Operators who hide pricing until you call frequently add fees at quote. Prefer transparent pricing posted publicly.
- Verify service area actually reaches you. “Statewide” often means statewide-with-travel-fees; confirm travel cost upfront.
- Read Google and Yelp reviews, not website testimonials. Website review carousels can be curated; third-party platforms are harder to fake.
- Response time to text / email is a leading indicator of event-day reliability. If a chef takes 48 hours to reply to your booking inquiry, expect similar slowness on event day.
