Why catering companies miss so many calls
Event catering is booked on availability and the first caterer who confirms the date usually wins it.
When the phone rings out
- while running an event, which is most weekends
- evenings, when event planning happens
- the run up to Christmas
What they are ringing about
- catering for a wedding or a corporate event
- numbers, menus and dietary requirements
- availability on a specific date
What that costs a single site
£43,700
a month, on conservative assumptions
About 17 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 6 a week, and one customer is worth £1,800 to a catering company. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.
Built around how a catering company actually works
Checks date availability against your diary
Takes numbers, venue and style of event
Explains your menus and price per head
Answers while you are running an event
It tells callers what it is
It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a catering company that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.
What catering companies ask us
We are always at events. Who answers then?
Nobody, and Saturday is both your busiest event day and a common enquiry day. Those enquiries are worth thousands each.
Can it quote per head?
From your menus, yes, which is enough to qualify the enquiry before you spend time on a proposal.
Will it record dietary requirements?
Yes, and repeat them back, so they reach your kitchen accurately.
