Sacramento Planners — Common Questions
Why would a Sacramento caterer refuse to set a menu early?
Because the produce that decides the menu is not planted yet. Kitchens here buy from growers close to the city, and a dish written in January can be unavailable in September. Expect a shape early and the detail later.
What should I decide before the menu, then?
Service style, the number of courses, and whether you want stations or seated. Those choices drive staffing and rentals, and none of them depend on what is ripe. A planner will push for those and leave the dishes open.
Does a late menu make the tasting less useful?
It changes what a tasting is for. You are judging the kitchen and the service style rather than approving a final list. Ask which elements are fixed and which are placeholders before you sit down.
Is a farm venue outside the city different from a downtown room?
Usually yes. Downtown rooms tend to come with a kitchen and a set list, while a farm often takes an outside caterer and a rented kitchen. The second needs power, water and a prep area planned in.
How do I compare quotes when the menu is not final?
Ask each caterer to price the same service style, staffing level and course count. That makes the quotes comparable even when the dishes differ, and it exposes who has left staffing out.
