Event Catering Preferences Form

Who it's for

Anyone ordering food for a group, from an office lunch to a wedding. Send it to everyone invited, not just to the organisers.

Who answers

The people you invited, before the event. They are not giving you opinions but the facts you need to order: who is coming, what they cannot eat and when they want to sit down.

Use template

What you'll see

Every dietary requirement in one list you can hand straight to the caterer
What style of food and drink people actually want, instead of your guess
When they want to eat. That one answer decides half the planning.

How to get good answers

Send it at least two weeks before you have to confirm numbers with the caterer.
One reminder three days before closing brings in most of the late answers.
Keep the allergy question as open text. A list of common allergens always misses one, and that one is the problem.
Announce a closing date and stick to it, or you will be changing the order the night before.
