Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing
We are planning from abroad and the supplier includes served dinner, kids' menu, vegetarian option and table service. The number is EUR 105 per guest, but allergies, cake service and late-night coffee are priced separately.

To compare properly, split food, staff, rentals, drinks, transport and late-night service. For family celebration, a cheap menu can stop being cheap if glassware, staff after midnight or setup are outside the line items. In this thread, "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Quick update: I am asking for menu, drinks, staff, transport and cleaning as separate lines. In Parma, Emilia-Romagna, the question is less "is it expensive?" and more "what can still be added later?". In this thread, "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing" is the line I would use so the supplier understands the problem quickly.

Ask who will physically be there on the event day in Parma, Emilia-Romagna. The person selling the service is not always the person solving problems on site. I would keep this question open until the supplier replies in writing, because the small unclear line is usually the expensive one. This is my check 1 for "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

For catering, check staff, drinks, rentals, transport, cake service and clearing time. A menu can look cheap while service makes the final bill move. For this specific thread, I would write "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing" at the top of the supplier recap so everyone answers the same case. This is my check 2 for "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

Ask for quantities per guest, not just attractive dish names. A buffet without pieces, service points and refill timing is hard to compare. Because the event is in Parma, Emilia-Romagna, I would also ask who is reachable on the day, not only who sends the quote. This is my check 3 for "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.

For open bar, I want duration, included brands, ice, glasses, bartenders and what happens when the package ends. With EUR 6,300, the useful comparison is the calm one: same hours, same guests, same responsibilities. This is my check 4 for "Parma catering at EUR 105 per guest: what is still missing", so the replies stay on the real case rather than a generic Italy event.
