Frequently asked questions
How much do catering staff and hire add?
Staffing and equipment hire can add 20-40% on top of the food, especially for plated service and events without a venue kitchen. Servers, chefs, bar staff, crockery, glassware and linen all cost. Get these itemised so you can compare like with like.
Is a service charge or gratuity expected?
Many caterers add a service charge (often 15-22%) covering staff; confirm whether it's included or extra, and whether it goes to the team. Where a service charge is applied, an additional tip is usually optional. Clarify this before signing to avoid a surprise on the final invoice.
How do I find a good caterer near me in Geylang?
In Geylang, get quotes from three caterers with a written per-head and staffing breakdown, check food-hygiene registration and reviews, and do a tasting for bigger events. Compare on total cost per guest including staff and hire, not the headline food price.
How much does catering cost per person?
Caterers price per head, and the service style drives it: a drop-off or finger buffet is cheapest, a served buffet mid-range, and a plated multi-course dinner the most. Staffing, bar service, hire (crockery, linen) and travel are usually on top of the per-head food price.
How much is catering in Geylang?
In Geylang, expect the national typical per head for your service style, with plated service, premium menus and full staffing pushing the total up. Ask whether the quote includes staff, hire, service charge and travel, not just food.
What does catering cost per head in Singapore?
Buffet catering runs roughly S$20-60 per head and banquet/plated formats S$60-160, before setup and staffing. Hotel banquet weddings are priced per table of 10; a 100-guest event commonly totals S$8,000-30,000.
