Frequently Asked Questions
- What's included in a typical catering package from a Shanghai-based vendor like Laoxingxian?**
- Standard catering packages usually include food preparation, serving staff, basic tableware, and beverages. However, specifics vary widely—some vendors include setup and cleanup while others charge separately. Contact Laoxingxian directly to understand their base package and what add-ons (linens, premium beverages, extended staff hours) cost extra. **
- How much lead time do I need to book catering in Shanghai?**
- Most Shanghai catering services require 2-4 weeks minimum for standard events, though rush bookings may be possible with upcharges. For custom menus or larger guest counts (200+), 4-6 weeks is safer. Call +86 21 5155 3927 early to confirm Laoxingxian's availability and whether your event date is feasible. **
- Can Shanghai caterers handle dietary restrictions and international preferences?**
- Yes, but requirements vary by vendor. Shanghai caterers typically manage vegetarian and common allergies, but specialized diets (gluten-free, vegan, religious requirements) need advance notice. Ask Laoxingxian specifically which restrictions they've handled before and whether they source specialty ingredients locally or need import time. **
- How is pricing typically structured for catering services in Shanghai?**
- Most caterers quote per-person rates (usually ¥80–300+ per head depending on menu complexity), with potential add-ons for premium menus, extended service hours, equipment rental, and delivery. Since Laoxingxian lists "contact for pricing," request quotes for 2-3 guest count scenarios to compare value and understand their pricing model. **
- What should I ask about staffing and service style?**
- Clarify whether Laoxingxian provides wait staff, bartenders, or kitchen support; whether they manage plating and presentation; and what their staff-to-guest ratio is. Also confirm if they can adapt to your event's style (buffet, plated, cocktail, family-style) and whether service extends through the full event duration. **
- How do Shanghai caterers handle logistics for events at different venues?**
- Logistics vary—some caterers work exclusively at partner venues while others are flexible. Ask Laoxingxian if they've worked at your specific venue before, whether they have kitchen facilities on-site or need to prep off-site, and what their travel/setup fees are for venues outside central Shanghai.
