Frequently Asked Questions

What types of events does Shilin typically cater to in Shanghai, and do they have experience with my event size?**
Shilin works with various event types including corporate functions, banquets, and celebrations throughout Shanghai. Before committing, ask about their portfolio of similar-sized events and request client references. This helps ensure they have the staffing capacity and kitchen resources to handle your specific guest count and event complexity. **
How do I get a customized quote, and what information should I provide upfront?**
Since Shilin uses a "contact for pricing" model, you'll need to reach out directly with details: guest count, event date and duration, venue location, dietary restrictions, preferred cuisine style, and any special service requirements. The more specific information you provide initially, the faster they can provide an accurate proposal and avoid back-and-forth revisions. **
What's typically included in their catering service, and what might require additional costs?**
Standard catering packages usually include food preparation, service staff, and basic table setup. However, clarify separately: whether beverages and bar service are included, rental costs for linens/plates/glassware, gratuity policies, overtime fees, and setup/breakdown labor. These variables significantly impact final pricing in Shanghai's competitive market. **
Can Shilin accommodate dietary restrictions and specialized cuisines, and how far in advance do they need to know?**
Most professional Shanghai caterers can handle common restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher) and regional cuisines with proper notice. Confirm their experience level with your specific requirements and provide a detailed headcount breakdown of dietary needs at least 2-3 weeks before your event to ensure ingredient sourcing and menu planning. **
How does Shilin handle food safety, kitchen hygiene, and food sourcing standards?**
Ask directly about their food safety certifications, supplier vetting practices, and whether they follow Shanghai health department regulations. Request information about their kitchen facilities inspection records and whether they source locally or import ingredients—this affects both quality and potential supply chain delays. **
What happens if we need to adjust guest count, menu items, or timing closer to the event date?**
Clarify their modification policies and deadline cutoffs. Most caterers require final headcount 5-7 days before service, with charges for last-minute additions. Understand their flexibility on menu changes and whether adjustments made within certain timeframes incur fees or are absorbed in the original quote.
