Build your catering dietary request checklist.

How to build your catering dietary request checklist

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep reported dietary requests, guest counts and chef review tied to the event.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the event coordinator records the event and how the head chef reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your catering dietary request checklist

• Keep the event in context

  Keep event, guest count, reported dietary request, source, chef review and confirmation together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  An event form states an allergy but the menu review has not acknowledged it. Flag it for the responsible chef and keep the menu unconfirmed.

• Keep confirmation visible

  Record the chef's response without treating a reported preference as a safety guarantee.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the event coordinator a working view and the head chef a review view. Keep event and guest count attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
