What important detail should event planners share with caterers?

  1. Dietary restrictions of guests

  2. Number of guests on social media

  3. Group needs more plates and larger coffee mugs

  4. Preferred music for the event

The correct answer is: Group needs more plates and larger coffee mugs

The most crucial detail for event planners to share with caterers is the dietary restrictions of guests. Communicating dietary needs ensures that all attendees can enjoy the meal without health risks or discomfort. This information allows the caterers to plan and prepare appropriate food options, accommodating various restrictions such as allergies, veganism, or other dietary preferences. While the number of guests on social media may provide a sense of interest or buzz around the event, it does not directly impact catering decisions. Similarly, details about group needs for plates and mugs, although important, are secondary to ensuring all guests can safely partake in the food. Preferred music might enhance the atmosphere of the event but does not influence the catering process. Therefore, dietary restrictions are the most relevant and important detail for caterers to create a successful menu tailored to the attendees' needs.
