  • What questions should I ask a caterer?

    When considering a caterer, it's important to inquire about their experience, such as the number of weddings they cater annually and how long they've been in business. Additionally, ask about their ability to cater at various venues and whether they possess a license to serve alcohol. These questions will help you gauge their expertise and capabilities.

  • What makes a good cater?

    A superior caterer is distinguished by their exceptional customer service. They recognize that catering extends beyond simply providing delicious food; it's about creating a positive and memorable experience for both clients and guests. This comprehensive approach ensures a successful event.

  • How do I get the most value from catering services?

    To maximize value from catering services, consider opting for cost-effective menu options such as sandwiches, wraps, or a barbecue buffet. These choices are typically more affordable as they're easier to prepare and transport, while still being popular among guests.

  • What is the 3-2-1 barbecue rule?

    The 3-2-1 method for barbecue ribs involves a three-step process: smoking the ribs for three hours to infuse them with wood-fired flavor, wrapping them in foil for two hours to ensure tenderness, and finally, saucing them for one hour to achieve a delicious caramelization. This technique results in perfectly cooked, flavorful ribs.

  • What is the first rule of grilling?

    The primary rule of grilling is patience. This involves several key steps: preheating your grill thoroughly, searing with confidence, keeping the hood closed during cooking, and flipping food carefully. It's crucial to avoid excessive handling of the food and to allow it to rest before serving for optimal results.

  • What are two dishes that are traditionally barbecued?

    Two classic barbecue dishes are ribs and chicken. Ribs, particularly pork varieties like baby back or spare ribs, are favored for their tender meat and ability to absorb smoky flavors. Chicken, whether cooked whole, in halves, or as individual pieces like thighs or drumsticks, is another versatile and popular choice for barbecuing. Both are typically cooked over wood or charcoal for an authentic smoky taste.

  • What questions to ask a fundraiser?

    When engaging with a donor, it's beneficial to ask questions that reveal their motivations and aspirations. Examples include: 'What legacy do you wish to leave?', 'How do you envision our organization in a decade?', 'What accomplishments are you most proud of?', 'What's your earliest memory of giving back?', and 'If you could change the world, what would you do?'. These questions can provide valuable insights into a donor's desires and values.

  • What is the 80/20 rule in fundraising?

    In fundraising, the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, suggests that approximately 80% of funds often come from about 20% of donors. This principle highlights the importance of focusing on key donors who contribute significantly to an organization's fundraising efforts.

  • What is the number one rule of fundraising?

    The fundamental rule of fundraising is to know your donors thoroughly. Effective fundraising relies on cultivating relationships with donors and requesting support in proportion to their giving capacity. It's crucial for nonprofits to understand their donors as comprehensively as possible to maximize fundraising success.
