Plan power for your pizza catering setup
Electricity needs to be suitable at the operating position. A socket somewhere on the site is not a complete power plan.
Ask about the allocated equipment
Electricity is required for the service. The catering team confirms the supply requirements for the unit booked, and the client arranges a suitable supply at the agreed location and time. Do not infer a rating, plug type or oven fuel from a picture. Ask for the actual requirement before asking the venue to confirm what it can provide.
Check the position as well as the supply
Show the venue the agreed serving position and ask who can authorise the supply there. Discuss the route between the source and unit with the responsible venue contact and catering team. Any cable or distribution arrangements need to be considered with guest routes and site rules. Do not move the unit or improvise electrical connections to make an unsuitable plan fit.
Raise missing utilities before the event
If electricity is unavailable, the service may be able to provide its own power for an additional charge arranged in advance and agreed in writing. It is not automatically included. Any clean-water or other utility requirements are confirmed for the particular booking. Put unresolved questions into the quotation discussion rather than leaving them for arrival.
Keep power and connectivity separate
Providing power does not provide Wi-Fi. If your proposed arrangement includes equipment or guest food payments that need a connection, discuss connectivity as its own requirement. Do not assume a normal prepaid catering booking requires a guest payment system. Confirm which services are actually included and what each needs, then keep the venue and caterer working from the same information.
