  "faq": [
    {
      "question": "How were these caterers chosen?",
      "answer": "Each one has a street address in the Atlanta metro on its own site, corporate, office or event catering listed as a service, a menu published on its own site (a page, PDF or image), and a current site (a 2026 copyright or a dated 2026 page). A caterer counts here when its own site presents catering as its main service, not a restaurant, cafe or bakery that also caters. More caterers were found than fit on one page, so a fixed draw set the order they were checked in: the SHA-256 hash of the text 'atc-p5-2026-11-02|' plus the site's domain name, sorted in ascending order. It ignores quality, price and size. Each caterer was checked against the rules in that order, and the first ten that passed are on this page. Four more caterers found in search were not reached and not checked in full: Catering By Phyllis, Post Exchange Catering, Proof of the Pudding and Tucker's Catering. The pool is the caterers that searches turned up, and Atlanta has many more. Marketplaces such as ezCater, ZeroCater and CaterCow were used only to find names, and their ratings, reviews and prices are not published here. The page lists caterers in alphabetical order and does not rank them."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where do the prices come from?",
      "answer": "Only from each caterer's own menu pages, menu PDFs and FAQ pages, read on 2026-11-02 and shown in US dollars. Each price says what it covers, such as per person, per boxed lunch or per pan, and any minimum. Many caterers publish only some menus, only typical price points, or no prices at all. Delivery fees, service charges and tax are listed only where a page states them. Menus can change, and some menu files carry no date, so check the caterer's page before you order."
    },
    {
      "question": "What does \"Not publicly stated\" mean?",
      "answer": "The caterer's own pages did not say. It does not mean the answer is no. A page that says 'request a quote' instead of giving a price or a term is also shown as not stated, with the caterer's wording in the note."
