Food Preference Questionnaire Form
Stop guessing what your guests can and can't eat. Collect dietary restrictions, food allergies, and cuisine preferences in one organized form before the menu is set.
Event planners and caterers who collect dietary information through casual conversation or a single email question often arrive at the event with gaps they didn't plan for. A guest with a severe allergy who wasn't accounted for creates a situation that advance planning would have prevented. Typeform's food preference questionnaire template gives event teams a reliable way to collect complete dietary information from every guest before finalizing the menu.
The form captures dietary restrictions, food allergies, preferred cuisines, specific dislikes, and any medical dietary requirements in one submission. Questions appear one at a time, giving respondents space to provide detail a standard RSVP checkbox rarely captures. Conditional logic adapts the form based on a respondent's dietary profile. A respondent with an allergy sees follow-up questions about the specific allergen and severity; one with no restrictions moves to cuisine preferences.
Customize the form to match your event type, menu categories, and catering style. Share it via email, embed it on your event page, or include it as part of your RSVP process. Every response feeds into Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier, so your catering team works from one organized list rather than a scattered collection of emails. Your caterer walks in knowing exactly what every guest needs and there are no surprises at the table.
A food preference questionnaire form is a structured survey that event planners, caterers, and nutritionists use to collect dietary information from guests or clients before planning a menu. It captures food allergies, dietary restrictions, cuisine preferences, and specific dislikes in one submission. Use it so every guest has something to eat and your catering team works from a complete, accurate list.
Food allergies are medical conditions, and serving an allergen to a guest who disclosed it creates serious liability. A guest who can't eat anything at the event also reflects poorly on the host, regardless of why it happened. A food preference questionnaire form collects that information before the menu is set, so no one is overlooked.
Cover safety needs and personal preferences:
- Food allergies and severity level
- Dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, halal, kosher, etc.)
- Preferred cuisines and flavor profiles
- Foods or ingredients strongly disliked
- Medical dietary requirements (low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, etc.)
Yes. Send the form to recurring clients, employees, or program participants at the start of a new period and update your records as responses come in. Connect the form to Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier so new submissions automatically update the relevant row rather than creating duplicates. Your catering or nutrition team always works from the most current dietary information.
Conditional logic branches questions based on a respondent's dietary profile. A respondent who indicates a food allergy sees follow-up questions about the specific allergen, severity, and whether they carry an EpiPen. One who has no allergies moves directly to preference questions. Serious dietary information gets the depth it needs without adding unnecessary questions for everyone else.
