Catering Business?

Question

I'm planning on starting a catering business. What are the pros and cons?

Answer 1

This type of business is hard work which requires that you're constantly selling since your clients are unlikely to come back with frequency. There are also all the issues that usually apply with food businesses--perishable supplies, the need to have help the exact time and date that you need it, etc.

Answer 2

I'm planning to start one as well. I will note your answers and From what I have learned about this industry is that the location is an important factor for attracting your customers. Good quality or High quality of the food served is a must. The service ought to be the best in the industry. And ambience is yet another thing people come for to enjoy again and again.



As said earlier availability of goods*(veggies or meat or fish or any perishables) on time and their storage must be given due care. Proximity to market helps.



A chef who should be dedicated in his/her cooking is a must.



Being Exotic can do some magic for a while.



Decoration, interiors, music, lightings,cutlery,

furniture are everything minutest should be given attention to details.



Understand and observe people and their desire for food and the kind of service they expect from you.



Explore a lot before you indulge.

Good luck!
