Introduction
The food industry is one of the most underrated industry in the world because it looks common. I can tell you that chefs constitutes the majority of billionaires in the world.
You can ask KFC, Coca Cola, Mr Bigs, Mcdonalds etc. They will let you know how lucrative the food business is.
Apparently, the basic necessity of man is tied around food, clothing and Shelter. Even according to the Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of needs, Food top the list in the Hierarchy. You can now see how essential food is to life.
If you can’t eat then you can’t do anything else, your activities are function of what you eat.
The Fuel your body and soul need is just food.
Either it be fruits or whatsoever, Just Food.
The Food industry is as old as man.
Kings and Paupers since the days of the old took the issue of food very serious.
What is Catering ?
Catering is the business of providing food service at a remote site or a site such as a hotel, hospital, aircraft, cruise ship, park, filming site or studio, entertainment site, or even cooperate organizations such as banks and offices.
Forms of catering
Catering can be grouped in two major forms
1) On Premises Catering
This is a process whereby the food is cooked and served in the same location.
A perfect example of an On Premises Catering is the native Canteen or restaurant setting.
2) Off Premises Catering;- This is as well where Events Catering fall under…
This is also referred as a form of catering in which the food is cooked at a separate sight and served somewhere else such as Events Hall, Company’s AGM venue, Picnic get together and more…
Starting A Catering Business
This part of the seminar is going to take you very deep strategies needed to start your own money making catering business.
I have come across so many people who lay complains about their catering business not going as planned.
The catering business seems to be more competitive than any other industry because all it just basically needs is interest and willingness to learn. And some innate cooking skills but still need professionals grooming to cushion the effects of being a professional Caterers.
For the benefit of this seminar, i am going to be concentrating on off premises catering, one i believe makes more money than owning a canteen. In other words, Events Catering services
1) Get the Required Knowledge
The way you cook at home is different from the way you handle food for the general public. Therefore, you need more than just innate cooking skills to excel in this line of business. Getting a training on how to become a Professional Caterer.
There many Events Catering Institute around that you can learn the professionalism of Catering Business from such as AHT EVENTS MANAGEMENT and so many of them out there.
Don’t forget you knowing how to cook very few regular food does not mean that you can test run those skills on the catering field to handle Events you need more.
2) Register your Business Name This will give you credibility for much bigger client to be ready to sort after you.
3) Preapare a Business Plan This is a comprehensive document of where and how great you want your Business to grow to. It will also enable you set a goal for your business, set your business on an organised pedestral which can make your busniness ready for any future intrested investors.
4) Choose A Recipe & area of specialization.
You should not go around trying to show that you are a very good caterer by preparing multiple recipe.
Take Mc Donalds for example, they are known for doughnuts, KFC is know for chicken and so on. Note here don’t let out the secrete of your Business to remain in BUSINESS otherwise you will loose your stand to your competitors
5) Set a Business Byline This is what you want your Business to be known for and relate with. Such as …lingering taste …savoring aroma etc.
6) Advertisement Strategy use different means of advertising to secure your first job and watch your business hitting its first deal to make money.
