Catering offers you a lot of
surprises that might leave
you either feeling stressed or
overwhelmed. But admit it.
Should always have plans on
your mind to trouble shoot
problems and make sure that
the event runs as smooth and
flawless as it can be.
You’re packing up your stuff already to deliver
food for a bar mitzvah when you’ve suddenly
realized that one of your staffs prepared
ordinary hotdogs rather than the traditional
kosher hotdogs. An emergency situation to
troubleshoot, indeed. There goes your plan B,
of course! Get someone to the grocery to grab
the right ingredients.






The key to getting ready all the time is
staying organized.
Get your list of to-dos and must-haves ready
and check them a lot of times before you hit
the venue.
Ask someone to check them, as well, since
you’re also prone to forgetting some stuff,
too.




It pays to ask your
client about the
location of the event
so you can do a site
visit.
This will help you a
lot in making sure
that you can plot a
nice layout of how
tables should be
arranged and the
food laid.






Always keep your on eye even on the smallest
details of your business.
Be open for suggestions, especially if it’s for
everyone’s good.
Provide adequate training to your staff and
oversee them as they work






Be ethical, respectful (both
to your clients and your
staff), and customercentered.
Be transparent and be
truthful in every service
that you offer.
Don’t provide misleading
information. Stick to your
price and never surprise
your clients with lastminute add-on.






Be yourself and let your business stick to its
identity.
Don’t constantly change your service or
menus for the sake of riding with what’s
popular.
Focus on where you’re best at you’ll carve an
image for yourself.




When pressure mounts and demand
heightens, giving in to your emotions won’t
help. Stay cool and stress will more likely stay
away.
Manage your time effectively, delegate tasks,
set realistic goals and work on it one at a
time and you’ll be OK.


With a catering software, it’s easy to book
appointments, design a customized menu
plan, budget, and organize everything, so it’s
quite a value for money investment.
“A catering software is a wise investment that
will make every caterer’s life convenient and
productive.”
