There is a lot that goes into starting your own business. It is important to logically think through pricing and costs, staff, equipment, and overall having what it takes to become a business owner. Take a look at three helpful tips to answer these questions for you.
Network With Event and Wedding Planners
Caterers are mostly hired by event planners so it is important to make good connections with the event industry and offer special discounts or deals to build relationships with new clients. Building your network will improve your business and connect you with more potential clients.
Rent Catering Equipment
No need to buy everything you need for your business. Renting cuts costs and is a much easier route when first starting out a new business. As time goes on, you can slowly build inventory. Easing into this process will allow you to have a safe start and keep track of costs better.
Set Your Catering Prices
Setting price hours straight with your clients will help track the work you do per hour. Loss and profit statements are needed for everything you do. Cost is everything so it is smart to set price estimates right away so you can let people know your rate before getting talked down.
