I have been working in the food business for 12 years doing events catering. To mention some, outside catering, then went on to venture function catering. I started an event equipment rental as well aside from decor services, cake and pastries production, etc. I can conclude that, mainly, food business is the best way to go.

Operating this kind of business teaches you how to treat customers nicely even when you’re busy. The image of the company is shown by how quickly and correctly you serve guests’ orders and other requests. There must always be happiness among the guests.

As an entrepreneur, I learned how to be responsible when you’re charging customers. It’s also very important that the cash records are correct. Caution must be taken when giving commitments so that there aren’t any gaps.

While working with the kitchen team can be hard, the prize of being praised for making delicious meals is truly amazing. The main thing that an events catering does is serve food. The kitchen is where most of the important work is done, from ordering and buying goods to receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, and serving the food for the client’s guests. Besides all of these things, keeping costs down is also a big priority, too.

There are a lot of different tasks in an events catering business that us, as bosses, have to do. In bisaya, we call it “dal-tan” or dala tanan (doing everything).  To perform all the different parts of the job, you have to be on your toes all the time. The business is in your hands and its success depends on how you handled the client’s event. How the market sees you depends on how well you do as a team leader and an entrepreneur. You have to make sure that all of your preparations come together as necessary and that the tasks run as planned. You also have to get new customers and make money. What you need to do is to reach the goals of the company. You also have to keep all of your staff motivated.

There are many kinds of places. New ideas are brought in to get more people and make your business a star. All kinds of food service are important and add a lot to a place, whether it is outside catering, function buffet, private dining, casual eating, a snack bar, a coffee shop, or a teahouse. Most people will remember the place or the food you served.
