The business of catering itself is pretty routine once you get the business going. A caterer is simply a restaurant in which every order is delivered. You'll have the usual concerns of food preparation, pricing, storing, and serving, without the need for a wait staff or a dining area but with the need for delivery drivers and service staff at the delivery point.

Starting the catering business, however, takes some imagination. Your priority as a small business owner is not to change the face of business, but rather how you grow your business from one level to another level of expansion while staying profitable. By continuing to focus on a small niche while expanding, you can take the time necessary educating your prospects and customers about the advantages which you bring to the market.

There almost isn't such a thing as a general-purpose caterer. There are wedding, bar-mitzvah, graduation and birthday caterers. There are simple party caterers. Others market to a specific field of business, such as construction and industrial. One memorable company in California specializes in catering for film crews shooting on location. Their name is "The Cast Supper".

That's the kind of creativity you want. A specific area where you specialize, lucrative enough to provide steady business, and with an unforgettable name and business image that will make your clients think of you first whenever they are in need. Once you develop your strategies, continue to develop them and redefine them until everybody recognizes you to be the obvious leader in your small niche. Later you can expand beyond your small niche.

Styling and theme will go a long way towards making your business be the one that stands out.

If you partner with a mobile DJ service, you can become a mobile party on wheels! Mobile Disk Jockeys and caterers have a lot in common, and DJs specialize in a category of music and theme as well. Together, you can create a style that markets to a specific culture such as Goth, Hip-Hop, or Salsa. In addition, a caterer and a mobile DJ can refer customers to each other, and can further partner with a party decoration service such as a balloon service.

Every thing you need to plan:

Expected Income: This is a rough expectation of what you can make month to month. Identifying your market is key here; if your market tends to seasonal variations you'll need to plan for times of year when you aren't getting as much business.

Initial set up costs: The initial costs are moderately low compared to opening a traditional restaurant. The costs are not much and you can start pretty small, with even a home-based business if you do not have lots of capital at hand. Starting in the home may require seed money of a few thousand dollars, but by the time you're taking contracts you'll be up to business costs of at least tens of thousands of dollars. When you start taking contracts, you might consider to mainly cook on location, but even then lots of small stuff like cleaning and cutting vegetables will be done in your kitchen only. The main cooking could be done on location so you can first rent the kitchen equipment every time you need it instead on investing in buying everything. Utensils, china, tables, serving equipment, and such are available for renting so you can cut costs this way.

Getting a License: Usually the local health department gives the requisite permissions. The caterers have to fulfill certain minimum safety requirements for getting the license. Once you get a license there will be routine in
