The first thing I found was I needed a kitchen I cooperated with a soup kitchen in our city. I got to use the facility free and I aranged a weekly meal service in return. Did not bad but just didnt take off mostly because I tried to be all things to all people, big mikstake. Go with your stroung suit. I have now and have been doing outdoor events mostly BBQ and my reputation has grown. I also suggest a little something to set you apart from others. I use my sauces and the fact that we will feed you anywhere any time. It all comes down to not good but Great Food Great service. Not just marketing but being a good member of a community offer your services to a local charity to help them raise funds if you are catering a donor dinner you are getting to demo for a good money crowd. Know your local regulations and like any great chef remember the money is secondary the real payoff is the joy of the prep and the almost orgasmic feeling of your customers thanking you for a great meal. Feel free to email me. Oh ya and read the posts here best info I have found in ten years of surfing and 15 years of catering.
