Hey cheffy!
I'm wondering what the catering business is like and since careers are on topic, I was wondering if you could enlighten a passionate 15 year old about your job.

Well,
At first I wanted to be a chef, until I realized that I wouldn't get to be out and about much and talking to people would be hard. I'm an extreme extrovert and need people. So I figured that catering would be the job for me.
I have heard that the job is not consistent, which is fine, I live off of tips as a waitress/hostess anyway, but what do you do when it isn't crazy? Around how much profit do you make per party? I've read on everything I can find but it seems that personal experience is the best way for this. I would love to know everything about what you do and how you do it but perhaps it isn't meant for the forum. Please, feel free to private message me.
