The opportunity
Why this business works now
Catering customers pay for dependable food, service and timing rather than meals alone. Events, funerals, weddings and workplace contracts create different order sizes and booking patterns, allowing the business to balance once-off functions with repeat clients. The plan explains quotations, menu costing, preparation, transport and service.
Several event markets
The model covers funerals, weddings, private events and corporate catering.
Advance bookings
Deposits and confirmed guest numbers help plan purchasing and production.
Repeat contracts
Workplace meals and regular functions can balance seasonal event demand.
