: My business has been successful since we began 5 years ago. We have a gourmet deli that is 35% of revenue at this point and 110% of the head aches. I would love to
: close the retail and only cater, but don't have the guts and wonder if the growth of the catering will continue. Any past experience with this?
:

Premise being, you spend time convincing customers why they should pay 1.19 for your great cookie and you lose a 6000.00 wedding while you are tied up with the idiot....

Think this through... you have to be excellent to survive the long term... I assume you have a nice catering base now... It takes time and / or money to develop a great catering business...

I too would like to know what you mean by 35% of your revenue... where does the other 65% come from, catering???

Blessings,

Carl
