: LOOKING FOR HELP FINDING GOOD EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL FOR STARTING A CATERING BUSINESS. IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A RESTAURANT AND WOULD LIKE TO DO CATERING FROM THE RESTAURANT. NEED HELP WITH CATERING MENUS, RECIPES, PREPARATION ETC..... OR IF THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE BOSTON AREA WILLING TO LET ME PICK THEIR BRAIN I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!
First, you can stop screaming....
Second, the absolutely best book on the subject that I have found has just been published by my friend, Mike Roman, catering educational guru of CaterSource.
You can purchase his book from his site or by calling the 800 number there.
Coincidentally, you will find that I am not only a professional caterer, but an expert and a part of the CaterSource Consulting Team in the area of "catering from restaurant" which is how I built my now separate and independent catering business....
If you are into consultants (the fastest and least expensive ways to get profitable), then consider hiring me or Mike. If you like doing it the hard way with a little help, I will be happy to answer any specific questions you have concerning this business here at Caterers Corner.
