Читать книгу Start & Run a Catering Business - George Erdosh - Страница 12

As briefly discussed in Chapter 1, certain essential skills are a must for running a catering service. You are starting small and you must be able to run the business without help from time to time: when your helper is sick, when no one is available on such short notice, or when a small-business luncheon is only profitable if you do it yourself. Whatever the reason, you don’t want the extra worry of not being able to execute every part of the event competently.

Here are the essential skills and knowledge you must have:

• Competency in cooking and food preparation

• The highest degree of planning and organizational skill

• A high degree of efficiency

• Ability to work well under pressure

• Skills in problem solving and crisis management

• An artistic touch in food presentation

• Ability to deal with clients confidently and successfully

Let’s discuss each of these essentials individually.
