EVERYTHING FOR EVENT AND LEISURE RELATED BUSINESSES
IN ONE PLACE |
 |
 |
|
In the excitement and enthusiasm to start up a
mobile catering business lots of elaborate menu ideas are often put together without much
real thought going into practical usability and consumer demand for the menu items. This is a common early mistake that many existing mobile caterers will tell you they made when they first started up and through experience have reduced their menu to the items that actually sell well, are quick to prepare and cook under pressure and
importantly are easy to safely store if not used or sold. |
Deciding what type of foods to sell
This is where the real fun begins, deciding which
food products your new
mobile catering business will sell. You may be thinking of selling something
unique, something different, something in tune with the latest food
trends, but most importantly, you need to find something that will sell with a
good profit margin and will attract the public to buy over and over again...

Business Planning |
Creating a manageable menu from scratch
You don't need a huge amount of different food products to put together a fairly good menu. From the basic food items of burger buns, hotdog rolls, jumbo sausages, burgers, rindless back bacon, eggs and cheese slices you can put together a variety of simple saleable fast food menu items. |
1. Basic burger (burger and bun)
2. Cheeseburger (burger, cheese slice and bun)
3. Jumbo hot dog (jumbo sausage and hotdog roll)
4. Bacon roll (2 rashers bacon, burger bun or hotdog roll)
5. Bacon and egg roll (2 rashers bacon, 1 egg and burger bun)
6. Sausage and egg roll (jumbo sausage flowered, burger bun, 1 egg)
7. Breakfast roll (jumbo sausage flowered, 2 bacon, burger bun, 1 egg) |

Round Up |
As you can see from the examples above you can carry on combining items to create your menu. It's not a healthy eaters menu but can be easily adapted to a healthy menu by using the same principal of selecting no more than ten basic food items. Try changing burgers with chicken breast, burger buns with granary rolls, cheese and eggs with fresh salad or salsa sauce.
