START UP A MOBILE CATERING BUSINESS
STEP1. PLANNING
What types 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 healthy food
trends, but most importantly, you need to find something that will sell with a
good profit margin and attracts the public to buy over and over again.
Many new mobile catering businesses fall into
the trap of choosing to theme their business around only one particular food
product and find that as a consequence they do not appeal to the vast majority
of the buying public, therefore resulting in the business failing through
struggling to sell enough of their products.
You may love a particular type of food and
think that everyone else will, but how many other people do you know who do and
will pay regularly to eat that particular food. Do your home work, just because
you've never seen another mobile caterer selling the same food product does not
necessarily mean you've hit upon a niche market. It could be that more
experienced mobile caterers have found that the product was difficult to
prepare, cooking times were too long, safe storage was difficult or it simply
did not have a wide enough appeal and was very difficult to sale. Yes, you could
argue that they didn't sell the product as you intend to, but at the end of the
day you're in business to make money and not trying to prove a point.
