How to Run a Catering Business from Home

Rating:
Summary: Excellent resource!
Review: I found this book to be exceedingly helpful in starting up my catering business. It provides a complete overview of the busiiness, how it should operate, what you should know, and how to make it successful. It's a terrific choice for a new business owner, or one considering the business of catering.

Summary: This book isn't even vaguely worth the price.
Review: I'm sorry I wasted my money on this book; I'd seen it mentioned in various catalogs but hadn't been able to find it in my bookstores, so I didn't know what I was getting. It offers only a glib tone with mostly unhelpful anecdotes and an absolute dearth of useful details. You'll probably know even less about starting a home-based catering business after reading it than before.

Rating:
Summary: too vague and general
Review: this book is more about general catering, rather than how to start your own business. after reading this book, i did not feel i knew what my next steps were. a much better book is "how to start your own home-based catering businees" by denise vivaldo. she writes about legal ramifications, insurance, budgets (with worksheets and what % normally is spent on food, service, etc), business plans (with excerpts from her own), menu examples, and resources! i found that book very, very, very imformative on how to start a legitimate business
