8 Awesomely Wise Tips To Being a Successful Caterer In Nigeria. by randwise(m): 5:37am On Jul 13, 2016 |
When it comes to self employment in Nigeria, Catering is one of the best options to look into. This tips will help you whether you're a newbie or a veteran. THE 8 TIPS: 1. Be realistic ■Catering is not glamourous! ■It’s hard work and long hours. ■When others play, you work. Try these truths on for size before you invest any money, time or effort into an extension of your endeavours. Only the strong survive! 2. Cool as a cucumber. Above all you must be able to handle stress and never appear flustered. And that’s not just your stress, but also the “freak-out” levels of stress your client might be experiencing. Realise what’s at stake for them. Trust and powerlessness can be scary emotions for anyone. 3. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. Time is unforgiving in the catering business. Five or ten minutes leeway is acceptable when serving, but half an hour late is not, unless the client has pushed back the clock. Are you reasonably punctual? Examine your ability to deliver in a timely manner. 4. Find your own niche! Remember there are many categories of catering; from Cakes and barbecue to drinks and so on. Establish your own area of excellence and interest. Something you enjoy, something that makes your product different. If successful, you’ll be making lots of it! 5. Listen to your client. Naturally your thoughts and suggestions are what they are looking for, but most clients have some preconceived ideas regards their event. Prize these out. They’ll provide you with guidance and insights. It’s the client you’re trying to please. 6. Start early. Catering is like Christmas. If you leave it until the last minute, you’ll wish you’d started sooner. Many things can be organized in advance such as rentals and the work force. Over time, you’ll become familiar with the natural sequence. Until then, make lots of lists. 7. Be Friendly and flexible. 8. Belle of the Ball. Clients love to know they have thrown a social smash. Share some of the comments and compliments that came your way. Part of the point is to glow in the glorious aftermath of the event – and that goes for you too! **** 5 Likes 1 Share

Be a woman...a cute one does help. All the Nigerian Parties I ever attended, if the caterers weren't corporate they are Women. Where are the Feminists, we need EQUALITY. |
