Establishing your own catering services can be very exciting. This type of food business is significantly less expensive to put up than an actual restaurant and so this is very much ideal for those who want to invest minimally.
As long as you have cooking skills, a list of potential clients and a few crew members, you can begin offering your services business right away.
Of course, you also need to have some equipment for cooking and serving your food. Here’s a list of the tools you will need to have a smooth-running catering business:
Basic Kitchen Tools
Anyone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen should have the basic tools in order to work efficiently.
Slicing ingredients requires a good kitchen knife. A garlic press, oem knife on the other hand, will be useful in crushing cloves of garlic with little effort. When it comes to shredding, shaving, and dusting ingredients, a grater is the item to get.
Other tools you will likely need in the kitchen include peelers, can opener, corkscrew, measuring cups and spoons, timer, pots, pans, and many more.
Cooking Cart
While you will likely do most cooking chores in your kitchen, there are instances when doing that on the site will be much preferable. There are foods that simply taste better when they are freshly cooked and so some clients may ask for that. A cooking cart can be a huge help for you and your team. This type of cart comes with storage shelves where you can put all your ingredients.
Portable Gas Stove
Speaking of outdoor cooking, a portable gas stove can also be a great cooking companion. Although these stoves are smaller than the indoor counterparts, they can be perfect for outdoor grill settings.
Hot Plates and Cold Food Tables
Again, it is important in catering that foods are freshly served. A commercial hot plate can be very efficient in keeping your food hot because they function much like induction plates. On the other hand, cold food tables are designed to keep ice and hotel pans which will help keep your food cold and safe for a few hours.
