You are going to start your own catering business, but what do you need for this?

Starting a restaurant: a dream for many! A number of people dare to take that step and turn that dream into reality. Unfortunately, the reality is that not every new catering entrepreneur will make it. Starting a restaurant is not easy. Apart from the financial picture, you also really need perseverance. In most cases it is a matter of hard work and patience.

But what exactly is involved? When starting a catering business you have to deal with various government regulations. Such as fire safety and hygiene, but also the correct permits. You also want to purchase the right cutlery and glasses. In this blog you can read what you need if you start your own catering business.

Start a catering business

You are going to make your dream come true: starting your own restaurant, or perhaps starting your own bar or sandwich shop. When setting up a business, it can help you to look at the 'four P's'. In other words, the marketing mix of your company where you look at 'product' , 'place' , 'price' and 'promotion' . Ask yourself the right questions regarding your catering business, such as:

• Which cuisine am I going to serve? Is this distinctive enough? Is there a market for it? What about the competition?
• What requirements must the building meet? Where can I find this property? Which locations are and are not suitable?
• What will be the price level of my restaurant? Is there a target group for that?
• How am I going to get my restaurant off the ground? Who can help me with this?

With the marketing mix you create a strong foundation for your company. You also have to arrange a number of practical matters. Register with the Chamber of Commerce, take out insurance, comply with environmental regulations and adhere to certain hygiene rules. You can do the latter through a HACCP plan. Here you describe how you will follow the hygiene rules. It is therefore important to read this carefully.

After you have arranged this and found the dream location for your own catering business, you are ready to furnish the business. The fun work can begin! You can completely create your own style here. Are you going for a quiet, elegant atmosphere or a striking, colorful interior?
