Yep, just START, go for it, go for it, go for it. You will learn on the path, start small, accept you will have disappointments and losses, just start and stick at it. The rest you will learn as you go. Amaala has great advice.
Watching your video got me very emotional because you got me very motivated in following my dream. A dream I didn't even know was my dream. More of a calling. I've been cooking all of my life, and people always buy my dishes. Catering is my goal. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you & your business ❤️❤️ Go Queen Go!
EXCELLENT VIDEO Thank you for sharing this video NOTE: Background Noise/Music was too loud, making it hard to HEAR YOU. We don't need Background Noise/Music We just want to HEAR YOU TALK.
Hi mama! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and courage with us! I am carrying my first child and drove trucks for 4.5 years working 70 hours every week. Two months ago I quit and in the process of moving back down south.. I just refuse to do that any longer. I have always had many talents and passions but food is my heart! I'm a southern girl! We loved fried fish and boiled peanuts.. even freshly chopped fruits. I don't want to go in over my head. Making this conversion is all I see! If you don't mind please maybe we can go over some realistic ideas because I definitely want a refreshing yet lucrative income to support my new life. Thank you and God bless 🙏🏽 ❤
Immensely helpful .... Tremendous tips...love your beautiful energy....hardworking ladies with smiles....thank you for putting out this video... Succulent dishes... Caribbean , awesome...

Your are honest and so down to earth, thank you for your advice. I'm gonna start my "side hustle" then with God's blessings I'll keep forward. Keep growing and getting experience!
I would love an update video if you have the time on any tips on starting and maintaining a catering business in todays market. Where did you cook the food, and how did you handle the budget and price for your service. I would appreciate any feedback
That was a great video detailing how you started your business and how someone could start there's with helpful questions and answers. I love how clearly you expressed each answer and your transitions in the video. I can't wait to see more videos you add. I clicked the bell to get notifications when you post!! Keep up the great hardwork you are putting out there girl 💛

thank you so much for this. I live in the uk and I am trying so hard to put my catering business together, legislations&policies over here are very difficult to get through . I love to cook my practical work is fine. my problem is the business side , although I have business background but its just having a plan to start. my home also is small for inspection etc list goes on. but I believe in my food so much I am practising on family and friends so I have the support. I just need a plan put together I know I can follow from. thank you for this video. really inspiring me to go for it and do more to launch my catering business
You’re welcome and thank you for your comment! Regarding getting your business up and running, try connecting with a caterer or a catering company that’s already established there. Ask them for information regarding how to get started and what steps need to be taken. You’ll be surprised with how helpful other people already in your industry may be. Good luck!
This is really good great video to watch and Learn from.your food looks very good.I Love to cook myself ive been trying to figure out in my head how to start from my Apartment, I'm not sure if I can.
Thank you! You can definitely get started with close friends and family. Regarding selling to the general public from your apartment…you’ll have to check with your local business licensing office.
This is a life-changing video especially for someone who wants to start small. Very precise and informative. Not forgetting how charming you are. You are just an amazing person. Next time, please scale down the music. Otherwise, everything is helpful.
There's so much great information in this video, but the background sound is extremely annoying. thanks for sharing your experiences in the catering business field.
Hi thank you for this informative video! I started my catering business last year & there’s one question I have it sounds so silly but I really need help with. What is the etiquette for getting your catering equipment back after an event? (I.e. chafing stands, coolers, etc) if an event is 3 hours away and I supply them with my equipment, should I stay the full duration of the event to get my equipment back? It always confuses me
I truly appreciate this video! I’m 17 and wanted to start a catering business thank you so much !! I want everything to just come too me but you made me realize I have to start small and work my way there and be patient! Thank you so much ❤️!
Great video! Very informative and concise. Have you ever considered creating an ebook that you could sell to other people looking to get into the business? I would buy one in a heartbeat! Or if you offer any consulting services I'd love to talk to you. I'm looking to start a small part time business catering a senior living RV park and just dont know where to start.
Have you contacted the SBA (Smalll Business Administration). They have a program called SCORE which provides & matches small business owners with FREE mentors. Go on their website!
Sorry to hear that regarding lack of support from your family. But do not let that sway you! Seek support from other places such as previous work places, your community, place of workshop, etc. Be sure to promote your business on all social media platforms as well…you will gain some traction eventually!
It was not a good idea to have music playing over you talking. Just fyi. Just incase you wanted to post without it. It was very distracting. But it seems like a great video.
Thanks for the comment! This was one of the first videos we made a few years ago…was still learning & tweaking how to make videos. The newer ones have much better sound quality and lower music in the background. Would love for you to check out our latest video “A Day in the Life of a Caterer” and leave your thoughts. Thank you!
Yep, just START, go for it, go for it, go for it. You will learn on the path, start small, accept you will have disappointments and losses, just start and stick at it. The rest you will learn as you go. Amaala has great advice.
Thank you! Yes…it can be scary but you’re right…the most important thing is to just get started and the rest will fall into place!

Hi thank you for this informative video!
I started my catering business last year & there’s one question I have it sounds so silly but I really need help with. What is the etiquette for getting your catering equipment back after an event? (I.e. chafing stands, coolers, etc) if an event is 3 hours away and I supply them with my equipment, should I stay the full duration of the event to get my equipment back? It always confuses me
Thanks for the question! We charge a fee to rent the equipment and usually come back about 5 hours after the event to retrieve the equipment!
I truly appreciate this video! I’m 17 and wanted to start a catering business thank you so much !! I want everything to just come too me but you made me realize I have to start small and work my way there and be patient! Thank you so much ❤️!
You’re welcome!
As a catering manager how do you plan for catering business?
Hey thanks for your question! Could you be a little more specific…what part of planning are you wondering about?
I loved your video. It's very informative. The music was a bit much but otherwise the editing and presentation is great. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you found the info to be helpful. TY for watching!
Great video! Very informative and concise. Have you ever considered creating an ebook that you could sell to other people looking to get into the business? I would buy one in a heartbeat!
