Emerging Career: Caterer |
||
We said: What is being a Caterer all about? She said: It’s about food and helping people celebrate special moments in their lives. When clients contact me, we get together and talk about their favorite food and drink. I also need to know the number of guests, the budget, date, location and the theme of the event. Then I propose a menu that I hope everyone will like. As well as preparing the food, I am responsible for delivery and serving the food. |
We said: What are the best and hardest parts of being a Caterer? She said: The best part is creating healthy, innovative food. I like to use a lot of fruits and vegetables. The worst part is sorting invoices and paying bills. I love food and parties, I hate bookkeeping! |
We said: How did you get started as a Caterer? She said: I had a birthday party business with a friend when I was in high school. It was so much fun to plan activities and decorate. My friend and I would make the cake and snacks. Then I worked as a waitress for awhile, but it just wasn’t as much fun. So I went to culinary school and learned about cooking and food presentation as well as party planning. Now I do what I love everyday. |
