START UP A MOBILE CATERING BUSINESS |
STEP1. PLANNING |
|

What types of foods to sell continued
There are three main ways of looking at how to choose the right food
products to sell, one way of thinking is to stick with the traditional fast food
products (burgers, hot dogs, chips etc) which, regardless of food trends,
government warnings and media healthy eating campaigns always seem to out sell
the more healthy or specialist food options on the menu. Food storage and
preparation can be simpler and a fairly extensive menu can be created from very
few products. Traditional fast foods will provide a good reliable steady income
and are ideal for the new startup mobile catering business. |
|
|
| The second way is to opt to go down the more
healthier and specialist route with products such as baked jacket potatoes,
salad filled baguettes, crepes, oriental meals etc. The downside to this option
is that as previously mentioned you may run the risk of narrowing your appeal,
some products may take longer to prepare and cooking times for products may be
longer than traditional fast foods. The upside is that people who are looking
for something more healthier will pay a premium for good quality specialist
products. |
|
|
| The best and third way is to combine the above
two food types, by providing both a selection of traditional fast food products
with a selection of healthy alternatives such as baked jacket potatoes you will
be appealing to all tastes and keeping everybody happy. As a new startup
business you need to keep the money flowing and not turn away potential
customers through not being able to accommodate their requirements. |
