Events, weddings, corporate. Feed two hundred people in a field, on time.

Catering is a logistics business with a kitchen attached: the food is the easy part, and the vans, the hired crockery, the casual staff and the power in a marquee are where jobs go wrong. Weddings pay deposits a year ahead, which is lovely for cash flow until a season is cancelled. Corporate clients book more often but pay on their own terms, so chasing invoices becomes a weekly job.
