User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star How to Start a Catering Business when you don’t know what the hell you’re doing
There is no rating low enough – this book surely does not deserve even 1 star! Poorly written, double spaced, obviously not proofread…not a book I would have ever bought if I had been able to look at it in the store before buying.

4 Stars A Good Book ABout Catering
I liked this book because it is written in simple language and goes over the nuts and bolts of the catering business. It talks about pricing, portioning, and etiquettes for servers and bar tenders. I think it gives you enough information to decide whether catering is for you. I liked it.

5 Stars good things come in small packages
This is a small book but packed with fabulous information and tips. Highly recommend this book!

2 Stars Was this a 6th grader’s book report?
How disappointing. I was eager to receive this book and as it only took about 45 minutes to read from front to back, I didn’t put it down because I kept thinking that there had to be some redeeming value. Some useful tidbit of information that I as a person who has never catered anything could use. There was not one thing in this book that someone with common sense wouldn’t think of themselves. There appears to be only one reason this book was written. The author had enjoyed being a caterer and when she left the field to raise her son, she needed money. I’m only sorry that she didn’t put more effort and thought into it.

4 Stars Good information
This book is written in easy to understand terms for the catering beginner. The author shares some humorous stories and mistakes with the reader. Includes some great recipes and menu ideas.
