The last few months, I've been debating if I wanted to continue my catering business because of the stress of moving kitchens all the time! It's been taking a toll on my body! I've asked the universe for a kitchen to help me and I haven't been able to find one!
Plus another thing that's frustrating is when you have set prices and people want to low ball you on your orders! They don't take into consideration that the food costs are rising, I have to rent my kitchen for the amount of hours it will take me to prep my order, I have monthly insurance, I have helpers I pay, the gas it takes me to pick up the groceries and to go store them, then to deliver the order and to get home, the days and hours it takes to prep, cook and deliver the food! It's a huge process!
I have had to put my minimum orders to $500 to make costs balance out, anything smaller then that I can np longer accommodate and have made this change last year because I was getting to many small orders amd it wasn't worth it for the amount time, energy and profit id make! Sometimes they were less then the minimum wage on what I'd make!
I also did add my grauity and some people say to take it off but I won't, I just tell them then I won't take their order! I've learned to put my foot down! I dont do family or friend deals because I don't ask you for a discount on your business bwcauae I understand! I will pay full price when I support my friends businesses because they are worth it! No one gets deals at these restaurants or catering businesses, or walmart or superstore, so why am I expected to give those deals!
I know my worth and won't lower it for anyone anymore! I know I'm good at what I do because I put my loving energies into everything I do! I thank the farmers, I thank mother earth, I thank the animals, I thank the water and I thank creator for being able to provide these meals, and ask to give everyone the nutrients they need for their bodies to feel wholesome and loved 💗
So if you made it this far in the post, I ask when you do your budget for your catering needs please put this all into consideration and budget in $25 per person minimumally! Don't low ball your caterers because they work hard and this is their income so they can provide for their families 💗💗
