• Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your Executive Summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the type of catering business you are operating and the status; for example, are you a startup or do you already have an operating catering business.

Discuss the type of catering business you are operating. Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers. Provide a snapshot of your marketing plan.



• Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a catering business plan, your marketing planning should include the following:

Product: in the product section you should reiterate the type of catering business that you documented in your Company Analysis. Then, detail the specific food items you will be offering.

Place: Place refers to the location of your catering business. Document your location and mention how the location will impact your success. For example, is your catering business located next to a heavily populated office building, or gym, etc. Discuss how your location might provide a steady stream of customers.

Price: Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your marketing plan, you are presenting the menu items you offer and their prices. Since these items might vary from client to client, include your core items in your plan.

Promotions: the final part of your catering business marketing plan is the promotions section. Here you will document how you will drive customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

•Advertising in local papers and magazines

•Reaching out to local bloggers and websites

•Flyers given to office managers at local businesses

•Partnerships with local organizations

•Local radio advertising

networking groups. This could give you a huge competitive edge and help spread

the word about your business. •Banner ads at local venues •Blogging and social media marketing •Email marketing

To demonstrate your catering business’s ability to succeed as a business, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company. Ideally you and/or your team members have direct experience in the catering business. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act like mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in the catering business and/or successfully running similar enterprises.



• AMENITIES
