INTRODUCTION

Getting to make dishes for an event is quite a difficult task to accomplish especially if the number of guests attending the event is much. There’s a whole lot that goes into planning an event, handling the task of cooking by an event host could be quite challenging, hence the need for a caterer.

If the host attempts to personally cook the meals for her guests; particularly when the number is on the high side, chances are that they may likely breakdown due to fatigue. It is for this reason that caterers are in hot demand.

Caterers are found in every part of the world because it concerns food. Mode of operations, however, defers from country to country, we have the professional caterers and non-professionals. Professional caterers like Kush Kitchen services do not only cater for big organizations, government agencies, institutions, and parties, but they can also be contacted to handle home catering services for people who can the luxury. This means that people who host a huge number of visitors per time in their houses can relax and allow the burden of cooking to be taken from them.

In Nigeria alone, there are well over 8000 registered catering businesses that employ about 150,000 people (both contract and full-time employees), and most of them are thriving pretty well in the business because there are loads of business opportunities available to caterers in Nigeria.

 

This Industry generates well over 10 Billion nairas annually through events such as; weddings, holiday parties, corporate functions (Annual General Meetings and Anniversary et al), funerals and birthday parties amongst others, and the figure is still on the increase.

 

The catering business is considered to be amongst the delicate industries, this is because they are involved in cooking food for consumption for a large number of guests per time. It is the reason why this business is subjected to regular inspection by relevant health officials from different local health departments especially NAFDAC.

Operating a professional catering business in a country like Nigeria, you are expected by law to comply with the laid down rules and regulations for the industry.

There is ample room for any entrepreneur who is interested in running a catering business in Nigeria to start in any capacity and still maximize profit in the business. You can start by catering for 20 people or less, conversely, you can as well start your catering business by catering for a large crowd.

The bottom line is that catering business is known to be a very lucrative business in all parts of the world, like in the modern day Nigeria where we find more people in a position where they have less and less time to spend in their kitchens and would have to rely on restaurants that do not expose them to unwarranted health risks. At the same time, is located in a locality inhabited by mostly upper-middle-class and rich residents, we are positive that our evening will be filled by demands by residents who have a taste bud for good food.
