## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The Professional Caterers Handbook
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011*

Good reference book for those contemplating or starting their own business as a caterer.There are no color photographs and there are very few actual pictures and illustrations in the book.  I am slightly dissapointed in the book for that reason because I was hoping for pictures of room staging, table scapes and decorating props.The book offers comprehensive information and references to further one's knowledge of developing a business plan to building a successful catering operation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good read for basic knowledge
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2019*

Good but should include some pictures since it’s really wordy

If you are serious about starting a catering business this is the only book you will need to guide you through the process. Catering is not an easy business and it may be years before you see any serious return on you efforts, this book will show you why and at very least help you decide if this business is for you. "Handbook" makes it sound much less than it is, as 1 reviewer stated its more like an encyclopedia well worth the investment.
