Answer 6

Being in the catering business , I suggest you check out the competition and see what they are offering, range and price wise, If possible a mini van with your logo(bright and catchy)on the side and introduce a sandwich run for Industrial parks.

Make up a classy looking menu with a good printers and distribute it to the industrial parks, after all everyone gets sick of canteen food and packed lunches.

Even put a survey out in your local area  and find out what appeals to people, you'll find it will help narrow the margin on certain types of foods.

During the summer a trolley roller is great for the parks as everyone like to eat out in the sun away from the office. You will need a license for both. Which are fairly easy to obtain.

Introduce organic sandwiches, soups, breads, cakes and a vary of ethnic foods also available in your sandwiches and introduce easy ready to go hot foods.

Also hire good looking staff, theirs nothing like a pretty face and smile, to appeal to both men and women...

Good Luck!
