  1. You might want to see if there's a local community center that would let you rent the kitchen.  If you have ties to any church, see if you could rent their kitchen.  (And it often helps to offer to make a donation to the church.)


  2. I would try small private schools that are in summer recess.  Also some churches have pretty substantial kitchens.

    Also try other caterers and offer a profit split with them.

    But if your client moved up the day you really can't be expected to able to change your schedule for them.  What if you had another appointment then?

  3. You are in a predicament. I am thinking your best bet would be to approach a breakfast place or someplace that has limited hours open. Go to a place that does not get a lot of business so they might be enticed by a fee of some kind. Other than that, you may want to try a cooking school. Maybe one that is not in session at this time. Good luck.

  4. Place an add in the newspaper for this.

    Another option I learned from Paula Deen she worked from a hotel.They gave her free rent if she cooked breakfast for the overnight people.

    So,call and ask?doesn't hurt they only offer free breakfast normally so why not ask for stove for the rest of the time?

    Tons of places here in fla near the bases are only open at lunch because of the most business being then so call the little local joints also and ask for the ones opened at lunch only then you get it the rest of the day???good luck!!
