Question:
How to start a home-based food catering business?
Answer:
It is essential that before embarking on your home-based food catering business, you find out whether or not you are permitted to run a food catering business from your home. Different local government authorities have different regulations, so seek the advice of your local Council and apply and receive approval, prior to starting your business.
In addition to any rules and regulations imposed by your local council, you are also bound by government legislation. You need to understand Food Hygiene and Food Safety Regulations which cover the preparation of food at home, market stalls, delivery and handling of food, packaging and labelling, etc.
Examples:
Some of the ways to start cooking for money are baking for market stalls, confectionery, celebration cake service, bar and hotel food, lunch boxes and picnics, making preserves for sale, cooking for dinner parties and running a freezer service.
