Running a successful catering business
Briefly News spoke with Thozama Mita, a caterer running a successful catering local business. We asked her about her secret to staying in business despite rising food prices, a struggling economy and increased competition since she started in 2019. She responded:
"What has kept me afloat is respecting my customers and craft while making sure that I provide the kind of service I expect from someone I hire. I put myself in my customer's shoes."
"People are spoilt for choice, so, rendering a good service is important in my field as it is easy for your customers to recommend you to others if they are satisfied with what you have given them."
We asked her what basic hygiene practices each caterer should follow every day. She said:
"The first thing step to maintaining good hygiene in my field is to make sure the workspace is thoroughly clean. Bacteria are everywhere and can easily cause food poisoning if food is prepared in an unsanitary enviroment.
We also make sure to wash our hands properly with soap and wear hairnets. It would be embarrassing for a guest to find a hair strand in their food at an event."
