You’ve designed a catering menu you think your guests will love. What additional steps do you need to take to ensure your catering staff can execute orders consistently every single time? 

In this video, James Clark, founder of Clark Culinary Consulting, discusses how to foolproof your catering menu. Tune in to learn how to simplify your recipes, stay consistent outside the four walls, and capture new business with a strong digital presence.

Video Takeaways:

• Simplify order execution. Use easy-to-remember recipe ratios, so your chefs can execute large catering orders quickly.
• Stay consistent as you grow. Identify vendors who can help you produce consistent products and experiences as you expand to new locations.
