Can anyone offer advise or hints about opening a small catering biz or diner in a Texas suburb?

I currently do a little catering on the side for friends. I'd like to make it official and branch out more. Maybe strictly catering or a small diner/cafe or a lunch bistro in an office building. How do I find out what licenses & permits I need or if I can cater from my home?

When I started a business I went tot he library and checked out a ton fo books. I talked to freinds and the city I lived in and found out the licences and certificates I needed.

Make sure your personal financial house is in order. You are going to want to ask banks to loan you money if you want to expand and they are more likely to do that if you have good credit.

Maybe have a look at a Martha Stewart biography. She began her "empire" with catering.

Realize the restaurant business is very difficult. That doesnt' mean you can't be a big success, just be aware of all the failures that came before you.

Have fun and GOOD LUCK!

Serve beef BBQ. I hear that's popular down there.

whatever you want
