Modern catering businesses are finding more and more innovative ways of getting noticed, whether it’s the type of food being served or the premises being used to cook the food.

If you’re considering operating a catering startup, here are five unusual catering businesses you should know about, and a few tips to help you begin your own catering venture.

Using High-Quality Catering Software

The following unusual catering startups will certainly give you inspiration for starting your own catering business and show you how finding a gap in the market or simply doing things differently can lead to success. But before you begin a catering business, you’ll need to have a solid business plan, have funds in place, and have good bookkeeping skills. Of course, you also need fabulous food!

One of the best tips for running a catering startup is to use high-quality software specifically designed for the catering industry. Planning Pod arguably provides one of the best. You can find out more about Planning Pod’s catering software on this page. From marketing and sales to business development and customer service, the catering CRM tools allow you to do a multitude of things, such as tracking clients, vendors, prospects, and venues and sending and receiving all of your catering event’s digital communications in real-time. With easy-to-use software, you can ensure your automated operations run smoothly, giving you more time to focus on growing your business.

Bacon Bacon

Starting a food truck business can be very lucrative if you get the food and the location right. You could also choose to provide food that will be a talking point. Take Bacon Bacon as an example. The San Francisco food truck only provides food containing bacon. But not only does that include traditional bacon food-to-go. It also includes specialist desserts like chocolate-covered bacon and candied bacon chocolate chip cookies!

Del Popolo

If you want to grab potential customers’ attention with a food truck business, you don’t have to solely think about the menu. Also, consider the vehicle you will be using. For example, the mobile pizzeria food truck Del Popolo, which is also based in San Fran, is a repurposed trans-Atlantic shipping container with a glass wall. Inside is a traditional Italian wood fire oven. Del Popolo’s delicious pizzas include delights like a fennel sausage pie and an asparagus pizza with green garlic pesto, pecorino, and fresh mozzarella.

Vow

The owners of the Australian restaurant Vow, which opened in 2019 in Sydney, make a good point when they state that only four animal species make up the vast majority of meat available globally. That represents just 0.02% of the meat products that could be available. So, Vow focuses on unusual meat dishes. Two of its most notable are alpaca chili tarama and kangaroo crystal dumplings.

Gobble

You do not need to open a restaurant, run a food truck, or supply catering for events to run a successful catering startup. You could take a leaf out of Gobble’s book and deliver meal packages to people’s doors. Gobble delivers weekly packages to customers that contain a quick recipe and all of the ingredients to make it, allowing them to learn how to make delicious dishes with fresh ingredients.

Blue Apron

Blue Apron is another food delivery service, but it differs from others due to focusing on sustainability. The company supports regenerative farming and uses pre-portioned high-quality ingredients in order to eliminate food waste. Blue Apron has become one of the most talked-about startups in the States and has been featured by the likes of Good Morning America and The Wall Street Journal.

    Food for us come from our relatives, whether they have wings or fins or roots. That is how we consider food. Food has a culture. It has a history. It has a story. It has relationships.
