Buy or Sell a Catering Business
Catering businesses operate by preparing, delivering, and often serving food and beverages for events such as weddings, corporate gatherings, parties, and other special occasions.

The business manages logistics such as sourcing ingredients, staffing chefs and servers, transporting food, and setting up dining areas. Like restaurants, success depends on efficient planning, high-quality food, reliable service, and strong client relationships to ensure repeat business and positive referrals.
