FAQ Subject: I want to start a barbecue and catering business!
Hello,
My name is George Jolley and I live in Northern Virginia. For several years I have wanted to get into the bar-b-que and catering business. Within a month I plan to purchase a large smoker on a trailer. I have limited experience in this area but I love to cook on grills. I would appreciate any advice. I plan to start this business in about 3 months. What should I do now?
Thank You
G. H. Jolley, III
Hi George,
First step is to click into the Barbecue Store at www.barbecuen.com and pick up a copy of "The Great American Barbecue & Grilling Manual" which can teach you how to barbecue, how to choose a grill design (or build one) how to select, prep and care for meats. Next, go to your library and check out a few books on starting your own restaurant or catering business. Meanwhile, check with the local health authorities on regulations. Then write up a business plan with emphasis on market analysis and keep honing your cooking and planning skills.
Some people make lots of money catering barbecue, but preparation is essential to success.
Luck,
Smoky
