Hello Everyone,

I want to start a catering business. Could everyone please tell how to cook, what to cook, how to make a menu, how to set tables, how to wash dishes, how to get customers, how much I will make and how to advertise? This would help a lot.

Thanks!
:homer: :nuts: :roll2:

Do you know where I can get free dishes, spoons, forks, pots, pans, napkins, towels, etc? I only have $10 to start my business.

1) Mix ingredients, place in oven at 350 degrees for 18 hours. (Any less may produce POISON GAS!)
2) Cook everything at www.recipezaar.com
3) Microsoft publisher- be sure to include lots of photos of cartoon characters as these turn on the consumer's buying impulses
4) Cover table with large cloth. Put a candle, flowers, or another interesting and attractive ornament in the middle of the table. Place a plate on either side of the item in the middle of the table. Place Fork & knife on the left side of each plate. Put a spoon on the right hand side of each plate.
5) Insert items into dishwasher, fill little container with soap (any kind will do). Close container. Turn it to wash, push start, or lock the door (depends on your model).
6) Kidnap them.*
7) You will make upwards of $0.01 in your first year (Revenue, not profit).
8) Threaten many people to place your logo on their personal property/buildings or you will murder their loved ones/pets.**

*I do not condone kidnapping, as a matter of fact, if you kidnap anybody, I will personally end your life.***

**Threatening is bad. Only do so under the proper parental supervision.

*** I will not actually end your life.

Hope this helps!

hmm...there seems to be like a new thread like this every other day.

It'd be great if someone could write a general guide.

He knows how to do it! :banana:

HA! Classic! :roll2:

How many times have we heard "I want all the features of Modernbill/WHMAutoPilot but I don't have any money"?

If you don't have enough customers to spend $100 on Modernbill to bill those customers, then you have serious issues.

Yet I see this every day on WHT. It always amazes me...

And I think he was joking. You need to read more carefully. ;)

There were two posts with this exact sort of thing posted recently. Ah, well, what can I say... in any field where the barriers to entry are this low, there are bound to be people like that. "I heard I can make money FA$T with web hosting! Tell me how you did it so I can copy you." :D

Hm... true. I need like... $1500 to take-off to webhosting business with a reseller account. Imagine how much should I spend if I take-off from Dedicated Servers.
