Learning About Your Competition

·   Check out their websites closely.

·   Ask common vendors, like your party rental dealer, about your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses.

·   Mystery-shop your competition, almost everyone does it! It would be a wonderful world if you could just walk into a competitive caterer, introduce yourself as a competitor and then pick up the information you need.

·   Chat with any of your staff who may have worked for other caterers in your area.

    Attend public charity events that competitors are catering, to see them in action.
