This may be determined by what types of service you provide (cocktail receptions, buffet style catering) the types of events you cater (banquet/ wedding catering) or the type of cuisine you offer. 

Service: You’ll need to find the necessary items to insure a professional service experience. This includes having professional cookware, linens, tableware, flatware and  tables and chairs. Staff uniforms may also be needed. Some of these items can be rented.
