6. 11.1 Types of Catering Service On- Premise Catering - is catering for any function—banquet, reception, or event—that is held on the physical premises of the establishment or facility that is producing the function. On-premise caterers—such as hotels, convention centers, and restaurants—usually have the advantage of offering many services under one roof. They can also provide sufficient space to house an entire event and plenty of parking. In general, each catered event has one host and one bill.

8. Off-Premise Catering - often involves producing food at a central kitchen, with delivery to and service provided at the client’s location. Part or all of the production of food may be executed or finished at the event location. At times, off-premise caterers must rely on generators for electricity, truck in potable water, devise a trash system, and otherwise “rough it.” -Many localities have independent banquet halls, civic auditoriums, stadiums, arenas, ethnic social clubs, fraternal organizations, women’s clubs, private city or country clubs, athletic clubs, hospitals, universities, libraries, executive dining rooms in office buildings or corporate headquarters, churches, recreation rooms in large apartment or condominium complexes, parks, museums, aquariums, and restaurants with banquet rooms. Some of these facilities are often more competitive than hotels, as they have more flexible price structures because of their lower overhead expenses. Some are public facilities and are tax-exempt. A number of these facilities provide their own catering in-house, others are leased to and operated by contract foodservice companies that have exclusive contracts. Still others will rent their facilities to off-premise caterers

10. Accommodation Service - Accommodation is the common word for any kind of lodging or dwelling where people stay and sleep. Finding suitable accommodation can sometimes be tricky as demand can often eclipse supply. And often it can be hard just to find a place that is suitable for you, somewhere you are going to want to spend your time. As populations grow everywhere and urban environments get more complex and harder to navigate, accommodation services have started popping up everywhere. These services fill an important need for people, and are dedicated to making it easier for you when you are trying to find an appropriate place to lay your head.

11. Both on-premise and off-premise catering have much in common. Obviously, transportation by vehicle is a main difference. It complicates food safety issues such as packing safely to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold, and to avoid spillage. This is accomplished by using: -insulated coolers, -refrigerated vehicles, and -portable warming units. A caterer’s reputation for high-quality food that is safely prepared can take years to develop. Any outbreak of a food borne illness could result in lawsuits, death, and the closing of the business. Safe food handling procedures are a must; there are no shortcuts.

12. Accommodation services exist for long term placement or if you are just looking for a holiday apartment for a few days. When you are looking for short term holiday accommodation it can often be incredibly hard to find somewhere suitable. It makes a lot of sense to enlist the help of a holiday accommodation service provider. They are specialized in this field and will have the necessary contacts needed to find all of the available and suitable places that you need. This is even more the case when you are looking for accommodation abroad. A service provider can give you a direct link with people that offer accommodation and will act as a medium when language and customs may get in the way. There are some really cool places that you can stay in the world, from traditional huts in Africa to fantastic modern Berlin apartments, the list is almost endless. The hard part is in finding that exotic accommodation or sourcing the best price for that ecologically designed apartment. This is where a professional service can come in handy and take all of the stress and endless hours of frustration out of the process. There are many accommodation services that have a presence on the Internet, that way it is even easier for you to go and check out what they have to offer. Many have pictures and floor plans of the housing that they are offering so that there are no nasty surprises for you when you get to your destination.

13. 11.2 Legal Considerations There are some legal aspects you must consider before getting started like applying for a state food dispenser's license and approval of the site where you are going to cook approved by the local board of health. Selling food cooked in a place that isn't up to the law is a serious offence and can land you behind bars. Your manufacturing practices and quality of ingredients used must also meet the standards specified by the law. You must also get the food you prepare tested to make sure it doesn't cause any illness.

15. Dividing an area into zones and sections reserved for different purposes such as residence and business and manufacturing etc.

16. Decide on a name and then create youridentity.

18. The facility (kitchen) where food is prepared should be licensed as a Food Service Establishment .Contact the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Food Division, Food Service Section; (517) 373-1060, for inspections. Generally, a person's home kitchen, where food is also prepared for family members, will not meet the regulations to be licensed.

20. Insurance helps keep risk to you, your partners, your investors, bankers and other creditors minimized as well. Insurance is designed to protect tangible assets, thereby protecting your investment.

22. For location-based catering businesses, structural insurance (fire damage, water damage, natural disasters, etc.) depends upon whether you’re leasing our location or purchasing. If you’re leasing, the building owner usually carries the insurance and passes the cost onto you in the lease amount. If you’re purchasing your catering location, your lender will require coverage. Every catering business must have transportation. State and federal laws mandate that you carry a minimum amount of insurance for your vehicles. If purchasing new vehicles, your lender will require enough coverage to offset their financial liability (and yours). Worker’s Compensation is also a possible need. Not every company carries worker’s comp. Some companies prefer to pay for employee injuries out of their own pockets and take their chances due to the high cost of coverage.

24. You then proceed to the Health and Sanitary Office where you will secure the Health and Sanitary Permit (In Pasig, they require a drug test and X-ray for all the employees). They will also require attendance in a seminar You go to CENRO (City Environment and Natural Resources Office) to secure an Environmental Permit (usual requirement is Affidavit of Undertaking). Then off to the BFP (Bureau of Fire Protection) for the Fire Permit Fee. Take note that all business establishments are required to have a fire extinguisher. The number of fire extinguishers will depend on the floor area of the establishment. An inspection by the BFP will be conducted before the issuance of the clearance. They will issue a Fire Safety Inspection Certificate. Some LGUs do not conduct inspection anymore but rather require pictures of the establishment. After all these permits are secured, then the business license is issued. However, in some cities, they issue the business permit temporarily subject to the issuance of the other permits (Sanitary permit, Fire Certificate).

25. 11.4 Procedure in Obtaining a Mayor’s Permit Business permits expire on the 31st of December unless the permits are issued on a quarterly basis. Must be renewed before the end of January. Different requirements per city. For new applications, the requirements usually are: barangay clearance, zoning clearance, environmental permit to operate, fire clearance, etc. To secure these licenses, the requirements usually are articles of incorporation for corporation, articles of partnership for partnership and DTI registration for sole proprietorships accomplished form Lease contract or proof of ownership Sketch of the Location Fire Safety Clearance
