Such kind of services like catering, which implies the organization of corporate power at the level of world standards and covers all forms of eating in the workplace - from banquets and official picnic to business Lunches at the office and beyond, our country is still not sufficiently developed. Catering is a kind of outsourcing - the transfer of service orders internal needs of the company to third-party businesses, and has a long history in developed countries.

At the initial stage of the formation of catering in Ukraine dinners the companies specialized enterprises ordered, for the most part, a foreign company, then later to use the catering services was a significant number of Ukrainian customers. To date, among them not only a major oil and financial companies, but quite ordinary small and medium-sized legal entity.
According to some managers kejteringovyh companies with very large customers, as a rule, rather difficult to work with because they require special conditions, discounts, benefits and are often less profitable compared to small companies without excessive queries. Sometimes the main benefit from services known to client can only be an image component.
According to various estimates, the market of catering services in Kiev are from 30 to 50 companies, such as the range of estimates indicates the complexity of the analysis of this market. Do large companies less than ten. It should be noted that most of the major players focused on working with a relatively narrow circle of regular customers, the service contracts which they receive the results of tenders.
Number of Housewives and family firms, which are present in the same capital market, to calculate precisely not possible. By one estimate there are hundreds, others thousands. Experts agree that private or family-catering is the least expensive and hence most popular way of obtaining profit on the delivery route. A serious disadvantage of cooperation with such entrepreneurs is the lack of any licenses, certificates, quality products, about any strict compliance with all applicable sanitary norms in this case speech does not go. All initial costs are small and sometimes non-existent because typically the food is prepared in your own kitchen, stored in the fridge at home and delivered to the scrap containers to the customer. Special culinary delights, in this case, not expected, but hot food and low cost services are invariably in demand.
the Clientele family cuisine rarely consists of more than 10 people, if there is a desire to serve a greater number of clients to purchase semi-professional equipment and containers for transportation.

a) allocate the necessary space (under a lease, sublease, set-off or free of charge); b) to endure all related kitchen sounds and smells; C) take into account the likelihood to pay a considerable fine, if this cuisine will discover a health inspector.
With the creation of the modern dining room at the customer's site can handle only the large companies with the appropriate financial capabilities and experience to bring their kitchens into full compliance with the requirements of legislation established the procurement of products or delivery.
There is another option - rent a room for the kitchen and warehouse somewhere on the outskirts of the city. This is one of the significant advantages of catering classic catering business to accommodate the production of meals, the place does not matter. The main problem for the success of catering services is to deliver. In most cases, keep its own fleet, companies can not afford. The way out of this situation is the impact of transport logistics at the mercy of a specialized company.
it Should be noted that for any entrepreneur who works officially signing a contract with a transport company for delivery of ready dinners potentially fraught with complications. The reason for this is the probability of inspection by the sanitary and epidemiological stations, which certainly will identify violations. Under current regulations, all vehicles used for delivery of ready meals, must undergo a mandatory certification to have vans with a special coating inside and on a monthly basis to undergo sanitary processing.
most of the catering companies adhere to a universal “the Ukrainian-European” kitchen with separate patches of the East or of Latin American exoticism.
