Why Your Catering Business Isn't Growing
Processing orders manually is the most common problem I see among the caterers I interact with.
Everybody is doing some form of manual order processing.
Most people are taking orders via phone calls, texts, and emails.
Some attempt to turn a regular website like SquareSpace or Wix or WordPress into an online ordering system.
None of this works well and always ends up creating a bunch of manual work on the back end for the business owner just to process orders and collect payment.
Operational inefficiencies like this will keep your catering business small and struggling.
If you have a staff that allows you to take orders via phone calls and text messages, then you're good.
But if your staff is you and you have to take the orders and shop for the ingredients and cook the food, then you have to introduce some automation into your business or your business will get stuck with you as the bottleneck.
To hire help means you have to make more money. To make more money means you have to service more clients by processing more orders and cooking more food.
There's Only 24 Hours In a Day
If you're processing the orders, buying the ingredients, and cooking the food, once you max out on what you're capable of doing, that's it. Your business stops growing.
And whatever that "maxed out" point is is where most people stay stuck...every week is like the previous week because if you change nothing, nothing will change.
HoneyCart
HoneyCart is how you can break out of that cycle of struggle and get a ton of your time back so you can actually grow your business.
Implementing tools like HoneyCart into your business is a necessary step to get to higher levels because your business WILL stop growing at some point because you are the bottleneck.
I see so many business owners get stuck at the same level for the same reason: trying to do too many things by themselves.
There's all kinds of tools and technologies available today that do the work that you used to have to hire a person to do. HoneyCart is one of those tools.
If you're a caterer who is trying to grow your business and you're still taking orders manually, HoneyCart is probably what will enable you to take the next big leap with your business.
I've recommended HoneyCart to my clients and watched it make their lives so much easier by simplifying the ordering process for both the business owner AND the customer.
The easiest way to describe it is HoneyCart turns your ordering process into the Amazon experience where customers fill up their cart, check out and pay without needing to directly interact with anyone.
If you're currently processing orders manually, then having customers be able to submit their orders and pay without you being involved is the next step you must take in order to grow your catering business and HoneyCart makes it easy.
