Good evening. In my personal and humble view, we're on here so that we may enrich our knowledge, via sharing with each other, in a professional, smooth way and country usage or tradition, even in a regional, popular, slang, formal, classical manner (you name it).
Thanks for all the inputs. Lovely to realise that we are all oh-so-great! Mind you, though - some suggestions may be better or less good than others depending on the respective contexts.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CATERING BUSINESS AND WORKING IN A RESTAURANT?

While both career choices are fast paced, catering has a different pace than working in a restaurant. A restaurant has fast hours, when people wait in line and the kitchen goes crazy. A catering business has fast days, when everything must be done at once and ready to go when the guests arrive. It involves coordinating all the dishes at one time-and usually with a smaller staff. People who open their own catering businesses often hire their own waiters, or serve the food themselves, so there's a lot more multi-tasking on the part of the catering staff. And while this may sound quick, catering also involves a lot of downtime. Hours may be spent planning menus with clients, experimenting with new tools and mapping out a day. After all, few catering companies cover special events seven days a week.
