We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a catering business:

We chatted with with Nestor, founder of Elegante Catering ($20K/month). In our interview, Nestor says:
