Cafe Evoke Catering :: The Plan

The rough internal version of the plan is completed. I guess I should say that there are a few things that needed to be added in the coming weeks. This plan included future capital needs, advertising ideas, a brief history (we are only so old you know), pricing structure, and cost break down for each item. This will get us on our feet and through the end of 2006. What needs to be completed before this year is out are goals for 2007 and an idea of what we make per event that we do. I am currently still employed at another company part time so we want to find out what it will take to get my out of that job and full time with Cafe Evoke Catering. This is a thin grey line. I cannot afford to leave my other job to early but there is a certain amount of time that must be put into the catering business to get it up, going, and running smoothly. It will also take time to grow the business. I have taken off the past two weeks from any advertising/marketing efforts so that will all begin tomorrow. Below is my list of "to-do's": 1. Get letters, pricing, brochures to caterers around town 2. Call/drop off information at all reception halls and locations in town 3. Drop off information at all local coffee shops 4. Get list of area reps for make-up and other industries like that This list will take me a week or two to get going. Once that is down, another list should be formed. All in all, I hope this sparks some business towards the end of the year. ..be bold Tagged: cafe evoke, coffee catering, bozeman, montana, coffee, tea, espresso, business planning, budgeting
