I am looking to open up my own catering business and/or cafe. I was looking for a mentor in the hospitality industry that would be able to help me out with any start up tips/ideas or just a push in the right direction. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have all my basic menu planning finished and location. I already have a few clients; the biggest concern I have is the administration work behind everything.
Susan, thank you for your service.
You might contact Chef David James Robinson at ChefDavid@EatYourMistakes.com and visit his Culinary Command website at http://culinarycommand.com/.
He was on Chopped and runs a successful catering business in NY. His business website, www.EatYourMistakes.com will give you an overview of his successes and credentials.
His Culinary Command program is designed to help vets get into the culinary field. He encourages one-on-one communications (don't be afraid to contact him via the email above).
Best regards,
Doug Lange

Susan,
I work as a business adviser for a nonprofit lender in Connecticut. Among my many clients are two caterers and two cafe owners. If you can refine what kind of tips you are looking for I can try to be of help. Where are you right now in your planning or preparation?
