How does a catering business make money?

Caterers are paid per event or per head to cook and serve food at weddings, offices, parties and venues. Many take a deposit and sign a contract first. Profit depends on pricing each menu from food and labour cost, buying accurately for the guest count, and keeping food safe while it travels.
