Arnie
Do you have a video on Catering?
"Amen Brother… Amen"
EVERYTHING you said is true…
I have had a little restaurant… I have had a BBQ Stand where we could do 26 Briskets at a time… and ALL of it is Hard to do…
You have to PICK Your Niche (what do YOU want to do?)
NOW… I seriously want to go back into the Food Biz… but I will take EVERYTHING I have learned and
K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Sister…
It is NOT How Much Money You Make… It is How Much Money do You Have Left Over after you pay everyone else… Remember That!!!
KNOW where EVERY Penny goes..
KNOW what Everything Cost… down to the Penny.
KNOW what Every Food Cost… every tiny OUNCE…
Numbers do NOT Lie…
I lost almost $2000. one year over using expensive store bought BISCUITS.
(the biscuits were $0.15 extra cost, than homemade) did not factor that in.
Great Information Arnie! It IS a lot of work. I had a Food Trailer and my biggest problem was always help. I never had enough help. People that no show or quit in the middle of everything because it's harder work and faster paced than they realized. Prep, rig up, cook, serve, rig down, clean, restock and go again. And yes, sometimes restocking means going to 3, 4 or maybe even 5 places to get everything you need.
Great video thank you
Good point about weddings!
Your the man thank you! This was greatly
Thank you for the information ❤️💯😎
Can you do a video on making and serving rice for a crowd?
Wow great advice, sounds like the business truths no one tells you ahead of time!!
Just tell us Samoans to come help you cater a wedding 😅 we’ll come in hundreds
What’s the best route to go ? A w2 or 1099 form?
How do I go about pricing my catering services
All of these points are legit. I managed a pizza place for years in New Jersey while coming up. The only thing I would add is the divorce rate is high in the food industry too; however, if you have hustle, a strong work ethic and if you’re good with people there is definitely good money out there.
Great video, very useful information. Looking to start small scale bbq catering and I'm also not interested in weddings.
Great video man! Some of the most useful information for this time in my life where I’m venturing into catering. Keep doing your thing!
You do great work and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you.

WOOHOO! congratulations Arnie, I've noticed you hit the 100K mark.
hey man in a world of WHATS UP GUYS overhype vids with dumbface thumbnails i really appreciate your calm, informative, and lowkey style
Very informative!! Thank you for taking the time to lay it out like it is! Most people including myself know it would be a ton of work but never heard it from an experienced pro like you. Thanks for the blunt honesty, it’s givin me something to think about and maybe reconsider.
Can you hire me Arnie I’m a 37 year old disabled man that loves barbecue and I’ve been wanting to move to Texas catering barbecue is one of my dream jobs😎
Great info Arnie. I had no clue about the attention to detail needed to run a restaurant and/or a food catering service. Gracias my friend ‼️
