When we came up with the business model for Eventure, the first hurdle was to decide which service we would implement. The business model calls for Eventure to build and own all event services under one roof, we actually own and operate these services, not just claim that we do and outsource the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It made sense to start with catering and bar service. Bar service I already had a considerable amount of experience in, but catering was a new venture, and other than watch caterers work at events, I had no idea of how it worked. But like all eager entrepreneurs, I thought to myself \u201cHow hard could catering be?\u201d I mean, I could troubleshoot and program an entire concert lighting system, making chicken breasts is a walk in the park in comparison\u2026.. How wrong I could be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I get into the little I know about catering, let me tell you how we came to be caterers. As our business model was built on the premise that we team up with like-minded new businesses, catering was the first step in that direction. Most events, and I would say over 90% of events, incorporate food in some way at the event. It only made sense that catering would be our first division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time, every time I checked Facebook, I would see posts on David Sacks Catering. So I started the hunt for Dave, and it was impossible to get him to sit down and meet. I eventually tracked him down, and we spoke about both our businesses for hours, and it was inevitable, we were meant to do this together. Dave was working out of his apartment kitchen, and I couldn\u2019t have been more impressed than to see the quality and amount of food he was able to produce out of there! But Eventure brought a team together, the ability to not only sell, market, support and finance a proper catering operation, but other sources of potential revenue to support it as well. After a few events together, it was decided to make it official and go out and get a kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kitchens are expensive, and to build one from scratch is a big endeavor. After searching, I found out that Java U catering was buying their own building and selling their existing kitchen. The timing couldn\u2019t have been better, as Ronnie and Donnie were friends, and also I had worked with them many times over the span of my career. We made a deal, and we now owned our own commercial catering kitchen! With a lot of TLC, re-arranging and kitchen repairs, this became our new home.<\/p>\n\n\n
