A Brief History of Indian Catering Services

We Indians take great pride in bragging about our weddings. The lights, the flowers, the clothes, the jewelry, and the FOOD! We have seen many new changes in Indian weddings in recent years. ‘Once upon a time’ the same food was served at every wedding (such as puri, sabji, chicken, dal, rice, jalebi, gulab jamun, etc), now, people go for the truth. Everybody wants something new. Indian wedding caterers have to give something unique to each of their clients.

Now times are changing and Indian caterers have to go the extra mile to meet the ever-changing demands. There is a new generation of caterers competing with each other to be the best in the market and earn the respect and admiration of their customers. The Indian catering business has an annual growth rate of up to 20% as it is a must for any event be it a wedding, reunions, business meetings etc. This Rs.15,000 crore industry has never shown any signs of weakness in the market and it doesn’t look like it ever will.

Indian carters have different levels of operation which are:-
1) Primary Level – This is the lowest level of catering, which means they handle low-key events like small weddings, small parties, etc. the net profit at this level is high as there is a low asset requirement and less monitoring is required.
2) Secondary level: At this level, the business is mainly done by organizing big weddings, college festivals, concerts, etc. the market margin that this level has is moderate.
3) Tertiary level:-This is the most exclusive and expensive level of operation. These people dominate the market with their big weddings, exclusive parties, fashion shows, etc. They hold the market with huge profits and the glamor associated with them.

This industry is all about food and beverages ranging from traditional food like paneer (cottage cheese), dal, rice, roti, sweets, etc. to high class themed events consisting of a variety of cuisines. Indian caterers pay special attention to food quality and hygienic conditions. Indian wedding catering services provide their clients with different options of service methods; one has the option of going to a traditional or buffet-style wedding. Indian catering services provide their customers with different cuisines that vary depending on the area the customer belongs to. Indian wedding caterers have a booming business ahead of their future and they are sure not to disappoint anyone.
