    The key takeaways are that catering involves providing food and beverages for scheduled events, it has different categories like institutional and social catering, and career outlooks vary depending on being contracted or an independent owner.

    The main categories of catering are institutional catering, which includes non-profit organizations like hospitals and universities, and social catering, which is profit-driven catering for charities, corporations and individuals.

    Examples of on-premise catering include catering done at locations like cruise ships, country clubs, restaurants, banquet halls and hotels where the kitchen is on-site. Off-premise catering involves transporting food to the event location and requires less overhead but more physical tasks like transporting equipment.
