Transcriçaõ:

Running a restaurant seems pretty simple but in fact a lot of things have to be done. Somebody has to buy and maintain stocks of food and drink, decide on seating arrangements, and choose the right tableware and kitchen equipment. The tables must be laid, with the plates, knives, forks, spoons, glasses and napkins in the right places. Somebody must prepare menus, welcome guests, take orders, serve food, and prepare bills. Somebody of course has to cook, and finally tables must be cleared away and somebody has to wash up.

Catering can also mean preparing food and serving it not in a restaurant, but in places like schools or factories, or preparing meals in one place and serving them in another. Sometimes caterers don't just take food to a party, a company reception or a wedding, but have to plan the whole event. If you are creative, love cooking and enjoy working with people, catering can be an exciting profession which demands hard work and the ability to work under pressure.
