Today we’d like to introduce you to KP PATEL.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’m just someone who is passionate about cooking. I don’t have any formal culinary training however over the course of my previous businesses I found out that a lot of people liked my food. In May of 2022 I had a friend call me up and said I love your food and I have a friend that is needing a caterer for a 150 person event. Are you available? I said sure and by the end of May I already had 4 events booked up. From there I’ve catered birthday parties, corporate events, baby showers, weddings and much more. I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with one of my regular clients in opening up their restaurant in Montgomery, TX helping me expand my service area further north of Houston.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. There have been at least 2 times that I can remember that when I got to the event to set up for catering, I’ve had the client tell me that they have more ppl than expected (and not just by a little but over 100 on both events), however by God’s grace we were able to feed everyone and had left overs for some to take home.
I’ve had employees not showing up to the events, clients not paying (not just on time but at all), and much more. However through the process I’ve learned to rely on God and His provisions.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
We are an event company that started our doing catering only. Through the years we’ve also expanded to mobile bartending services, staffing for events, and rentals. We service 100 mile radius of the Houston area. Our variety of chefs allow us to cater almost any time of food from BBQ, Mexican, Indian, French, Italian, American and any other cuisine that you would like.
This company was started and still is a faith driven company. I take the Holy Spirit’s guidance on charging customers which allows us to fit almost anybody’s budget.
What matters most to you?
Customer satisfaction as I’m not representing myself but I’m working for the Lord , so I want to make sure I represent Him well. Have I fallen short of that at times? Of course however I try my best to make things right.
