Etymology

The term 'catering' originates from the mid-19th century and is derived from the French word 'cater', which means 'to provide.' The evolution of catering as a business has roots in the hospitality and food service industries, where the demand for organized meal preparation and serving increased significantly with the growth of events and celebrations. The practice of catering can be traced back to the need for large-scale meal service in banquets, weddings, and public gatherings, which required specialized knowledge in food preparation and service. Over time, the industry has expanded to encompass a wide variety of culinary styles and service models, adapting to changing consumer preferences and dietary trends.
