Catering: A guide to Managing a Successful Business Operation
This is a well-organized text with comprehensive coverage of business challenges faced by a caterer, ranging from in-hotel to off-site mom/pop style businesses. It is very helpful and readable, although I hoped for more recipes and display ideas to leaven the text.

Highly Recommended: English for the Hotel and Catering Industry Workbook1 review
Trish Stott, Rod Revelle
Oxford University Press, USA, 2005
Looking for more
Good book but a CD doesnt come with it, like it's suppose to. I mean on the back of the book, it says so. The book focuses on more of the Restaurant things and not front desk, but it's alright if you are into ALL the hotel industries.

Charleston's Most Talented Caterer
I love this book and often give it as a gift. It never fails to please the recipient. Hamby's Catering is extremely well-respected in Charleston, SC. The book is delightful and is worth the purchase just for the famous pimento cheese recipe. I also like the suggested menus for different types of events.
