Should I give the corporate division its own name? How do I handle same-day orders? Or multiple deliveries at the same time? Get answers to these common questions and more.

1. Q) “ Should I give my corporate drop-off division a separate name?”
2. A) There is no right or wrong answer. Some companies add, “Express” or “On The Road” or “Corporate Catering” after the name. (Example: ABC Catering – Express). First, create a separate menu for this division of your business. Then decide on a branding strategy.

1. Q) “ How should I handle requests for same day orders?”
2. A) Embrace them. As your business grows, calls for same-day orders will increase. Establish which production-friendly, same-day menu items you can offer. If you are booked solid for noon deliveries, tell your customer you can deliver by 12:30.

1. Q) “ How much should I charge for delivery?”
2. A) Check out what your competitors are charging for delivery and stay within that range. If you’re providing quality, on-time delivery, err on the higher side of the range. These charges, (revenue), can add up quickly.
