Webstore
Your webstore you can sell your products. That's not a new idea. However, through your webstore you can take catering orders and payments. Do you have repeat catering customers to whom you offer special pricing? No problem, let them order through your website and password protect their pricing.
Here's another idea for you. Setup relationships with a local businesses allowing them to say "Thank You" to their clients by sending your goodies. Take their order and payment online and have a local courier service deliver it for you. It is extremely easy with HoneySites.
Do you have distributors or customers that buy your products in bulk or special quantities? You can password protect their products to offer them special pricing.
Your Store doesn't just have to sell sauces, shirts and aprons, it can sell just about anything. Consider selling recipes for download or gift cards in denominations you determine.
Website Membership
