Market

These caterers tend to serve the part of the market that must have kosher food served at an occasion due to religious beliefs, but struggle to able to afford the cost variance between standard and kosher catering. These caterers all offer fairly standard menus. There is also a fifth caterer who serves the middle class, but also the lower end.
