Catering as a Small Business

Tonight's your chance to combine those two with a class from the Boston Center for Adult Education called Catering as a Small Business. Learn what it takes to get your own catering business off the ground, including hiring help, managing the local laws and raising capital from instructor Madonna Berry, a chef-instructor at Newbury College who's worked at a number of well-known restaurants, including Maison Robert in Boston. Easy as pie. 6 p.m. $48 members, $52, non-members. Boston Center for Adult Education, 5 Commonwealth Ave. 617-267-4430. bcae.org
