What are the tools and equipments needed for catering services?

Answer:
There are so many things! Here's a condensed list though:
- chafing dishes (with candles and pans)
- serving utensils
- dinnerware
- silverware/flatware
- carts
- serving bowls/trays/platters
- insulated transport carriers
- party tubs
- linens

If it's going to be a big operation you might want to consider commercial kitchen equipment.
