Relationship between catering industry and all other industries

We buy food by paying money that we earn working at an

establishment of an industry. This money is shared between the
employer and the employee. They both will use the money to take
care of the three important objectives, which are: food, clothing and
residence.

Raw food needs to be transformed into palatable tasty food
fit for consumption through general cooking at home or
commercial cooking or CATERING. Catering industry is
the only industry that provides food at a price to all other
industries.
