8 TikTok slideshow ideas for a catering business

How to turn these into posts that convert
Post behind the scenes of event prep, before/after table setups, and food close ups. Focus on variety and speed. 4 times per week on weekdays. Avoid overly polished content; keep it raw and authentic. Use trending sounds and hashtags like #catering #eventfood. Engage with local event planners in comments.
Timing: Post 3 times per week, especially Thursday afternoons for weekend event inspiration.
