Strange. It works on my hand.

When you create a new Menu Item, can you see the name of your component ? Do you mean the list of layout is empty or your component not appearing ?

Wich version of Joomla ?

For me there is no problem with your component. i tried it in local, it works perfectly.

Can you try on a fresh Joomla 2.5.6.

All you must have are metadata.xml files in each front view directory.

EDIT : Maybe in you language file ? (en-GB.com_catering.sys.ini)

Did you wrote inside your component ?

Is it working on a fresh install ?

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
