Anthony Lambatos, CEO, Footers Catering & Events
Cater staff hours are long and the demands are brutal. As soon as the excitement wears off, the job gets real. To your staff, it seems that the next company is always offering a little bit more money with slightly shorter hours. Most catering business owners lose an employee every few months. How do you attract and keep a great catering staff?
Margaret Brower, CEO & Founder, Rainmaker Sales & Marketing Group
Dear Catering Salespeople, You are fierce. You are the extreme athletes of the wedding business. You live in a world with no guarantees, too much competition, and no shortage of rejection. Your job is tough. That’s why this presentation is dedicated to you.
Roy Porter, Activities Director, Engage Works
It’s not how much you sell. It’s how much you keep. Profit margins and overhead make all the difference. Are you just getting by? Or are you saving enough to take a vacation, send your kids to college, and build your retirement?
Wedding couples don’t care about your story. They only care about their own. How do you share your personality, brand, and ideas with customers who are at the center of their own wedding planning process? First impressions online happen in 2.6 seconds. Be sure you are positioning your brand to magnetize your ideal & higher paying client.
Fausto Pifferrer, Co-Founder, Blue Elephant
Couples use their wedding day menus to share their story and connect with their guests. From their childhood favorites to their first date meal, incorporate meaningful food experiences for the couple and their guests.
Syd Sexton, COO, Catering By Design
Rich cuisine and design pairings go together like Beyonce and Jay-Z or Tom and Gisele. The right catering presentation can create an aesthetic more delicious than any power couple.
Jennifer Gilman, President, Flourish&Co
Does your favorite catering dish look unimpressive in photos? Have you produced a meal masterpiece and forgotten to snap a photo? Do you get frustrated when the photographer doesn’t share photos with you? Let your catering brand be the star of every image. Take back control and become your own food photographer.
Rebekah Ontiveros, Owner, Hive Cake Shop
You always save the best for last. Wedding cakes and desserts represent fun, delight, and celebration. They are an expression of not only flavor but also the personality of the wedding couple. Get inspired with the latest wedding cake and dessert table trends.
