ECEP MEMBERS IN THE MEDIA! Catersource magazine has published an article written by Amber Kispert focusing on how large-scale caterers navigate catering for thousands of people.

For instance, from John Crisafulli, Behind the Scenes Catering and Events in San Diego, who has catered at the Olympics for the past 12 years ... “It’s important that your sales team and culinary and operations teams work hand-in-hand when preparing proposals for large event clients,” says Crisafulli. “Both clients and catering sales staff like to get creative in their menu offerings but forget that the culinary team needs to be able to produce these menu offerings, often onsite with limited space and equipment restraints, and operations needs to be able to execute the service. It is not just about writing an over-the-top menu; you also need to be able to execute the menu and wow the guests. That takes teamwork, starting with the initial planning.” #ecep #olympics #catering #megaevents #catersource
