DID YOU HAVE FUN? Novel concept I know! But it's odd how something that should be placed on the pedestal of event metrics, becomes secondary to audience response rate or food and beverage sales. As experience producers, we must think fiscally about our events at all times, but never forget that the core of an experience comes from the release of worries your attendees are having. So, they can just relax and ... yes have fun! "Fun is one of the most important and underrated ingredients in any successful venture." Richard Branson If you are at the beginning of your event-building journey or about to open your creation to the masses. I promise you...focus on the fun. It's a metric that will never let you down! #events #experiences #fun

Do strategic meetings and cooking classes go hand in hand? It's a Yes for us! Here comes the recap of our C Level Retreat in Nice, France🇫🇷 We combined strategic planning for Q1 with some culinary adventures along the coast of France and of course, it wasn't all play, and no work: We had deep dives into our company goals for 2024, the upcoming quarter, different strategies and had hours of discussions throughout our next steps. Getting together, especially at the beginning of each year, is important for us. It allows us to align our visions and work on our goals. The finalized action steps are communicated to our Accelerated team, so that we all know where we want to stand by the end of the year. But we also had the great opportunity to have some fun through a memorable cooking class. Together, we rolled up our sleeves and dove into the fun of making pasta and pizza. New recipes and an even stronger connection among the C Level team! PS: We are already planning the next big team event with all of our Accelerated members - check out our open positions, maybe you will be a part of it this year? #CLevelRetreat #TeamBuilding

Loyalty programs aren't just about rewards; they can also work wonders in building social proof for your restaurant! 📢 Social proof is a remarkably influential psychological phenomenon where people tend to follow the actions of others, known as groupthink. 🤯 By incorporating a loyalty program, you're not just engaging your guests; you're also creating a sense of community and trust around your restaurant. 🤝 Click the link in my bio 👉 and craft your legacy to success by creating loyalty programs. #Success #SocialProof #GuestRetention

This photo (2017) is from one of our workshops at the Catering Institute. - These gatherings were successful because of the people that attended them March 2024 will mark 5 years since our exit to ezCater who acquired our company, MonkeySoft Solutions, an ezCater Company. I am so proud of what this company has become and the legacy that remains. - the world's largest restaurant brands are using this catering ecosystem, of which our work for more than two decades was essential. - that result feels amazing! so grateful to Mo Asgari for his support. This fortunate event gave me the gift of time, to refocus on my health and to really think about what I want to spend my time doing. My conclusion is that there are ALOT of things that I like to spend my time doing! And I am doing them! But.... There remained a gap these last 5 years. It was the connection to the people. So many of you, who afforded me the opportunity of doing this work in the first place. - sharing of ideas, solving problems, having thoughtful conversations, making deep personal connections - that's the stuff.... adding value, visiting with old friends, and making new ones. Being part of a movement. Change makers. Thats' what it was. We were in the middle of it. We didn't know at the time. We were just trying to be of service to this community, always. That is what I missed. Being in service to this community. Today, I remain active with both the Off Premises Growth Academy and in my role as CSO Lunchbox - It's working out great. Education remains alive and well in my thoughts, and I am working on bringing some new experiences forward in 2024 - I am grateful to Nabeel 🦄for the opportunity he has provided me, to re-emerge doing the work that I love to do, while simultaneously helping to influence and shape both Lunchbox and the next generation of #catering in our industry. There is alot of work to do and I can tell you that strategic alignment with catering is everything - all the way through our industry. Private Equity, Suppliers, Operators should all take an interest here. There is a $124 Billion industry that needs you. If you will be at the upcoming RLC and Food On Demand conferences, send me a note if you want to discuss catering or if you just want to say hello.

What I learned managing the world's biggest cocktail competition. 🍸 They are a proven way to increase bartender recommendations of your brands 🍸 They give you an insight into the latest trends and techniques 🍸 There is so much to gain for competitors beyond being the winner. Some of the most successful bartenders competed in competitions without winning and went on to create some of the world's best bars. 🍸 They help build community. The important part is how you then nurture it 🍸 They take time to build. Consistency is important so that bartenders start to anticipate their arrival each year 🍸 They are a whole lot of fun! I share insights into #tradeadvocacy and #onpremise marketing. Follow for more.
