Adjusting to Rising Food Cost


You hear it on the news everyday the cost of living is rising and now the cost has reached our local grocery stores. As a company we are starting to see these costs with our vendors for many food items we purchase and of course this cost has to be passed to the consumer so we can remain profitable with out gouging the consumer.
So what becomes important is quality versus quantity and pricing. This is the time to reinvent our Catering business plan but stay true to our over all goal of providing the highest level of quality to our customers. We are finding in this rising cost environment customers who are seeking quality but want options to keep costs lower.
Well, we have an answer without jeopardising our reputation and that is "Express Catering". We provide the same catered food items artfully presented on trays, ready for the chaffing dish, equipment rentals, and all the items to make a perfect event but the client picks it up at our store location and they take it home, set it up, do the clean up afterwards, and return the items back to us cleaned and ready for the next customer. The savings overall is over 15% of the acutal food and beverage cost.
So if you have the time to set up your event and clean up afterwards, want quality meal selection, and still want the event to be the talk of town then "Express Catering" helps keep the budget in check and the savings in your pocket.
