I manage the planning of all catering operations for Snoice, an average of 1-3 events per week. Snoice provides full-service and take-out catering for private events (weddings, birthday parties, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, etc.) and public events and festivals. My work begins with customer inquiries, creating estimates and responding to inquiries. I have a strong success rate converting inquiries into sales. Once the event is confirmed, I work closely with the customer to understand their vision for their event and advise them on menu selections and timing. I then create an event timeline, schedule catering staff, assign prep tasks, and utilize strong communication to liaise between the customer and caterers who execute the event. Overall, our customers are incredibly happy with our services and continuously refer us to others.I joined the team as catering events were rapidly growing after a pause from COVID shutdowns. I have established strong relationships with the marketing and management teams to grow the catering operations and establish effective procedures for catering. In particular, I have adapted my approach to ensure catering operations are sustainable for all involved. I regularly seek and implement feedback from all members of the company including baristas, caterers, and managers to reduce burnout and develop commitment to the catering branch.
