Join us for an eye-opening program to learn about “Catering Cures” that will help take the aches and pains out of your catering responsibilities. The session highlights real time banquet menus and photographs that we will put under the Rx microscope for further examination!

Throughout this interactive session focused on group catering, we will discuss:

• Tips for negotiating your food and beverage contracts
• Menu Design
• F&B trends: We'll focus time on ONE particular trend that's occurring!
• Presentations that work (and some that don’t).
• Accounting/BEO management and bills: How to keep good tracking

Our presenter Claire Gould has experience working all size groups and events throughout the United States and in over 23 countries worldwide! She stays current on culinary trends and costs and through years of experience, has learned the ins and out to effectively troubleshoot and negotiate on her clients behalf anything and everything that has to do with catering!
