[NL] Three ways hospitality leaks revenue

[NL] 📞

[NL] Phones during service

[NL] Catering and party calls land in the same rush as walk-ins—someone loses every time.

[NL] Big-ticket catering latency

[NL] Corporate and wedding planners email at night; slow reply means they book the next caterer who answered.

[NL] 🥗

[NL] Allergen & policy drift

[NL] Phone vs. web

[NL] 🍽️ Catering Inquiry

[NL] Do you cater corporate events?

[NL] Yes! We cater corporate events of all sizes. Our packages start at $25/person for lunch and $45/person for dinner. What's the occasion and approximate guest count?

[NL] Company holiday party, about 75 people

[NL] That sounds wonderful! For 75 guests, I'd recommend our premium package with passed apps and buffet. Let me get your contact info and our catering manager will follow up with a custom proposal. What's your event date?

[NL] 👥 Large Party

[NL] Can you accommodate a group of 15 for Saturday?

[NL] We'd love to host your group! For parties of 15+, we recommend our private dining room. There's a $500 food/beverage minimum. What time were you thinking, and would you like to do family-style or individual ordering?
