Liberty Lane Catering provides delicious food for many memorable events. But why is food such an important aspect of an event in the first place? Bear with us while we get a bit sentimental… When Liberty Lane Catering caters an event, we aren’t just working to keep tummies from rumbling. We think food is about much more than sustenance:

1. Food is a gift to your guests. Whether you want your employees to feel valued or your family to feel loved, sharing a meal with others lets them know you care and that you want them to be content.
2. Food sets the mood. Well-fed people tend to be happier – which makes an event a lot more pleasant. After all, no one wants to spend time with a bunch of people who haven’t eaten in a while. There’s a reason “hangry” (hungry + angry) has become a word.
3. Food fuels productivity. A healthy meal makes people more productive, which is why it’s beneficial to serve food at a corporate event.
4. Food keeps the peace. Even if you aren’t looking to get business done, you want people to get along. Food is something we all have in common, and it has conciliatory power. Whether you want your boss’s boss and an entry level employee to feel connected or your conservative cousin and your liberal uncle to find common ground, food makes all sorts of events go more smoothly.
5. Food makes conversation flow. Run out of things to say? Simply take a bite of the delicious meal in front of you. If there’s an awkward lull in the conversation, you can always talk about food to fill the gap. As far as conversation-starters go, it’s almost as reliable as the weather. And food tastes are much more varied than weather preferences, so you’ll find just enough disagreement to keep things interesting.

Can you see why we aren’t exaggerating when we say our business is about a lot more than food (although our food is great)? Tell us about your favorite shared meal!
