Wondering how you can change the vibe at your next Monday morning pow-wow with the team or business meeting with a prospective client? Food; it's always the answer. The best companies don't let hunger get the best of their employees, clients, or guests ... instead, they break out their corporate catering A-game. Next time you sit down for your weekly meeting, remember there are ways to keep your people smiling and full (and these are just a few). 

Breakfast Meetings

Let's face it - no one really enjoys that 8am meeting on Monday morning. Tired eyes and growling stomachs don't have to enter the boardroom each week (we know you probably skipped breakfast). And because breakfast is the most important meal of the day, why not show your team how much you value them with a hot and ready breakfast?

Corporate Lunches & Meeting Breaks

As the hardworking professional you are, you probably find yourself or your team members skipping lunch to get to the next meeting. There's nothing wrong with staying busy, but remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Fuel yourself and your team with a catered lunch like local technology company, Marco, does every Tuesday.
