I just wanted to thank everyone for all their help. The meal turned out fantastic. I had few problems. I had plenty of food and it all tasted great.

I actually lost a few servers the day of the event and couldn't replace them in time. It worked out alright though. My other staff busted butt and filled the void.

The only thing I hated was the facility itself. The dish washing area was grossly inadequate and there wasn't enough room in the kitchen.....particularly for a 5 course plated meal!!! Had it been a buffet, it would have been okay. The facility only allowed ONE eight foot table in the kitchen area!!!! It was insane!!!!!!!!

But we managed and the night was a success. Thanks to all who helped! I really appreciated it!!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of catering. The best part is that eventually you won't be surprised anymore and you will be able to handle any situation!
Congratulations and enjoy
