In September we provided our first Caffeinated Catering service in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
. We set up near Warehouse Row alongside representatives from CBI, Moore Solutions, OFS, Spartan Surfaces, Tarkett Home, CF Stinson, Arc-Com Fabrics, Southern Lighting Source, SESCO Lighting Inc., LightArt, J+J Flooring, Interface, 3form, Creative Support Services, RSreps, Alliance Design, N2 Lines, & WIT Contract.
This group of representatives organized an Architectural Trunk Show so that they could safely visit with their partners & offer local students an opportunity to learn about their companies, product lines, & updates in their professions.
The Architectural Trunk Show was held outside, socially distancing was observed & face covering were worn to make it a safe environment or everyone during the pandemic.
Working within these guidelines is appreciated & easy for us. In order to serve in an outdoor setting all we need is a relatively flat surface & a source for electricity. On this day, a member of the OFS team provided us with a small, gas generator that provided more than enough power to run our espresso machine & blender.
During the Trunk Show, representatives set up tent spaces that highlighted products & information about their companies. Partners & students were invited to come get their coffee from our Coffee Cart, made to their specifications, as a treat they could enjoy as they walked from tent to tent.
We served from 8:30a to 12:30n, which allowed us to provide coffee to those who needed a caffeinated boost first thing during their work day, or as added momentum to carry them into their lunch breaks & afternoon meetings.
