Event case studies
Three examples of catering shaped around the people, spaces and schedule of an event.
Success Academy: five days of conference hospitality
Glasshouse · Conference and training program
The brief: A five-day conference program for hundreds of guests, with the first day's lunch planned for 850.
Our approach: We planned rotating boxed lunches, all-day coffee and tea service, dietary-specific meals and an opening reception. Menus changed throughout the week, from chicken salad and roast turkey sandwiches to Italian sandwiches and vegetarian selections, with vegan and gluten-free options. Service was timed around training sessions to keep a full week of hospitality running alongside the program.
Endless Frontier Labs: a conference across multiple spaces
NYU Stern · Frontiers conference
The brief: Breakfast, staggered lunches and breaks for hundreds of guests across multiple spaces.
Our approach: We coordinated breakfast in the Upper Concourse, lunch service in Commons and a separate event room, and dedicated morning and afternoon break coverage. Captains led the lunch teams while another team managed breaks. Each location and service period had assigned staff within one coordinated catering plan.
NYU Stern OSE: Langone LAB from breakfast to reception
NYU Stern · Office of Student Engagement
The brief: Full-day Langone LAB hospitality, with breakfast and a closing reception planned for 300 guests, lunch for 350 across two areas, and afternoon breaks in three rooms.
Our approach: Breakfast included spinach and chèvre frittata bites, mini bagels, pastries and fruit. The lunch buffet paired herb-roasted chicken and roasted salmon with summer squash lasagna, vegetables and salad. Captains led the two lunch teams while a dedicated break team covered coffee, cold brew and snacks in three rooms. A closing reception with passed hors d'oeuvres and bar service completed the day.
