FAQs

Do you plan full conferences?
No. We focus on classic company picnics and high-capacity employee events, not conferences or plated/chef-station formats.

Can you support remote facilities?
Yes. Our rural logistics, generators, on-site refrigeration, and mobile kitchens, enable service at remote plants, yards, and warehouses across Florida and the Southeast.

Family-inclusive vs. employees-only, what’s right for us?
Both work. Family-inclusive builds community with loved ones; employees-only maximizes convenience and shift coverage. We’ll model timing, layouts, and costs for each.

How do you handle dietary restrictions at scale?
We offer Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options with clear allergen labeling. Ask about nut-free prep and additional protocols based on your policies.

Can you replicate the same picnic across multiple sites?
Yes. We use standardized menus, run-of-show, and equipment specs to deliver consistent experiences in Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa.
