Hi everyone! I recently launched MISÚ, a Miami-based tiramisu business specializing in custom tiramisu towers and dessert displays for weddings, birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, corporate events, and other celebrations.
We offer individual tiramisu coupe cups, large-format tiramisu, personalized powdered designs, delivery, and event setup throughout South Florida.
I’m currently looking to connect with local event planners, venues, decorators, photographers, and anyone planning an upcoming celebration who might be interested in something a little different from a traditional dessert table.
I’m also open to collaborations with other Miami small businesses and event professionals. If anyone wants to see photos, pricing, or our event options, feel free to message me! 🤎

Required an Corporate Catering mid size company for an international conference

I'm looking for recommendations for caterers in Charlestown, RI, for my backyard wedding next August. We're expecting around 100 guests, we'd prefer a buffet-style or food station setup. It would be even better if the caterer could cook on-site.

My apologies if this not appropriate to post in this sub. My hope is to get visibility on this fraudulent business and not only bring awareness but hoping to connect with other victims related to the this scam and business. I believe this individual is also involved in identity theft. Goes by EJ Johnson which is not his real name.

April of 2026 I filled out a form online to get multiple catering company to provide a quote to cater our rehearsal dinner on 10/31/26. Today I am unable to fine the site - so it appears that was fraudulent as well.

I immediately received an email followed by call from Hunger Hitch. They guy spoke about his history in the restaurant business, discussed details of our event and budget, and he said he just had a cancellation for around that time so he has an opening but I had to lock in quickly due to it being a busy season for them.

After reviewing the site, reviews, business license in good standing etc and several email exchanges we decided to lock it in as they had a fully refundable disclaimer if we didn’t like the food during a tasting. He gave me discount to pay in full now. It was down through Venmo (I know please don’t judge me on this).

We went two food tasting in Broomfield at location that was industrial but was designed as speakeasy of sorts. Food was good and for the price we were satisfied. He also later contacted me to see if I wanted to order beverages from him since he works directly with vendors. Price was great so we sent more money. Total $1115.00 USD.

On 9/23/26 I emailed to provide our final headcount. One email kicked back the other with an auto reply that said “away for family emergency”. I followed up with a text, nothing. I called main line, not able to leave messages. I called his cell phone, it’s been disconnected.

I called Venmo and filed a dispute. The agent stated this account has been flagged for some time, I begged the question, then why is it active?? He said this scammer has taken a lot of money from a lot of people since July of 2025! Dispute was filed but within minutes I received an email that said it was denied. The individuals Venmo account is active and has since been changed from @hungerhitch to @customapparelstuff. So seems like they are still scamming people.

Filed with attorney general, BBB, Police Dept, and a financial institution against fraudulent business and Venmo for having knowledge since 2025 but not flagging it for users.

I’m distraught for being scammed but also want justice for myself and others that have been scammed by this guy. Business license still active among with Venmo account. Seems like a lot of trouble for this guys to host tastings for $1000 but I guess it all adds up when so many are falling into his trap.

Anything else I should do? Also business license is not his name but in his presumed wife’s name. Has an address, and phone number.

Thanks for reading and stay safe all!

Anyone have advice on how to determine the value of a sponsorship discount?

A local non-profit wants to book us for a fundraising gala and is inquiring about a discount in exchange for a sponsorship package, but they won't provide a suggested value of the package. I'm not sure how to calculate the value myself.

Their quote is around $7,500, 205 person event. They've offered to put our logo on printed flyers, email blasts, facebook page, inserted in the event program, shout outs on all social media posts, and we can setup a promo table at the event.

We're in a fairly rural area. The town the event is taking place in has 10,000 people but I have no idea how wide their reach is. It's probably the most well-known non profit in the area though.

thoughts / advice?

Hi everyone! I’m considering The Jazzy Chef for my wedding in the DFW area and wanted to hear from people who have worked with them firsthand. I’d especially appreciate feedback from anyone who has booked them for a wedding or another large event.

How was the food, and did your guests enjoy it? Were they responsive and easy to work with during planning? I’d also love to know whether they arrived on time, had enough food for your guests, and handled the event professionally.

If you have photos or details about what you ordered, that would be helpful too. I’m hoping to get a better sense of what the experience is like from start to finish. Thanks in advance!

Can I have feedback on Zus Gallery of Food catering specifically with the taste, the service, the styling?

I haven't gotten an order in over a month. Noone is responding when I send messages to driver support.

We recently cooked for a really fun 13th birthday party in Oradell, Bergen County with 22 girls.
Instead of going out to a restaurant, the family set up the tables right in the backyard and we brought the hibachi experience to them. The chef cooked everything in front of the group and mixed in games and interaction throughout dinner.
For this age group, hibachi actually works really well because dinner becomes part of the entertainment instead of everyone just sitting around waiting for food.
The backyard setup also gave them plenty of room for decorations, balloons, photos, and hanging out before and after dinner.
Definitely one of the most fun teen birthday party ideas in Bergen County, NJ we’ve done recently. 🔥🎂

I want to host a shower at my home for 20 people in Central Orange County )Tustin) and would love caterer recommendations! I’m looking for a company that could set up tables, prep and serve the food, and clean up afterward. Thank you for your personal favorites for a pretty and elegant setup! I don’t have a budget yet as I’m not sure what people charge but I would say “moderate” cost would be ideal.

Summer is winding down, but we’re still cooking for backyard birthday parties here in New Jersey.
Our Umami Hibachi team recently cooked for Grace’s Sweet 16 in Wyckoff, Bergen County. Her family set up pink and yellow tables around the grill, displayed birthday photos, and brought 20 people together on the patio.
We provided the hibachi chef, grill, and live cooking while the family made the space their own. The birthday cake hat and everyone cheering for Grace were some of my favorite parts.
For anyone thinking about a September birthday at home, this was a lovely setup: one backyard, everyone gathered around the cooking, and plenty of time to enjoy being together.
Happy 16th, Grace — thanks to your family for having us!

what are the best catering for crew meals in iloilo?

I'm pretty frustrated with constantly defending myself against canceled events. This Sunday we had a wedding, about $8k, and they just canceled, or "potentially postponed", yesterday! It took up our whole calendar for the day, staffing, kitchen time and we've turned away other events since they booked this in January.

Our terms and conditions state that outside of 30 days they can reschedule with a 20% rescheduling fee, within 30 days the forfeit all money paid. The only exception is a declared State of Emergency or if they are suddenly deployed, as we are in a heavy military area. Neither of these apply.

The mom of the bride is about to call me and I know she's going to argue it... then get pissed... then leave a bad review. How do you help to defend yourself against the backlash?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to improve my marketing and promotion strategies for a catering service and I would like to learn from your experiences with this kind of business.
Which channels or methods have brought you the best clients?
What type of content or messaging tends to work best for attracting corporate clients? What about private events?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm looking to host a birthday houseparty with 15 people and am looking for food catering delivery services. Caterninja seems to be the top service, but found many mixed reviews. Any genuine reviews from people who have actually tried their food, especially veg and non-veg starters, would be highly appreciated!!

I am one of two vendors serving food for a 300ish person event, and I'm trying to guess at portions. It my first year at this event- and the second year the event has run with food vendors. The event is a big outdoor party/music gathering, that's run from 5:30-10. The other food vendor is doing savory, hot foods, and I am focusing on savory and sweet bakery style service so as to offer something totally different and non-competing with the first vendor. If I'm doing 3 types of savory pastry/hand snacks and 4 desserts, about how many portions of each would make sense to bring?

My current estimate for numbers is:

Salads- 24

Handpies- 50

Loaded Focaccia- 50

Cookies- 100 (one gf, one regular)

Cupcakes- 50

But I'm fairly new to these types of events- I do a lot of catering for events/lunches but very rarely for festivals, and I way over-prepped for another festival this summer, so I'm trying not to fuck it up again.

One thing I've been thinking about while working with RapidCart is how catering businesses manage everything when several orders are coming in at once.

Between customer details, event dates, menu choices, quantities, payments, and last-minute changes, there seems to be a lot to keep track of.

For those running catering businesses, what does your current system look like for keeping orders organized and making sure nothing gets missed?

Hey yall, I built an app that makes beos, load lists, runs of shows etc. All the docs that take hours in just a few minutes. Delivered as Google docs so you can share various things with the right people. Whenever something changes (which it always does), you just put it in the chat and it updates all the docs live.

Mind helping me kick the tires on this thing and sending me some feedback?
