"The show was very well organized, as always. We at Cambro look forward to Catersource each year because we love the opportunity it gives us to meet directly with so many caterers. They inspire us! It was especially exciting this year to see a new sense of optimism and hear about the ingenuity many have used to get through the hard times. Catersource is a very special gathering of great minds and great people. We will continue to be a big supporter!"

"Foodservice professionals are normally so busy running their business that getting in front of them with something new and different is a challenge. Catersource offers the unique opportunity for us to get the time that we need to explain our product and educate caterers at a time when they are receptive to new products and idea.  Our second year looks to be more impactful than our first."

Service Ideas

"I will definitely continue to exhibit at Catersource on a yearly basis and have recommended several other new companies to do the same. WELL worth the initial investment, we actually made our investment back before we even left the show this year (I had several large orders placed directly at the show)!"
Bedazzle My Bonbons

"It was a good platform for launching a new catering concept product and drew lots of restrained acceptance and praise. Our product (priced at $125,000+) was not expected to generate purchase orders at the show but has piqued some interest for future sales."
Loaves and Fishes

"So far it looks like Catersource 2010 will be just as full of quality leads as '09 was!  We are very pleased with the amount of customers Nick has been able to secure from the leads received. A lot of shows advertise "great leads," but then don't produce.  Catersource does and since we are not a food vendor that makes it even more awesome!"
The Cawley Company
