Catering Trends: April 2020
Hi everyone,
I want to know one thing: how can we help you?
Through the booms and busts of my family’s 30-year history in the industry, I’ve never seen anything like this. My mission right now is to do all I can to help you make it through this time stronger than ever.
That’s why during April, we (Nuphoriq) are putting our years of catering marketing experience to good use. We’re offering free marketing consultations, minor website edits and online ordering advice to any caterer in need.
So, how can we help you?
Schedule a meeting with me to start the conversation.

Free ? Bars
Appearing on the top of your website, a hello bar can help promote your new delivery and holiday menus without annoying visitors. See the bar at the top of M Culinary Concepts? Can’t miss it, that’s the point! If you’re familiar with WordPress you can self install using this plugin, otherwise we’re here to help.

Online Ordering in One Day
Since corona hit the fan, we’ve been scrambling to uncover the fastest, easiest way set up online ordering.
Here’s the good news:
With Square.com, you can set up a free online store complete with pickup, delivery and meal customization. Square is beginner friendly. It takes about 2 hours to set up and 2 hours to add menu items. Here’s the result: CraveCurbside.com, FunkysCurbside.com.
