With Events Canceled, Austin Catering Companies Serve Meals to the Public | Eater Austin

"After losing nearly all their event bookings, I saw Crave Catering report doing zero business in March when it had expected $400 to $500,000 and losing events through June; general manager Leslie LaSorsa said "we're going to go broke" and described taking it week by week. Because the company focuses on weddings and large corporate events, it flipped on a dime to sell a la carte dishes, launching meal packages for holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day and a curbside branch offering family-style meals — a mix of American and European-style dishes such as hearty casseroles, pot pies, and grilled whole chicken — all available for curbside pickup and delivery. LaSorsa hopes the Paycheck Protection Program will help cover labor and utilities but noted it won't cover groceries or fixed costs, so they are dipping into savings." - Sarah Engstrand
