Summary
The article describes a collaborative side project where partners organize themed dining events. One partner handles front-of-house operations while the other manages backoffice tasks. The process begins 3 months before events with theme selection and restaurant outreach, followed by menu and cost negotiations. At 4 weeks before the event, they send save-the-date emails with previous event recaps, then prepare invitations and payment forms in the final weeks. The content focuses on the operational workflow and division of responsibilities for running successful culinary events.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledMy partner and I divide and conquer. He focuses on front of house and I handle the backoffice.
The process starts ~3 months before the event. We start by picking a theme or region.
Then contact some restaurants that fit the criteria and pitch them the event. That kicks off the back and forth on cost and menu.
Around 4 weeks before the event we send a save the date + previous event recap email.
We summarize the last event and tease the next event, without giving away the actual restaurant or type of food.
