Tasty Catering featured in The Great Game of Business Blog post, “Catering Company Survives Tough Times by Teaching Employees to Think Like Owners”

December 24, 2014 by tastycatering Leave a Comment

Tasty Catering began as a fast-food hot dog stand called Tasty Dawg more than 25 years ago. Founded by a trio of entrepreneurial brothers, Tom, Larry and Kevin Walter, the company, which is based in the Chicago suburb of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, now serves up tasty treats at weddings, corporate meetings and conferences, social events, residential parties, special events, holiday parties, outdoor picnics, and more. Beyond its great food, Tasty has also garnered dozens of awards for its outstanding company culture.

Business Challenges

That challenge has only been exacerbated in recent years as more and more restaurants and sandwich-chain companies have entered the marketplace. One report suggested that some 2.5 million restaurants have entered the catering business since 2011, says co-founder and CEO Tom Walter. “It’s been a tremendous attack,” he says. “We’ve had to confront the challenge of why our customers would spend $10 for a Tasty lunch when they could spend $5 somewhere else.”
