“Going into it this year, we have the experience of last year under our belts. We know approximately how many people to plan for, whereas last year we were just guessing. In addition to a bigger footprint, we have strict vendor guidelines that help them prepare for the masses. As you can imagine, when you’re used to cooking lunch for 40, lunch and dinner for 20,000 can be daunting.”
