Let us elevate your experience.
Guest-Centered Catering
We provide an experience that other caterers do not. We take a conscious approach to menu development and execution. We approach each menu and event with the intent to create memories for our guests.
We take ourselves seriously because we know you and your guests deserve our best. We are proud to be your culinary, hospitality, and sales teams. We are proud to serve, and we never take for granted the chance to be a part of fostering connections between people through food and service.
Creating memories is what we do best.
Amazing Food Made Easy
Casual Catering stems from our primary purpose- providing chef-driven cuisine that doesn’t compromise on quality or presentation. We believe that delivered food must be as uncommonly good as food our team cooks on location and that guests who desire delivery don’t deserve a step-down product.
Casual Catering is the solution for meetings and events that require amazing food but not a full- blown setup with culinary and hospitality teams on location. Think of this as a fully contained option that only requires someone to drop it off and set it on your table. Everything is delivered efficiently, in fully recyclable containers, ready to serve.
Elevated Event Drinkery
Cellar 9 was born from the need to elevate event-based bar service —beginning with your first contact with us. Our bartenders and hospitality team are trained experts who enjoy serving your guests and are dedicated to providing an experience that transcends expectations.
Fully licensed and insured, never utilizing temp staff, always using fresh juices, syrups, fruits, and herbs, we specialize in turning event bars into memorable experiences. We believe in beautifully set up bars, impeccably appointed bartenders, and uncommonly excellent hospitality.
Let us make it easy.
Practical & Measurable
Serving both local and national clients, Clear Stock Consulting advises, educates, and guides hospitality industry clients in implementing replicable and measurable sustainable systems and frameworks.
Sustainability must be practical and transparent. Through our direct, hands-on experience, we share how a hospitality business can and should operate functionally, especially concerning the environment for the people working there and the greater community at large.
