Not Your Average Catering Company

Steven Salazar, Catering Manager at Chef Penelope’s Catering, took a few minutes out of his day to tell us a little more about this one-of-a-kind catering company and the impressive online reputation they’ve managed to build.

To start our conversation, we asked Steven what it is that sets Chef Penelope’s Catering apart from their competition in Tennessee. Steven told us that they are flexible when it comes to creating a menu. This way, clients aren’t forced into anything, and for the most part, there are no menu restrictions.

Building Success by Following Up and Asking for Feedback

When we asked Steven about Chef Penelope’s Catering’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he told us that they always follow up with their clients to ensure satisfaction, and they ask for honest feedback. If the feedback is good, they’ll ask the client to submit a good review for them.

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Chef Penelope’s Catering has spread the word about who they are and what they do through Facebook and Instagram, as well as word of mouth. They also work closely with local venues in their community.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Chef Penelope’s Catering has. Here’s the expert advice Steven has for them:

“Make sure that the client is happy with the service every single time and that they are fully aware of what to expect.”


Congratulations to the team at Chef Penelope’s Catering for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Steven, for taking the time to speak with us!
