Creative Catering and DeliWoodbine, GeorgiaThe PeopleKelly, Tammy and Bobby are three hardworking, pleasant and
people oriented staff. They knew everyone who came into the cafe while we
were there, Doctors, Nurses and local business folks. Some had ordered in
by phone, some, like us, came unannounced but warmly welcomed by name, and in a
couple of instances the staff asked if they wanted their favorite dish.
Perfect. Know your customer, recognize them by name and history, and
welcome them warmly. Here are the people: Who would expect to have a dessert tray served at a Deli, as they call themselves. Not me, and it was a blowout success. I'm moved to add this as another key to success. New stuff, surprises and unexpected events and an ingredient of success. The FoodThe food was scrumptious, a word I have never used before. I am a coffee fanatic, but I do like my food. I can tell you the sandwiches I had was terrific, and it looked good. Red Skinned Potato Salad is enough to get me to go back again and again. It was good. Cathy had Chicken Fajita Salad and it was the Chicken Fafita that filled the room with just unbelievable aroma's. It was finished in no time at all. Then there was my Peach Cobbler, which was just perfect, not too sweet, but sweet. I could only see the other folks get served and all the meals looked good. As an aside, the house was almost 100% full in a very small town. The PlaceIt was well thought out and well decorated. The paint selection and paint job were expert, and this I know since by Grandfather Pop Johnson was a painter and paper hanger by trade and he taught me how to paint and evaluate my work. He also taught me how to 'Walk' a 40 foot wood (meaning heavy) extension ladder. I wish he were still with us as he was a great person who took a special interest in me. Back to the place. Expose the kitchen to the customers assuring them that the place is clean and well organized. Only do this if your place, like Creative Catering and Deli, is clean and well organized and I should add, although I don't believe in should, that the staff be friendly and well met. No gum chewing please. It was interesting to see again the mix of staff. Kelly from Savannah, a native Georgian, Bobby from Philadelphia and the suburbs in NJ, where Cathy and I live, and Tammy hailing from Miami, but also from the Rome area of upstate NY. So, why are you here?, I asked. Weather is the universal response.
