New Podcast Episode: Mastering Corporate Catering with Jessica Lehrer, Owner of Adam & Joe’s Gourmet Eatery

When it comes to landing and keeping high-value corporate catering clients, some caterers rely on social media ads and cold email campaigns. But Jessica Lehrer, owner of Adam & Joe’s Gourmet Eatery, takes a different approach—one built on relationships, premium service, and creative marketing.

Jessica didn’t start out in catering. In fact, her background is in criminology and law enforcement (she even helped bust a credit card fraud ring!). But when she returned to the family business, she brought a strategic, investigative mindset to catering—identifying what corporate clients really value and creating a business that meets their needs better than anyone else.

Now, Adam & Joe’s is a go-to corporate caterer, serving high-end clients who value exceptional service, premium presentation, and consistent quality.
