Growing a catering operation—especially across multiple locations—is no small feat. It takes consistent quality, strong customer relationships, and the right systems in place to keep everything running smoothly. That’s exactly why I was excited to sit down with Amber Polk, Catering Director at Soulman’s Bar-B-Que, for this episode of Restaurant Catering Smarts. Amber has helped Soulman’s expand its catering program across 20 locations, all while maintaining the scratch-made quality and hospitality that keeps customers coming back.

At CaterZen, we’re all about empowering restauranteurs to grow their catering businesses, and our Restaurant Catering Smarts podcast is your backstage pass to insights, strategies, and stories from the industry’s best. Hosted by me, Michael Attias, the founder of CaterZen Catering Software, each episode is designed to help you level up your catering game with actionable advice and real-world success stories.
