It's one thing to say you take care of your people. It's another to say it out loud, on a recorded panel, with the people affected sitting right there to confirm or contradict it.

In an episode of Seasoned Leaders, Upper Crust CEO Adam Guy and President Jack Dawson sit down with HR leader Melanie Meltzer to break down the three pillars behind the company's employee experience, then hand the mic to three team members who can point to the exact moments those pillars showed up in their own careers.

It’s the little things that make a big difference. 🧁

At Upper Crust, hospitality goes beyond what’s on the menu. Sometimes, it’s as simple as remembering a birthday and adding a personal touch to make someone feel celebrated.

These September birthday cupcakes are a sweet example of how our teams find meaningful ways to create moments of connection and make the dining experience feel a little more like home.

Because the smallest gestures often leave the biggest impressions. 💚

A formal, a philanthropy event, and recruitment week all need food service, but they don't need the same plan. Different guest counts, different timelines, different stakes if something goes wrong.

Whether you're a social chair locking down logistics or an alumni advisor keeping an eye on the budget, the caterer you choose should already know the difference.

A calm dining hall in September isn't an accident. It's the result of a team that started planning months before the first student walked through the door.

Every contract food service company can quote a management fee and a purchasing scale. What's harder to fake is whether your campus still gets attention once the contract is signed.

New on the Table Talk Blog: how self-op and contracted dining actually compare, what outsourcing costs, and how to choose the right partner for a small or mid-size campus. https://bit.ly/4hb43Hx
