It’s been a minute since I’ve logged onto Facebook on an actual computer and I see this nifty little thing on here about telling my story, so I’m like, alrighty then. :-)
My name is Amy Van Meter; I’ve been in the hospitality industry (mainly bartending) for the past 12 years.
When I was 18, I had the option of going to school and at the time, it was a toss-up between hospitality management and journalism. I ended up graduating with a BA from UW-Stevens Point in 2009 for Communication and had a run as a reporter for the Voice of Wisconsin Rapids until they closed.
Since high school, I’ve always bartended and had entertained the idea of running my own business; at home, I was constantly cooking and hosting dinner parties with my friends to try new recipes.
The longer I continued working in the hospitality industry, the deeper my passion grew of starting my own business.
After taking some online classes in hospitality management and getting some business advice through the Small Business Association, I decided to try it on my own and opened Dilly Dahl Deli in Aug. 2017.
Currently, my business serves lunches to the employees at the Lands’ End building in Stevens Point on Thursdays; I am hoping to expand this through 2018 and am working on landing some events as well. :-)
My main menu consists of deli style sandwiches (both hot and cold now!), wraps, salads and homemade soups; there may be more to come this year as well!
I hope you take a look at this page, see what I have to offer and enjoy the food if I have the pleasure to serve you. :-)
And why is it called Dilly Dahl Deli? I named it after our cats, Miss Dahlia and Mr. (Dill) Pickles. :-) My boyfriend, Peter, designed the cute logo.
Thanks for checking out Dilly Dahl Deli and have a good one!
