We have a campus partner that does all catering on campus, they do their catering orders separate from EMS but when they get overwhelmed or fully booked, they allow groups to get off campus catering. That could be one way to continue allowing events.

Subject: EMS Question Regarding Catering
Our Catering department like many others is having trouble fully staffing their operations. They have asked us if we could block out certain date ranges when they get overwhelmed by the number of events on the schedule. We have not been able to come up with any recommendations for them except to extend the minimum lead time from 5 business days to 10 business days to allow them more time to prepare. I'm wondering if anyone else has come up with some other type of work around or creative solution in a similar situation. Thanks in advance for any responses.
