HOLIDAY PREMIUMS 

It’s always a difficult thing to have to tell people that you have to charge more for social catering.
But it’s a fact of life in the catering world that due to extremely tight schedules, we must charge a premium for jobs booked on and around holidays. A Premium charge of 25% will be added to social catering orders for the week of November 22-24. November 25-27 will have a premium charge of 50% added. December 1-19 will have a premium charge of 20% added. December 20 – January 2 will have a premium charge of 50% added.
 ***BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!***
If the Cleveland Browns go to the Super Bowl, and you are a happy client who has endured the premiums listed above, we will offer a drop-off Super Bowl party catering spread for 50% off! Restrictions apply- inquire for details

SUMMERTIME RECIPE 

It’s still summer here in Cleveland. And most people we know are not looking forward to another cold and hard winter ahead. So let’s keep summer in our minds as long as we can.

FROM OUR KITCHEN TO YOU

It’s a common question to be asked “do you cook from your home?” The answer is no. We operate out of the Cleveland Culinary Launch & Kitchen in downtown Cleveland. This is a shared kitchen dedicated to enhancing and growing new and existing culinary ventures. With several work stations available, our preferred station is pictured.

What is BNI? You see the link on our website and at the bottom of all of our emails. But what is BNI about?

BNI (Business Networking International) is the world’s largest networking organization passing over 6.6 billion referrals and translating to over $8.6 BILLION in worldwide sales between its members, based on last year’s numbers. Chef Kim is a member of the True North Networkers Chapter in North Olmsted, OH.

Business for KimBrûlée has increased over 100% since joining BNI in December 2012.

Here is an excerpt for you to read:
Our Philosophy The philosophy of this organization is built upon the idea of "Givers Gain®": By giving business to others, you will get business in return. This is predicated on the age-old idea of "What goes around, comes around."

The mission of BNI is to help members increase their business through a structured, positive, and professional "word-of-mouth" program that enables them to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with quality business professionals.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you... ...because all of them carry several copies of your business cards around with them. When they meet someone who could use your products or services, they take out your card and recommend you.* It's as simple as that! It's simple because it's based on a proven concept by BNI Founder, Dr. Ivan Misner, called "Givers Gain®." If I give you business you'll give me business and we'll both benefit as a result.

Last year alone, members of BNI passed 6.6 million referrals... ...which generated over $8.6 billion dollars' (U.S.) worth of business for its members! BNI is a business and professional networking organization that allows only one person per professional classification or specialty to join a chapter.

Would you like to increase your business by 20%, 30%, 50% or as much as 100%? You can see results like this! Many have. Some participants have added as many as 50 new clients in the first 2 years!!! Successful businesses depend on word-of-mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best advertising there is.

BNI provides a structured and supportive system of giving and receiving business. It does so by providing an environment in which you develop personal relationships with dozens of other qualified business professionals. By establishing this "formal" relationship with other people, you will have the opportunity to substantially increase your business.
