Dallas is home to hundreds of catered social events every year. Weddings, fundraisers and holiday parties dominate the news and your social media feed! In addition to large social events and conventions, Dallas has become a destination for corporate giants to expand and for local start-up’s build their businesses. This constant influx of new and growing businesses has created a high demand for corporate catering in Dallas.
Law firms, accounting firms and other businesses located in Downtown Dallas prefer to cater meals on-site during meetings instead of venturing to a restaurant. Meeting planners often arrange corporate catering for all-day events, such as executive meetings, employee appreciation, training or client functions. For these important days, a trusted caterer is responsible for setting up breakfast, transitioning to lunch and ensuring that the meals are ready on time at the height of freshness. In order to properly execute this type ofcorporate catering in Dallas, ensure that your staff is highly trained in these five key aspects:
Keys to Corporate Catering in Dallas: Excellent Staff
Corporations in Dallas pride themselves on being professional and strive to be the best in their field – they expect the same from their caterers. Impress your guests with staff that are well-trained to handle the specific type of event that they are catering and performs their duties quickly and efficiently. Set your staff up for success by providing them with detailed information, timelines and any special requests for every event – large or small. Corporations often require catering several times a week – if possible, often send the same staff to locations that we serve regularly to ensure they are familiar with the facility and client expectations.
Keys to Corporate Catering in Dallas: Timing Is Everything
Since corporate catering allows businesses to have special meetings and events on-site, caterers in Dallas need to adapt to a new type of “venue.” Unlike a traditional event venue, many conference rooms or boardrooms are utilized for several events each day. The timing for set up and strike of catered meals is critical to ensure that the meeting room is prepared for its next event.
Keys to Corporate Catering in Dallas: Communication
Unlike many social events that are planned months (sometimes years) in advance, corporate meetings or conferences are planned on the fly or have last minute changes/additions. Communication between sales and catering staff critical to executing a successful event.
Keys to Corporate Catering in Dallas: Expect the Unexpected
Being on time is imperative, and is not as easy as one may think in Dallas. Office towers are high-traffic sites. Many delivery trucks, vendors and employees come and go randomly. Caterers must allow extra time for challenging parking issues and crowded service elevators. Many unexpected issues may arise but, with proper planning and preparation, they are easily resolved.
Keys to Corporate Catering in Dallas: Be Prepared
Often times, caterers are not allowed to stay and continually replenish a buffet during a meeting or conference. It is important to provide a sufficient amount of portions of each item served (always prepare for a few extra guests) and to bring the correct service equipment to maintain proper food temperatures over an extended amount of time.

Who is the American Cancer Society?
Founded over 100 years ago, the American Cancer Society is known for its nationwide, free programs and services for people with cancer and their families. Their mission is to help those with cancer understand their disease, manage all the ups and downs of treatment and recovery, and be emotionally supportive during the entire journey. The ACS has several programs in place to fulfill this mission:
The National Cancer Information Center provides 24/7/365 hotline and live chat to provide accurate, timely information about services and resources in the patients’ communities.
Patient Lodging Programs provides hotel stays when patients are away from home for treatment.
Road to Recovery provides rides to cancer patients who need assistance getting to and from treatment.
Reach to Recovery is designed for breast cancer patients to be matched with a mentor who has “been there” to talk about ways to cope with breast cancer.
TLC catalog and website provides breast cancer support with products such as wigs, hairpieces breast forms, and mastectomy swimwear.
Look Good Feel Better allows volunteer cosmetologists to teach women (also men and teenagers) to deal with appearance-related side effects of cancer, including skin and hair issues.
Patient Navigator Program connects a patient with a patient navigator to talk one-on-one about a patient’s situation.
How does the American Cancer Society raise money?
The ACS has many fundraisers all over the country all year long. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks are three to five miles of friendly walking with entertainment afterward. Another popular fundraiser is Relay for Life. Relay for Life events have a few things in common: team participation, emphasis on survivors & caregivers as well as decorated paper bag luminarias, glowing with candles, each representing a life. The Coaches vs Cancer fundraiser and educational programs is driven by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Volunteers for the ACS also plan many galas, balls and parties to fundraise for this worthy cause. The largest single-day fundraiser is the Cattle Baron’s Ball.
The Cattle Baron’s Ball Event in Dallas
This year marks the 45th annual Cattle Barron’s Ball. The Cattle Barron’s Ball was introduced in 1974 and over the years has raised over $77 million dollars for research which funded, among other things, the development of several drugs to treat breast cancer, a prostate cancer PSA screening test, the ‘inherited gene’ discovery for breast and colon cancer and the Clinical Trials Matching Service which allows patients to choose from over 65,000 options for treatment.
“The American Cancer Society does so much good for those with and affected by cancer,” John Gilbert, President and Owner of G Texas Catering said, “Their volunteers inspire us as they work tirelessly to raise funds for this worthy cause to give back every chance that we can.”

G Texas Catering’s Newest Philanthropic Adventure
G Texas Cateringis joining forces with the WakWay Foundationto combat food insecurity among children in the Dallas area. Food insecurity is more than just being hungry. It is the lack of consistent access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Many people in Dallas and its surrounding communities do not know where their next meal is coming from. It is estimated that 1 in every 4 children in Texas (almost 1.9 million) are food insecure. In North Texas alone, 300,000 children can’t count on having enough food at mealtimes.
G Texas Catering has recognized this heartbreaking reality for many of our neighbors in Dallas and has begun fighting the battle against food insecurity by repurposing extra food from the hundreds of events we cater every year. We will box up surplus food for WakWay to take to inner cities and shelters in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Through this partnership, G Texas Catering will be able to donate over 1,000 pounds of food each year!
What is WakWay?
The WakWay Foundation was created by Don “Wak” Wakamatsu, a former professional major league player, scout, manager and current coach at the Texas Rangers. As a professional athlete, Wak had a strong desire to find a way to help people, especially children, stay healthy. He provides easy to make, healthy meals and snacks to children in the Dallas area.
The WakWay Foundation also founded The Produce Stand project. This idea came to fruition when Wak noticed a crop of cherries at his family farm wasn’t being picked because it was cost prohibitive. He realized that this abandoned crop and many more like it could be used to feed people who are struggling with food insecurity. He immediately began devising a transportation system to get abandoned crops to shelters and other volunteer organizations in the Dallas area.
However, he found that getting the food from donor to the children and families in need is the biggest detriment to feeding the hungry. According to the WakWay Foundation, the problem with getting food to those who need it most is not the lack of food – it’s the complication of logistics that keep this food away from those who need it. It is estimated that over 72 billion pounds of perfectly good food, worth $218 billion, goes to waste each year. This food waste fills up to 21% of our landfills. Also, 20 billion pounds of fruits and vegetables are discarded on farms or abandoned in fields and plowed under. WakWay Foundation’sstreamlined transportation system allows food to go from the donation site to a table within hours, providing large quantities of healthy food to numerous people.
“As one of the largest event caterers in the Dallas area, I feel it is our responsibility to make our operation as sustainable and waste-free as possible,” said John Gilbert, President and Owner of G Texas Catering. “G Texas is proud to partner with this great organization allowing us to do what we love most, feed more people.”
About Us:
G Texas Catering is one of the leading catering and special events company operating in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, providing upscale catering, bar services and event design for high profile corporate events, galas, conventions, social gatherings, special occasions and for some of Dallas-Fort Worth’s top venues and meeting planners.
The G Texas Catering culinary team specializes in creating custom menus and fulfilling special requests for clients. What happens when the client requests a dish or variation of a dish that isn’t in our extensive recipe book? Executive Chef Micheal Gooch writes one.
Unlike most restaurants, catered events feature a wide variety of menus and cooking styles. Many events call for regional flavors such as Southwestern, Tex-Mex, Creole or Barbecue while others include global cuisine from Asian flavors to Mediterranean and traditional Italian offerings.
It takes years and years of practice with culinary techniques, flavor profiles and learning the science behind the art to have the ability to create a proper recipe from scratch.
To build a menu for a client requesting a specific theme, Chef Gooch researches culinary techniques, ingredients and traditions practiced in that culture. Combining research and his extensive culinary training, he not only replicates the dish but makes it his own. However, research and technique aren’t the only things that the Chef needs to consider when creating a recipe. In a restaurant environment, a meal is prepared and served immediately. At a catered event, we are often required to serve the meal several hours after preparation. Therefore, when a custom recipe is developed the chef must also consider:
* The event location
* The number of guests at the event
* Facilities available at the venue
* Demographics of the guests attending the event
* The style of service (seated dinner, buffet, chef-attended stations, tray passed, etc.)
All of these factors and many more will determine the types of food used, how it will be presented, how much food will be sent and how it will be transported to the event site. The Chef may be happy with the flavor profile and presentation of a meal at our corporate kitchen, but he must consider that the product temperature has to be maintained throughout delivery to the event venue and service to our guests.
If the venue has kitchen or preparation facilities the Culinary team will often deliver the components or “mise en place” to the venue and complete the preparation on site to ensure the meal is fresh and flavorful. Seasonings, garnishes and sauces are all carefully planned in the final plate presentation of the entree, Hors d’ Oeuvres or Dessert to be served.
Creating New Upscale, Modern Menus
The G Texas Catering culinary team doesn’t only create new menus at the request of our clients; creation is always at the forefront of Chef Gooch’s mind. The most sought-after event designers require menus and bar services that reflect their creativity and style. It’s important to anticipate and be able to create what people want. This ensures that G Texas Catering always has the most modern, upscale menu choices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The event industry is constantly changing to adapt to the latest trends and popular event themes. Due to these ever-changing trends, our culinary team is constantly designing new recipes to guarantee the execution of a delectable, personalized menu that your guests will remember.

Stu Selleck fell in love with cooking watching his father in the kitchen as a child. Since then, He knew he wanted to attend culinary school and become a chef.
“Chef Stu has been an incredible asset to our team, creating great menus and managing kitchen operations as a Venue Chef, Event Chef and Sous Chef for more than 4 years,” said John Gilbert, President of G Texas Catering, “He cares so much about our organization and takes complete ownership in every event and restaurant operation that he is a part of.”
He joined the G Texas Catering team in October of 2014 working as a chef in our corporate kitchen. After showing immense culinary and management skills, he was asked to head G Texas’s café operation at The Potter’s House.
Stu said the best part about being a member of the G Texas Catering family is just that; it is a family. Even though being a Sous Chef is a physically and mentally taxing career, its worth it to him to see the finished product leave the kitchen for the customer to enjoy!
Stu is loving life at the Artisan, especially when he can cook (and taste) Italian food – his favorite! He credits much of G Texas Catering success to its great leadership. We are proud to have Stu as a leader within our organization and an integral part of our successes.
