ZWZ~Caterers is the first zone created based on an industry category versus a territory.  With front of the house serving location changing from event to event and varying from homes to corporate offices to outdoor sites to reception facilities, caterers deal with a different set of circumstances than on-site foodservice.

Affairs to Remember finds the ZWZ program a revenue generator.  According to Patrick Cuccaro, ATR experienced well over $100,000 in sales made almost exclusively because ATR is a responsible caterer who “walks the talk” of sustainable practices.  Visit the ZWZ Testimonial Page for the full quote and the ZWZ Blog post Zero Waste Zones = Increased Green Dollars for additional antidotes on ZWZ’s contribution to ATR’s Big R (that would be Revenue!)
