susan_mSusan Mullaney, our amazing Corporate Catering Event Coordinator, took a few minutes of her very busy time to answer our Staff Seven questionnaire! We know you’ll find it fascinating and hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit more about Susan!

SS: We know you see nearly everything that comes out of the TOTT kitchen, so what is your favorite TOTT menu item?

SM: I love the Applewood Smoked Salmon and am a huge fan of our Lemongrass Beef Salad! Everyone is focusing on healthier cuisine for catered events, so both are perfect for corporate lunches or dinners.

SS: You come up with lots of creative event ideas for your many corporate catering clients. What are your favorite corporate event ideas?

SM: I am really enjoying working with clients to make their events have a little more fun infused! We have endless ideas – and are always coming up with new ones – but one we loved was converting Greystone at Piedmont Park into a ski lodge in the middle of the summer for a corporate event! That was fun! And, we converted Historic Rhodes Hall into a haunted house for a wedding! Guests will never forget either of those two events.

SS: You work tirelessly, but you must need to recharge. What do you like to do on your occasional day off?

SM: I really enjoy taking the boat out on the lake, water skiing and enjoying the sun and fresh air! Being with family and enjoying a meal cooked outdoors makes that day off even better.

SS: Do you have any pets?

SM: Yes, my lovely dog, Bella, who was a rescue.

SS: If you had more than just a day off, what would be your dream vacation destination?

SM: Skiing in the Swiss Alps!

SS: Do you have a personal favorite North Georgia destination?

SM: I love Lake Lanier and Lake Allatoona.

SS: You get thanked so often for making your clients happy with their TOTT catered event. What is your favorite thing that a client has ever thanked you for?

SM: Each thank you means the world to me, to be honest. I feel a personal connection with all of my clients. But, the ones that stand out the most are the thank yous I hear from people who appreciate our whole staff. Often, they mention delivery team members or servers by name in a thank you email or note. That means we really connected with our guests and that is the best!
