But the COVID-19 pandemic impacted Pranzi’s business. From the rising cost of goods, higher fuel prices and ongoing labor shortages, the caterer has had to be both flexible and more mindful of the bottom line.
Such focus, along with treating employees and customers with care, enabled Pranzi to grow despite the health crisis, increasing its revenue by 49.7% last year compared with 2019. One factor to Pranzi’s growth was that it offers everything an event needs, from tents to tables to chairs to linens and everything in between.
“We also make things easier for our clients with the rentals, so customers feel ease planning an event with us since we have all the resources they need,” Pranzi co-owner and General Manager Nick Mattiello said.
