How Patrick Morlando and Enjoy Your Party are Revolutionizing the Food Service Staffing Industry

No one knows the food service industry like Patrick Morlando. His entire career has been focused on rising through the ranks in the increasingly in demand segment, from his first job scooping ice cream at just 16 years old to his most recent job as the Sales Operations Manager for a leading coffee company. And now, that extensive experience is what’s helping to fuel the success of the emerging franchise concept Enjoy Your Party.

As Enjoy Your Party’s director of franchise operations, Morlando brings a strong appreciation for providing quality service to the table. He decided to become a part of the brand’s leadership team to support its ongoing expansion efforts. Realizing that customers have a choice on where they purchase their products and often make their decisions based on the service that they receive. Enjoy Your Party was the perfect opportunity for Morlando to dive right in.

To say that Enjoy Your Party has been thriving since Morlando signed on board would be an understatement—with over 450 employees and a reach that extends across five states, the brand is already experiencing growth. And with the implementation of its franchising opportunity, Enjoy Your Party is expected to continue building on its strong momentum in the months and years ahead.

Daily operations

A typical day for Morlando starts with a morning briefing with the scheduling team to discuss current and future events. He spends his days speaking to potential new customers, boosting current customer business, internal administration, and working hard to get the word out that food service staffing is the most critical part of any event.

Unique service model

These are the key factors that make Enjoy Your Party unique within its segment. The company focuses on providing quality service, with employees undergoing comprehensive background checks, interactive training programs, and competency tests before being placed on assignments.

Morlando emphasizes the importance of trust, empowerment, and open discussion in leadership and executive teams. He believes that these three simple rules are essential for both team and organization growth.

Franchise opportunities

The ideal Enjoy Your Party franchisee is someone with a background in the food service industry, including food service directors, maître d’s, and event planners. They should have knowledge of how an event should be executed, from proper staffing levels to correct serving styles and table set ups.

Enjoy Your Party’s franchise ownership opportunity will follow the same business model that has made the company successful over the past two decades. The goal is to open up one new location every fiscal quarter, providing extensive support to franchisees to make the most of the system.

With growth on the horizon, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the Enjoy Your Party brand. The company has never had a down year in sales, and temporary staffing services continue to rise even during economic downturns.
