San Jose, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) July 30, 2009 -- Team San Jose continues its summer of exciting new developments for meeting and event planners - such as the partnership with Nederlander to offer thrilling concerts and Broadway San Jose - with the announcement of a new in-house food and beverage program.
"Now more than ever, it's important to provide more value for clients, and this includes saving them time and energy by continuing to raise the bar on our renowned 'one team for all event needs' service model," said Dan Fenton, CEO of Team San Jose, which operates the convention facilities, four theaters and the San Jose Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"By bringing our food and beverage service in-house, we can provide more seamless customer service and better quality. Led by our culinary expert Chef Lai, we can offer new customized menu options, one point of contact and flexible pricing options."
As with the previous food and beverage program, Chef Lai and his team will continue to offer organic and locally sourced ingredients, as well as green services such as composting and compostable silverware. The in-house team has a combined 100 years of food and beverage experience, allowing Team San Jose to strengthen its service and options for event and meeting planners, including expanded theater concessions.
"Our new partnership with Peet's Coffee & Tea, which started in the Bay area and is committed to sustainability, allows us to expand our green offerings," Fenton said. "Peet's opened a new store inside the Convention Center on July 27, 2009 for delegates who want a quick and delicious coffee or tea break."
