Southern Way Catering, Pivoting a Business in April 2020

Southern Way Catering was founded in 1982 by Jimmy Stevenson. It began as a small company with deep Southern Roots, and in 2020, it a company that has grown to 200 employees, 70 of whom are full-time. Their core business is providing catering to events. At the end of March, all events in South Carolina were canceled because of the Coronavirus.  Last week, Southern Way announced a partnership with the Ready Response Meals platform to bring a new way of providing food to the essential workers that need to work to keep our communities safe and supplied with critical goods and services. We chatted via Zoom with Jesse Bullard about this new partnership and other ways that the company is adjusting its business during the pandemic.
