So many books have been written on perseverance and surviving difficult times with a singular common solution: don’t quit—keep moving! Face the issues and then improvise, adapt and overcome the obstacles with the resources in hand or find those resources. When the pandemic first started, Tasty Table Catering experienced over 80% of their clients disappearing overnight because their core clients uprooted 70% of their staff from corporate centers to permanently working at home.

Owner George McLoughlin realized the situation early in May 2020 and knew he had to keep moving. He implemented a business model change that would pivot Tasty Table from a catering operation into a community resource for fast, pre-made healthy meals and lunch. By February 1st, the retail market will be offering quick and nourishing breakfast options to go as well. With over 1500 square feet renovated from a catering warehouse to an open kitchen with retail food display cases and meals made to order, the transformation is in full swing with an anticipated Grand Re-Opening in mid-February 2021.  

Despite being forced to change and adapt to the new normal, McLoughlin is confident all of this is a blessing in disguise, and not just for himself. The opportunity of getting to know the neighbors of Berwyn better has been a benefit to this shift. Working with causes that help the community and doing what it can to bring awareness has been immensely satisfying. Tasty Table is a proud Main Line Neighbor.
