Preparation for Holidays Starts Now!
The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for foodservice operators. Between catering requests, private parties, and the regular rush of guests, it can feel like your kitchen is being pulled in every direction at once.
And while the holidays should be a season of opportunity, they can also become overwhelming if your team is buried in prep work or struggling to keep consistency on every plate.
That’s why preparation starts now—long before the first catering order arrives.
At Marisa Foods, we’ve partnered with chefs and kitchens for over 75 years, and here’s what we’ve learned: the right products make the difference between a stressful holiday season and a successful one.
Why Plan Ahead?
When holiday orders start stacking up, your kitchen needs:
Speed – to move dishes out the door quickly.
Consistency – so every tray tastes exactly the same, no matter who’s cooking.
Reliability – knowing your ingredients will arrive on time, every time.
Trying to tackle all of this with scratch-prep alone often leads to extra labor costs, exhausted staff, and mistakes that cost you money. That’s where we come in.
How Marisa Foods Helps You Beat the Rush
Less Prep
Our ready-to-use products—like fully cooked meatballs, sausages, sauces, and deli items—save you hours in the back of house. That’s time your team can spend plating, catering, and serving customers instead of chopping, mixing, and rolling.
Less Labor
Holiday labor costs add up fast. With Marisa, you don’t have to over-staff just to keep up with prep work. Our products help lean teams handle heavy workloads without sacrificing quality.
Less Stress
Because you’re not just ordering food—you’re ordering peace of mind. When the rush hits, you’ll know every product has been made with the same consistency and care for decades.
Ideas for Your Holiday Menu
Marisa Foods products give you the flexibility to handle a wide range of catering and dine-in needs. Popular holiday uses include:
Meatballs – perfect for pasta trays, skewers, or hors d’oeuvres with a festive sauce.
Sausages – grill, slice, or skewer for hearty catering platters.
Cheese & Deli Trays – easy, elegant appetizers that always impress.
Lasagna & Pasta Dishes – comfort food classics that feed a crowd.
With products designed to save time and guarantee flavor, you can focus on creating memorable dining experiences while we handle the consistency behind the scenes.
Don’t Wait Until December
The holidays will bring chaos—it’s inevitable. But that chaos doesn’t have to hit your kitchen. By planning now and partnering with Marisa Foods, you’ll have the tools, products, and support to make the season smoother and more profitable.
