Common Questions About This Event and Catering Company Intranet
What is this Event and Catering Company Intranet built with?
This intranet is built entirely with out-of-the-box SharePoint web parts, including Countdown Timer, Events, News, Weather, Call to Action, and Sites. A custom theme and custom fonts give it a warm, hospitality look. There is no custom code and no third-party tools, just the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for event, catering, and hospitality companies.
What’s included on the Event and Catering Company Intranet?
The homepage includes a hero banner, crew tool tiles, a What We Do list of service lines, a peak weekend countdown, Upcoming Events, and Company News. Below that are Event Day Conditions weather, Season by the Numbers charts, an Incident Reporting call to action, an Our Work photo gallery, Team Sites for each department, and an Our Team section featuring company leadership and kitchen leads.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Every element on this page is a standard SharePoint web part or setting. That matters because out-of-the-box designs are stable, secure, and easy to maintain – nothing breaks when Microsoft updates SharePoint, and there is no developer or plug-in to depend on. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds intranets, so the company owns a site its own staff can keep up to date.
Can this design be customized for our catering or event company?
Absolutely. The service lines, crew tools, team sites, chart data, weather locations, countdown target, and leadership profiles are all tailored to each organization. Greg adapts the layout to the way a company actually runs events – banquet event orders, kitchen standards, fleet checkout, allergen procedures, and staffing – so the homepage reflects real daily work instead of a generic template.
Will this intranet work on mobile devices?
Yes. Every web part on this page is responsive, so the layout adapts automatically to phones and tablets in the browser and in the SharePoint mobile app. That suits catering and event crews, who spend most of their shift in kitchens, trucks, and venues rather than at a desk, and need to check shifts, event orders, and weather on the go.
Can Greg build this intranet for our company?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for event, catering, and hospitality companies, from site structure and navigation to the homepage layout and branding.
