Today we’d like to introduce you to Alain Lemaire.
Alain, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Back in 2012, both myself and my business partner, after working for over 14 years in the corporate foodservice world decided it was time to venture on our own. The twist was that we didn’t know each other until we were both invited to a food festival in Haiti.
Once we met, we realized that shared the same passion: great quality food and service, elegance in decor and setting. It was at that point that Sensory Delights was born: our main goal is to enlighten all of your senses from the food to the service.
Has it been a smooth road?
As anything in life, the road is never easy. Nothing great comes at a cheap price. We have had our shares of obstacles and struggles, some are physical and some are mental.
As far as the physical aspect, we can name dealing with a broken stove in the middle of a wedding reception or coping with the rain during a beach wedding. As far the mental aspect, I would say coping with down time, making ends meet and overcoming the hump in the business. Both physical and mental obstacles can either make or break you.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Sensory Delights is a catering company that services the entire South of Florida ND.
What sets us apart from others is the fact that we are a boutique style catering company.
Yes we do have standardized menus and packages, but what we really pride ourselves in is creating and customizing menus/packages that will fit the exact needs of our clients.
We are well-known for our style of cuisine which can be described as world cuisine with a modern Caribbean twist: incorporating Caribbean flavors into other cuisines and taking Caribbean traditional dishes to the next level.
As a company we are very proud of the quality of service and food that we provide to all of our clients; some of the accomplishments we’ve made throughout the years such as being named for two consecutive years, “Weddingwire Couple’s Choice.”
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I don’t think there is a best city to start off from because each market has its own needs.
It depends on how you analyze your targeted market and find out what you can bring.
Though a challenging and never sleeping are, one thing I can say is that South Florida is booming and it is a destination spot for parties, weddings etc… You will eventually find competition but once you find your identity, there is no limit.
