Flawless Corporate Luncheons.
We Audit BEOs, Manage ezCater & Track Dietary Allergens.
High-level executive assistants, corporate chiefs of staff, and event directors should never spend 15 hours a week chasing RSVP non-responders, deciphering Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), verifying vegan/celiac dietary restrictions, and haggling over private dining room (PDR) minimum spends. SageDoer provides pre-vetted, expert Luncheon Coordination Virtual Assistants who handle the meticulous logistical heavy lifting: ezCater menu curation, Tripleseat venue contracts, RSVPify pipeline tracking, custom place card design in Canva, and day-of delivery buffer monitoring. Supervised by an experienced Event Operations Project Manager at $0 extra management fee, with rates starting from just $6/hr.

What Your Luncheon Coordination VA Handles Daily
Free your executive team and office managers from high-stress dining logistics. Your dedicated virtual assistant manages the entire luncheon lifecycle—from private room contracts to post-event expense reconciliation.
PDR Sourcing & Venue RFPs
Securing the perfect private dining room (PDR) or corporate venue that aligns with executive prestige, headcount, and acoustics.
- Sourcing top-tier private dining spaces via Tripleseat, OpenTable Private Dining, and curated local restaurant networks
- Auditing venue AV requirements: wireless microphones, high-lumen laser projectors, and presentation screen sightlines
- Verifying parking access, valet accommodations, ADA elevator accessibility, and soundproofing for confidential discussions
- Comparing multi-venue proposal matrices outlining food & beverage minimums, rental fees, and attrition policies
BEO Audits & Contract QA
Scrutinizing Banquet Event Orders to eliminate hidden surcharges, erroneous service fees, and unfair attrition penalties.
- Line-by-line review of Banquet Event Orders (BEO): course sequence, plating timelines, and beverage pouring protocols
- Auditing mandatory service charges, taxable administrative fees, local meal tax rates, and venue gratuity clauses
- Tracking contract deposit deadlines, final headcount guarantee lock dates (e.g., 72-hour notice), and cancellation clauses
- Flagging corkage and cake-cutting fees or negotiating complimentary coffee service and room rental waivers
Dietary & Allergen Matrix
Protecting executive guests by cataloging severe allergies, religious dietary standards, and lifestyle food preferences.
- Compiling a centralized dietary matrix: severe peanut/tree nut allergies, celiac disease, dairy intolerance, and shellfish restrictions
- Coordinating certified Kosher or Halal meal sourcing with specialized off-site caterers when required
- Liaising with the executive chef to ensure custom entrée alternatives match the quality and presentation of standard dishes
- Creating discreet dietary seating cards so banquet waitstaff seamlessly serve allergy-safe plates without guest embarrassment
RSVP & Executive Seating
Driving high attendance rates through structured guest outreach, calendar holds, and diplomatic table placement.
- Building RSVPify or Splash landing pages with dynamic custom questions (entrée choice, plus-one credentials, company title)
- Polite multi-touch chasing of pending VIP executive attendees via white-label email templates and executive assistant liaisons
- Designing strategic seating charts (Airtable / Social Tables) matching prospective clients with key enterprise partners
- Dispatching Outlook / Google Calendar event invites with address details, dress codes, and downloadable parking passes
ezCater & Delivery Logistics
Managing corporate in-office drop-off catering with strict 45-minute buffer windows, serving ware checks, and driver coordination.
- Curating executive lunch spreads via ezCater or premier local bakeries/delis with balanced proteins and hot chaffing dishes
- Enforcing a mandatory 30-to-45-minute delivery buffer ahead of executive lunch start times to eliminate awkward guest waiting
- Confirming driver contact info, building loading dock security protocols, and on-site facility access 24 hours prior
- Ordering comprehensive serving ware: tongs, serving spoons, compostable plates, heavy-duty cutlery, and beverage ice
Collateral, Badges & Expenses
Elevating event presentation with branded printed collateral while wrapping up post-event accounting and vendor disbursements.
- Designing custom branded menus, personalized tent cards, table number stands, and guest name tags in Canva
- Submitting collateral to local FedEx Office or print shops near the venue for same-day delivery or on-site pickup
- Auditing final restaurant folio/bills against quoted BEOs to catch erroneous bar tab charges or duplicate bottle corkage
- Uploading itemized receipts into Expensify, Ramp, or QuickBooks tagged to specific departmental cost centers
