Sponsorship Opportunities 2025

what is mibe?

  • The acronym for Make It Better Every day.

  • Part of the Footers Catering mission statement, which is largely credited for its success.

  • A belief that small incremental improvements each and every day will yield results far beyond what we think is possible.

  • The vehicle for creating relationships with other companies and sharing with them the secret sauce that has made us successful.

We exist because we know what can be achieved with heart leadership and an awesome company culture. We are here to inspire leaders of small and mid-sized companies in the hospitality industry with these concepts so they can find joy and fulfillment in their work and in their lives.
