“The number of individual invoices/events that we been part of in December 2023 was the highest ever for that time period. It has increased by nearly 40% in that month alone. Without TPP I don’t think we would have been able to take advantage of the pent up event demand that followed COVID. I can provide more specific examples if you like.” Check out Devour Catering
