Why Corporate Buyers Choose Us

The difference is in who you work with

Not a catering company with a website. A founder who picks up the phone, oversees every event, and makes you look exceptional.

Lena responds personally, usually within 15 minutes

Not a team. Not a bot. Every inquiry goes directly to Lena. When you hear from High Touch, you are hearing from the founder — and she already knows what to ask.

We handle dietary complexity as standard

Vegan, GF, DF, nut-free, halal labeling built into every service — not as an afterthought. We ask for dietary counts ahead of time and build separation into the service flow.

We know SF corporate venues cold

FiDi, SoMa, Mission Bay, the Peninsula — High Touch works in every type of SF office venue, from kitchenless floors to full-service conference suites. We know the load-in rules, the constraints, and how to make it work.

AI takes care of the details. Lena takes care of you.

We use AI for event planning, timelines, and coordination so we can move faster. But Lena makes every decision personally and signs off on every proposal. Fastest proposal in SF — with a human at every step.

★★★★★
“I’ve worked with Lena for 2.5 years across multiple events for different clients, and I keep coming back to her for a reason. What sets Lena apart isn’t just her execution, it’s her instinct for what a production actually needs — including things you didn’t know to ask for. Seven hours into a long event, she’ll appear with a plate of food and a knowing smile. When a venue had no prep kitchen, she made it work out of a laundry closet. When a hot day caught us without enough water to drink, she had canned beverages in people’s hands before I’d even finished flagging the problem. She finds the way, every time. I’ve recommended Lena to others in my field without hesitation, and every single one of them has come back grateful.”
