Meet Our New Catering Coordinator: Alexis Gatz

At Verdant Bistro, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our guests and continue growing our catering and private event services. Today, we’re excited to officially introduce Alexis Gatz as our new Catering Coordinator.

Alexis is originally from Colby, Kansas, and is currently pursuing a degree in Psychology at Fort Hays State University. Before moving to Hays for school, she worked at Welcome Home Café in Colby, where she developed a passion for hospitality and guest service.

Many of our guests may already recognize Alexis. She has been an important member of our team, working at both Gutierrez Mexican Restaurant and Verdant Bistro as a server and catering attendant. Throughout her time with us, she has consistently demonstrated exceptional organization, professionalism, and a genuine desire to create memorable experiences for every guest she serves.

As our Catering Coordinator, Alexis will become your primary point of contact for all catering and event-related needs. Whether you’re planning a business luncheon, wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, family celebration, nonprofit fundraiser, or private gathering, Alexis will guide you through every step of the process.

Her responsibilities include:

* Coordinating all on-site and off-site catering events
* Assisting clients with menu planning and event logistics
* Managing reservations and events in our Heritage Room
* Coordinating event timelines and service teams
* Serving as the direct contact for all catering questions and special requests
* Introducing and helping clients navigate our newly expanded catering menu

With the continued growth of our catering program, we’re excited to launch our new catering menu, offering even more options for businesses, organizations, weddings, and special events throughout Northwest Kansas.

As many of you know, Marissa has recently stepped away from her day-to-day role at the restaurant to spend time caring for our growing family and our new son. While she’ll always remain an important part of the Verdant family, we’re excited to have Alexis step into this role and continue providing the same level of personal attention and hospitality our clients have come to expect.

We have complete confidence in Alexis’s ability to lead our catering department with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for every event. Her familiarity with our restaurants, commitment to our guests, and passion for hospitality make her a natural fit for this position.

If you’re planning an upcoming event, we’d love the opportunity to serve you. Alexis is ready to help you create an experience that is seamless, memorable, and tailored to your needs.

Welcome to your new role Alexis! We’re excited for what’s ahead!
