ABOUT
Anthony Lambatos grew up in the catering business working for his father and founder of Footers Catering in Denver, Colorado. Anthony and his wife, April, purchased the business in 2010 and have successfully made the transition to a second-generation family business. With a focus on creating a great place to work, revenue has quadrupled since the purchase of the business, and they have been recognized nationally as a top caterer.
In 2021 they moved Footers Catering into a new facility that houses a 20,000 square foot event center called Social Capitol. The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce has twice named Footers Catering “Small Business of the Year” and they have been recognized as one of the best places to work in Colorado by the Denver Post, Denver Business Journal, and Colorado Biz Magazine. With innovative ideas like all-company vacations, robust leadership development programs, and non-traditional benefits like a dedicated cryotherapy chamber for employees, Footers Catering is on the cutting edge of culture and employee well-being.
As a sought-after speaker nationally within the hospitality industry, Anthony is passionate about helping businesses create a culture that allows their organizations and teams to thrive. He specializes in heart leadership and management of teams with a focus on operational structure and employee engagement.
Anthony and April also have a sister company called “MIBE” – MIBE is the acronym for “Make It Better Everyday” and the second part of the Footers’ mission statement. MIBE focuses on education around heart leadership and intentional culture building for the hospitality industry.
