Kathleen Heffernan named event coordinator at Plate Catering

January 6, 2017

Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, recently announced the promotion of Kathleen Heffernan to the position of event coordinator at Plate Catering, a division of the hospitality group, which also owns nine beach-area restaurants in Delaware. A 10th restaurant, Bluecoast Seafood Grill and Raw Bar, is scheduled to open in June.

Heffernan, who graduated from the University of Delaware in 2016, attended Cape Henlopen High School. "We're lucky that Kathleen decided to return home after she graduated," Kammerer said. "Her knowledge of the resort area benefits our customers, who include coastal residents, second-home owners and visitors."

Plate Catering handles a variety of events, from in-home dinners to wedding receptions on the beach. In addition to the catering company, SoDel Concepts has a hospitality consulting and management divison which provides services to dining venues such as Bayside Resort Golf Club in Selbyville, Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club in Ocean View and Baywood Greens in Long Neck.

Heffernan, who has experience in the restaurant industry, began working for SoDel Concepts in summer 2014. She's worked at three of the company's restaurants. When she graduated from Delaware, she became the assistant manager of Matt's Fish Camp in Lewes.

"She's so even-tempered and works well under pressure," Kammerer said. "She was our first choice after Lisa Wheeler, Plate Catering's former event coordinator, moved to the corporate office to become the new human resources director."
