Catering to Caterers

Greg Kopriva remembers his first customer 20 years ago, a catering company with a uniquely Florida name: Pelicatessen.

Kopriva and his father, George, had moved to Naples and together they wrote a software program to help the owners of Pelicatessen better manage their company. “I could manage a Lotus spreadsheet like nobody's business,” Kopriva laughs at the memory of the antique software.

But George Kopriva thought they were onto something after they landed their second customer, the well-known Naples culinary institution called Wynn's Market. Why not write software for other caterers to manage their business?
