Jimmy Bucks.
Our team strives to exemplify core values in our daily work. When a Footers employee is caught in an act of awesomeness, they are rewarded with a Jimmy Buck. The name is a testament to founder Jimmy Lambatos, who could always be found going the extra mile for a guest. Team members can exchange JimmyBucks for Footers gear, swag, gift cards, and more.
See how they have earned their Jimmy Buck's below!
Sammy T.
Date: May 9, 2019 · Event: Moss · Core Value: Innovation
Sam was a crucial part in the initial brainstorming and the design process. He is full of great ideas, has the ability to bring any vision to life, and is able to fix / change anything on the fly!
Nat T.
Date: April 17, 2019 · Event: After Hours Gardening · Core Value: Teamwork
Thanks for staying after work to help me (I mean do most of it when I had to step out) give the garden some TLC before planting begins!
Kari D.
Date: January 31, 2019 · Event: YP Catholic Charities · Core Value: Teamwork
Kari was so eager to help with just about everything during the YP dinner and I really appreciated her help throughout the night! She crushed glazing donuts while I left to help plate up. Thanks a bunch!
Cassie C.
Date: May 5, 2019 · Event: Glamping Gala · Core Value: Service
Cassie went out of her way to help a guest get a meal to take home to his wife since she was ill and couldn't make it to the event.
Tessa R.
Date: March 23, 2019 · Event: Training · Core Value: Teamwork
It was my first day training as a Steward on kitchen side. When I walked in Tessa took me under her wing immediately, and made me feel comfortable and confident in myself. Her tone and composure is very warm and inviting!
Stephanie Z.
Date: March 26, 2019 · Event: The Shop · Core Value: Innovation
When toying with the idea for a pastry poke station, Steph really pushed me with creative thought and together we came up with some really off the wall ideas. Thank you for the inspiration and not settling for my first ideas. I really appreciate it!
Heather C.
Date: March 4, 2019 · Event: Second Tasting for M+N · Core Value: Awesomeness
My client provided family heirloom recipes from Malaysia for Heather to create from which in and of itself is why Footers stands out. Then Colbert scheduled a second tasting with them to make sure these creations were authentic. Lastly, Heather literally KILLED IT! The client loved what she made and they are so so so excited for their wedding in a few weeks. Thank you!
DJ
Date: January 30, 2019 · Event: Warehouse · Core Value: Respect
DJ fixes EVERYTHING! He's tightened or replaced the screws on the wood cube risers more times than I can count. I've even found metal brackets holding together what were broken crates. Thank you for your time and care!

Shady 80's
-1 Jimmy Buck-
The 80's were electric, so we're bringing them back and re-living the glory days with these sweet shades. Assemble your air bands, bust out the big hair, and party like a rockstar for the affordable price of 1 Jimmy Buck! Your choice of several tasty neon flavors.

H2Oh Yeah
-1 Jimmy Buck-
Did you know you're about 65% water? Yep that's right, Wikipedia said so. Your body relies on good ol' water to provide essential functions to keep you alive and healthy (and at peak catering performance of course). What better way to stay hydrated than with this 24oz whistle wetter? It comes in teal, teal, or teal.


Mission: AWESOME-able
-2 Jimmy Bucks-
At only 2 Jimmy Bucks, you won't need to navigate a room full of lasers or suspend from two dinky wires to get your hands on this shirt. And the 50/50 Dry Blend material will wick every last bead of sweat! If you have no idea what we're talking about, you're a millennial and all you need to know is that this shirt proudly features our Mission Statement. The only thing impossible about this shirt is finding a size small enough to fit Tom Cruise.
It is available in teal for Front of the House, and grey for Back of the House. REMINDER: For those of you who may have both, you are expected to wear your Footers teal shirt to events so that we brand together (see what we did there) and can easily be identified by each other, clients, venues, and vendors!

Lose Your Cool
-3 Jimmy Bucks-
If water pipe puncturing temperatures make you frosty, lose your cool with this warm beanie. This head blanket is made of 100% material, and will stretch to fit any size or shape of noggin.

Breaker Breaker 1-9
-3 Jimmy Bucks-
Did I hear a nine-er in there? Yep! You don't have to be cool, to be cool with this Trucker Hat, because this breathable mesh melon mask will alleviate your suffocated scalp. And it's a snap-back so it'll adjust to any size ego...or mullet!

Preppin' Ain't Easy
-3 Jimmy Bucks-
The hairnet of the 21st century, this fine looking lid offers all the benefits of the old school hair preventing head mesh, while pulling it off in a much cleaner and classier way...the Footers way. Feel free to wear it for prep, or to look cool, but don't forget to trade it for your Chef Hat out at an event. Keep your prep hand strong!

Sexy is Back...Again
-4 Jimmy Bucks-
Now with less white, and more heather grey, you'll have an easier time keeping your dirty paw prints off this cool cranium cover! Join us and Justin Timberlake in the fight against male pattern baldness so that we can bring sexy back, and keep it here.
Sizes: S/M or L/XL


The Elliot
-6 Jimmy Bucks-
Back in 1982, the world celebrated Footers' first birthday with the release of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. But perhaps even greater than the movie, was the gift of the hoodie, made popular my Elliot. This laid back torso treat is great for those less than warm days, or when you need to bike a friendly alien back to his ship during the wee hours of the morning.

Hug Yourself
-6 Jimmy Bucks-
You've worked hard, put in long hours, and pleased many people, so go ahead and hug yourself...with this amazingly soft and furry fleece jacket. Made by China, approved by sheep.

Back, Pack, Bag it Up
-7 Jimmy Bucks-
Haul your stuff around in style! Your reusable grocery bag is for groceries, and doesn't need to pull double duty any longer as your go-to bag/purse/or fashion accessory. It's got 2 padded shoulder straps so gone are the days of cutting off your circulation the old fashioned way. Oh, and it's got a laptop pouch, water bottle holster, and plenty of room for snacks, pens/pencils, phone chargers, clothes, you name it. Congratulations, you're a human marsupial!

88MPH!
-8 Jimmy Bucks-
It's a weak Back to the Future reference, but if the original Members Only jacket of 1985 could travel through time to 2015, this would be the result. And at a screaming 88MPH, it blurs the lines between business and casual, making this soft shell storm shield a must have in your work wardrobe.

Spin-n-Win
-10 Jimmy Bucks-
Throw down 10 Jimmy Bucks and you are guaranteed to win big! It's a game of chance, and the prizes range from Swag Bags, to Custom Nike ID shoes, Indoor Skydiving, Mystery Tickets (to sporting events, concerts, etc), and seasonal gifts. All items are valued at a minimum of $50. Spin the wheel, cross your fingers, and get ready to celebrate!

Failure is Not an Option
-12 Jimmy Bucks-
Caterers are the Navy SEALS of the food industry. We will get dirty, we will get wet, but most importantly we will brave the elements no matter what to accomplish our mission. And we've got good news; our mission just got a lot more comfortable! When the conditions aren't great, this jacket is, and you will be happy you brought this work-proof warrior along for the ride. It's the toughest and most rugged jacket available to the Fork Knife Spoon Platoon.

Super Jacket
-16 Jimmy Bucks-
It's a fleece...it's a raincoat...it's SuperJacket! If you have enough Jimmy Bucks to buy this metaphorical cape, we know you must be a super hero, and have the perfect jacket for you. Sometimes the air conditioning is a little too brisk at your Daily Planet cubicle, and all you need is a lightweight fleece. Sometimes you're not near a phone booth when it's raining and need the power of water-repelling polyester. And sometimes you need both so you just zip 'em together. Don't let the weather be your Kryptonite, grab this 3-in-1 SuperJacket to save your day.
