Smack Shack Debuts Virtual Holiday Party Packs

Via an October 20 e-announcement:

Smack Shack’s Virtual Party Packs Bring Corporate Holiday Parties Online with Meal Kits to Prepare at Home and a LIVE Online Cooking Class

With the holiday season approaching and COVID-19 canceling large gatherings, many companies are looking for an alternative. As with most things in 2020, virtual events are now the new normal and Smack Shack has developed a new virtual holiday party program designed for online events. Smack Shack’s Virtual Holiday Party Packs are available at a variety of price points with a selection of menu options.

“While the restaurant was closed earlier this year, we started offering a variety of online cooking classes,” said Josh Thoma, Owner and Chef at Smack Shack. “Since the classes were such a success, we decided to take that model and expand upon it to create our Virtual Holiday Party Packs.”

Designed for groups of thirty or more, each kit includes all the required ingredients to prepare a three-course meal. Completed kits are delivered directly to the client in a refrigerated truck where employees can pick them up in a socially distanced atmosphere. Once back at home, employees can follow along online as Smack Shack hosts a LIVE privately streamed cooking class led by Thoma teaching viewers how to cook their meal, allowing for questions and interaction with co-workers and Thoma.

“We’re excited to bring a little bit of Smack Shack to folks this holiday season,” said Thoma. “While we’ll miss having the fun gatherings in the restaurant, we’re excited to bring the fun online and give our guests a truly unique experience.”

For more information on Virtual Holiday Party Packs or to book your own Virtual Holiday Party with Smack Shack, email info@smack-shack.com.
