The Wurtzes' new catering company logo

Thanks to a lack of technology, Mary Wurtz was putting her friends' noses out of joint when she didn't have a way to keep her catering prices consistent.  She and her husband Joe had been running a home catering business, The Latest Dish, but, with the lack of technology to keep things organized, they would end up quoting different prices to different friends.  In the meantime, they were worried that their children weren't getting a sound basis in computer instruction at school or at home, where their machine was so out of whack that they would have to email papers to the neighbor to print out.  

The Wurtzes received a makeover that turned their cottage catering industry into a big-time player, not only with a scanner that lets them stay on top of inventory, but special catering software that keeps track of clients and jobs.  And the kids were thrilled about their new computer, which they took to so quickly and easily that it wasn't long before they were teaching their parents how to use it.  Finally, the Wurtzes' basement was redone with a large flat screen television powered by FiOS as well as Guru Lloyd's Superfan technology, which senses when the home team scores and sets off lights and sirens as the crowd goes wild.
