Are you the office manager at your corporation? Or, it might be that you have another very important title. No matter the title, are you in charge of planning the food at your corporation's next executive meeting?  You might be very comfortable with planning the meals for the next executive meeting. If so, you will more than likely rely on your past experiences. Or, it could be that this is the first time you've been given the responsibility of feeding those who will be attending the meeting.
