What a first build could look like in Waltham
Suppose a Waltham corporate catering and event rental company off Moody Street delivers executive lunches to Route One Twenty-Eight office parks and tents to suburban weekend receptions. We would build an online per-person menu and rental calculator, an AI receptionist to answer dietary and delivery-window questions, and a kitchen-to-van packing checklist that prevents missing chafing dishes.
