The best-run businesses have one thing in common: extraordinary administrative professionals. They’re the ones who remember the little things, anticipate the big ones, and keep the rest of us on track. This week, we’re celebrating them for the impact they make every day.
A Note From Alissa
To the amazing admins on our team and in the community,
As owner of Gourmondo, this week gives me the perfect excuse to say what should be said more often: thank you. To those of you on our own team, and among our valued business partners, we are profoundly grateful.
To our internal admin team: you are truly the heartbeat of Gourmondo. While our chefs create delicious works of art and our service staff deliver exceptional experiences, it’s you who keep it all running smoothly behind the scenes.
You bring order to chaos, manage impossible schedules, solve problems before they surface, and make sure every client feels heard and valued.
Your sharp eye for detail, steady patience, and uncanny ability to anticipate what’s needed don’t just support our business, they define it. You lead with care, build strong relationships, represent our brand with pride, and form the foundation that keeps Gourmondo growing.
To the admins we work with across the Seattle business community: first, we thank you for your trust in us helping with your important events and everyday needs. Second, we see you.
We see how hard you work - we understand that when you send in an order, you're often juggling dozens of other responsibilities. You’re coordinating with teams, planning events, supporting leadership, and somehow managing to stay kind through it all. We’re honored to be part of your toolkit for success!
On Admin Week, we acknowledge the truth every company owner knows: administrative professionals are the invisible force that powers business success. You transform visions into realities, often with little recognition.
This week, we celebrate you with a renewed commitment to being the kind of partner that makes your job easier, not more complicated. We pledge to continue listening, adapting, and serving you with the same care and attention you give to others every day.
Thank you for everything you do. Your work matters. YOU matter.
With deepest appreciation,
Alissa Leinonen
Founder/CEO, Gourmondo Co
The Gourmondo Admin Team

A Sweet Way to Say Thanks
Admin week is a time when companies show their appreciation for their admin staff. Each year, we send out boxed lunches and catering to those showing their teams their well-earned appreciation.
In 2025, we’re featuring a limited-edition Admin Week Gift Box, available to add to any Gourmondo order throughout the month of April! Inside, you’ll find:
Two GoGo Cakes
Two flower-decorated sugar cookies
A party popper and crown
From Our Team to Yours
When things go right, it’s often because of the people behind the scenes making it all look easy. To every admin out there making teams stronger and days smoother: thank you. We feel lucky to be part of a community that celebrates the work you do.
