Georgia Smoke BBQ is known to be the most authentic BBQ catering company in Atlanta. They are also strongly inclined towards community support through annual non-profit fundraising cookouts. As of mid-2019, they’ve raised nearly $25,000 for FODAC: A non-profit committed to providing durable medical equipment at little or no cost to adults and children with injuries and disabilities.
HOW IT STARTED
Started by John R.Lenz and Sam Shober, Georgia Smoke BBQ operates to change preconceived notions of what succulent and smoked meat should taste like. They only work with the freshest ingredients and cook everything to order. Their BBQ offerings include roasted whole pigs, smoked pulled pork, certified Angus beef brisket, farm-raised smoked salmon, and Gainesville-fresh chicken.
Coupled with their love of wood fire and smoked meat, they have turned into a socially conscious entity that raises funds for several causes by organizing annual oyster roasts and crawfish boils.
Being a consistent contributor to their community, they never cut corners when it comes to quality. Georgia Smoke BBQ exists solely due to their love of wood fire smoked meat and a cause of making their community happy.

PLAN: Platinum Tier
“Yapsody had a good deal for nonprofits and I chose it. The system is easy to duplicate events and has good deals on nonprofit events. Their customer support is helpful, quick, and fast. The last thing I need to worry about during these events is ticketing; I trust Yapsody to do its part while I do mine.”
–John R. Lenz, Georgia Smoke BBQ
THEIR EXPERIENCE
Yapsody proved to be the perfect mix with features like Pricing for Non-Profits, 24/7 Customer Support, Event Setup Wizard, and Surveys. Being such a well-known caterer in Atlanta, Georgia Smoke BBQ exceeded expectations by staying indispensable in their quality of service through Yapsody’s ticketing service. And after it was all said and done, the community’s fundraising total for FODAC pushed past $25,000
