Owner & President

Erin Lis

Erin entered the catering and events arena in 2008 as an event producer at Added Touch Catering. Fifteen years later, she became the President and Owner of Added Touch Catering and a Kosher Touch. Hand-picked in 2019 to succeed Sandra & Clive as the future owners of the company, the Banks closely mentored Erin and her husband, Moshe, over the next 5 years, preparing them to lead the next generation of the company.

Erin's early life was colored by a family of immigrants and entrepreneurs, providing her a sense of culture and work ethic from a young age. She has B.F.A. in Interior Design from the University of Georgia (2007) and a J.D. from Georgia State University College of Law (2014). Her unique career path has given her the skill to deliver customized catered experiences for her clients, from large community events and lavish weddings, to intimate events in private homes. Erin's attention to detail ensures that every event is expertly handled & lives up to the company motto that “the difference between ordinary and the extraordinary is the Added Touch!”

Owner & Vice President

Moshe Lis

Born and raised in Israel, Moshe Lis brings energy, resourcefulness, and a global perspective to his role as Vice President of Operations at Added Touch Catering. A former paratrooper in the Israeli Defense Forces, he relocated to Atlanta at 23 and quickly became part of the city’s vibrant Jewish and Israeli community.

At Added Touch, Moshe is the behind-the-scenes yin to Erin’s client-facing yang — overseeing warehousing, logistics, equipment, and facilities. He leads with the classic Israeli sabra spirit: straightforward and resourceful under pressure, yet deeply loyal, warm, and supportive at his core. Known as much for his quick wit as for his steady presence, Moshe anchors the team while keeping spirits high with his good-natured humor. Together with Erin, he is proud to lead Added Touch — making sure the food is fantastic, the service feels authentic, and that everyone has a good time doing it.

Founders

Sandra & Clive Bank

In 1993, Sandra and Clive Bank founded Added Touch Catering from their Atlanta home with a vision of bringing restaurant-quality food and personalized service to special events. What began as a small, home-based operation quickly grew into one of Atlanta’s leading full-service catering companies.

Over the next three decades, Added Touch evolved into a 9,500-square-foot facility in Sandy Springs, complete with a commercial kitchen, pastry kitchen, cold rooms, warehouse, and offices. In 2012, the Banks expanded their reach by launching A Kosher Touch Catering, a full-service kosher branch under the supervision of the Atlanta Kashruth Commission. Located within the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta, A Kosher Touch added separate dairy and meat kitchens, the Fine & Dine Café, and a dedicated kosher office to the company’s portfolio.

Sandra and Clive’s passion and dedication shaped Added Touch into a cornerstone of Atlanta’s catering scene. On February 1, 2024, the Banks passed the torch to Erin and Moshe Lis, who are proud to carry forward the legacy of creativity, hospitality, and excellence that has defined the company since its founding.

How it all began

Founders

Sandra & Clive Bank

Sandra Bank, Founder of Added Touch Catering and A Kosher Touch, got her cooking start at a very young age. A native of South Africa, she found her culinary gift by cooking for her parent’s dinner parties. After many years as a chef for catering companies and restaurants, she decided to “break-out” and start her own catering empire, founding Added Touch in 1993. With inventive food selections and her dedication to perfection, a loyal following soon developed throughout the Atlanta area. Over many dedicated years working side-by-side, Sandra transposed her serious commitment to excellence and a true love for the culinary arts to the Added Touch team. So ingrained are her lessons in service and style, decisions are often made by simply saying "what would Sandra do?"

Our beloved Co-Founder Clive Bank has a Masters Degree in Architecture from South Africa. He takes care of the finances and accounting, and is the engine that motivates the Staff and keeps everyone running on task. Prior to being Vice President at Added Touch, he practiced as a Store Designer with his company named Retail Design Strategies. Clive is an avid lover of golf and has a growing collection of golf memorabilia. He loves Sandra, his children and grandchildren with all his heart.
