ABC, LLC is a restaurant and party planner. The LLC has 20 members and has elected to be manager-managed by five individuals. Abby is one of the members who manages. She asks her group of managers to design and host a party for a client. Abby had one manager who is not a member (Bob) oversee the food preparation and another manager who is also not a member (Carol) oversee everything else. Both Bob and Carol had three employees help with the project. At the party, everyone gets sick because of bacteria developed in food that Bob left unrefrigerated overnight.
