Corporate Caterers is a business-to-business (B2B) catering franchise. It’s a food business that comes without the typical challenges of a food franchise: location-dependent, high rent, 18 hour days, open 7 days, 2-3 shifts, and high payroll with high turnover.
We are not retail or location-dependent, which means lower rent, we are about a 10 hour/day work schedule (typical 6 am to 4 pm), mostly Monday through Friday, owners are home in the evenings and weekends, 5 employees to start, and because of the low stress and active work flow, we have a very low employee turnover rate.
Corporate Caterers ‘signature service’ is the fact that we don’t just drop off the lunch and leave; we deliver, setup, and most importantly, come back after the catered meeting and clean-up, making the catered event as seamless and effortless for the customer. It is no wonder Corporate Caterers has a historical customer retention rate averaging between 80% to 90%.
And, our food choices are fabulous, the likes of; Glazed Rosemary Chicken with Portabella Mushrooms, Four Cheese Vegetable Lasagna, or try our tender Beef Pot Roast. These choices you won’t find in a box lunch.
