    About Corporate Caterers

    Corporate Caterers is part of the multi-billion dollar catering segment within the foodservice industry. Yet we service a more defined segment within catering - weekday breakfast and lunch catering for commercial and professional clients. Now that we've proven what we can do, we're offering you a franchise to do the same things. Franchising works. Corporate Caterers have the business systems, software programs, food prep & kitchen operations, employee & driver training, and marketing & promotional concepts ready for you to learn, implement and use. We are a specialized catering business. We don't usually promote ourselves in the general public media because we're a "B2B" (business to business) model. However, in the business world, we want you to make a strong impact in your local market. We have the tools to help you promote your services to targeted clientele, from direct mail to referral programs, from personal presentations to catered functions. Corporate Caterers will help you design a customized marketing and promotions campaign for your area before you begin, and help you implement and monitor your programs as you progress in your own Corporate Caterers franchise.
