Corporate Caterers

Corporate Caterers Franchise - A Recipe for Success

Franchising Works
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 only. We’ve proven what works, and we’re offering you a franchise opportunity at the same success we’ve had. 

We have the business systems, software programs, food prep & kitchen manuals, employee & driver training, and marketing & promotional concepts ready for you to learn, implement and use.

How We Did It
The goals of Corporate Caterers started idealistic: low start-up costs, limited overhead costs, shorter business hours, good profit margins, loyal employees & happy clients. 

Founders Dennis McGinley and Jim Gass confess to having been exhausted by the daily pressures of trying to run large restaurants and catering facilities. The house rules they established for Corporate Caterers were straightforward: only breakfast and lunch catering, operations five days a week [weekends off], only business and corporate clientele only [no private parties, no nights], and a small, well-trained staff offering only off-premise office catering with good food, presentation and service.

With this well-defined methodology, our locations delivered over one million meals last year. 

Over 20 years and millions of people served, Corporate Caterers has achieved the goals, kept the rules we’ve set out for ourselves, and continues to grow profitably. And we have personal lives, weekends off, and a healthy business outlook for the future.

A Great Franchise Investment
We are a specialized catering business. 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.
