Corporate Caterers is a B2B catering franchise designed to eliminate the stress and complexity of traditional food service businesses. Unlike typical restaurant franchises, we are not dependent on high-traffic retail locations, long hours, or multiple daily shifts. Our model focuses on simplicity, efficiency, and work-life balance — with operations typically running Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Owners are home evenings and weekends, with just 5 employees needed to start.
Our signature white-glove service goes beyond delivery. We set up, return to clean up, and ensure meetings are effortless for our clients. This full-service approach drives exceptional customer loyalty, with historical retention rates between 80% and 90%.
We serve high-quality, chef-inspired meals like Glazed Rosemary Chicken with Portabella Mushrooms, Four Cheese Vegetable Lasagna, and tender Beef Pot Roast — a significant upgrade from your average box lunch.
With a total investment between $149,000 and $227,800 — including a $49,500 franchise fee and $50,000 in working capital — Corporate Caterers is a compelling opportunity to build a scalable, lifestyle-friendly catering business.

6:00am
A typical kitchen operation starts around six o’clock. You’ll want to get a head start on baking, cooking and prepping the daily breakfast and lunch deliveries.
8:00am
The office opens. Orders will come in by phone or online. Using best-in-class software, you’ll create production lists, and manage invoicing and payments.
10:00am
Your delivery vehicles will head out. Drivers will deliver, set up and then clean-up the day’s orders.
3:00pm
Drivers return.
4:00pm
Drivers have finished and cleaned up.
Leave work. Through the miracle of modern technology, you can still be open and take incoming orders, even process them, while you’re away from the office or at home.
You’ll only have one shift of employees to manage each day. Our highly structured system will allow you to work on bigger picture issues concerning your business—rather than being trapped inside it. With our proprietary tools and resources, you’ll require only minimum effort to oversee a small workforce responsible for daily tasks and routine responsibilities.
We’ve developed a proven system. Now going on over twenty years, we’d like to share our processes and all that we’ve learned to assure your own success.
