| HERE'S THE BIG IDEA: The goals of Corporate Caterers started idealistic: low start-up cost, limited overhead costs, shorter business hours, good profit margins, loyal employees and 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 straight forward: only breakfast and lunch catering five days a week—weekends off; only business and corporate clientele—no private parties, no nights; and a small, well-trained staff offering only off-premise catering with good food, presentation and service. The proof was in the pudding… Over eleven years and millions of dollars in sales later, Corporate Caterers has achieved the goals, kept the rules they set out for themselves, and they continue to grow profitably. And they have personal lives, weekends off, and a healthy business outlook for the future. We're ready when you are...and thanks for your interest. Back to Top |
OUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS: 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, we’ve proven what we can do, and we’re offering you a franchise to do the same things we do. Franchising works.We 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. A franchise has a better chance for success than an independent business: “According to one study from the US Department of Commerce, over the same ten year period, 80% of independent businesses will fail, while about 90% of franchised businesses will still be in business. And according to the US Small Business Administration (SBA), franchises have the lowest default ratio (about 2%) of all types of SBA guaranteed small business loans.”

IT'S YOUR CHOICE... 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. We 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.
