sometimes bigger isn't better

When Cosmopolitan Catering was launched at the end of the 2006, the field of service providers was made up of three multi-national companies and other large regional and nationwide companies. Their success, growth and size, in fact, were the cause of many clients' dissatisfaction. It was proven over and over again that large size created slow moving, slow reacting companies; they were becoming programmed bureaucracies.

Clients were not the only ones to notice; the team who together created Cosmopolitan Catering was made up of several senior managers who had worked for some of these same major providers. They felt that the status quo was not acceptable. This farsighted team would create a high-end, fast moving, pro-active, high-quality business and redefine the standards of the industry. The focus would be on offering restaurant quality food in the at-work environment. The company would be known for primarily for delicious food and service second-to-none.

what defines us

The team agreed easily on how to accomplish those goals: Hire chefs and other professionals who understood the meaning of service. Define food quality and service standards that would be, although demanding, seen as factors by which we separate ourselves from our competition. As a result our hiring process is incredibly competitive and our training is superior to any that currently exist in the industry.

our employees

Indeed, since the start, our employee training program has become the cornerstone of our company, advancing the skill level of each team member. We believe that investing in our employees makes us the leader in the industry. As we grow in size, we remember our roots and the bureaucracies from which each of us came; we continue to run a pro-active company with employees who are also dedicated to the philosophy of putting the satisfaction of our clients first.

where we are

Our team of employees stretches from Gilroy to Walnut Creek to San Francisco. Most wear the whites of food-service workers; others are catering delivery drivers, managers and office staff. Each employee is a treasured member of our special family, referring to ourselves as "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." It will be our pleasure to be of service to you.
