Food that is still right when the meeting runs long.
Corporate catering is about the room getting fed on time and getting back to work. Menus are built to travel well and hold, so a training day, a staff meeting or a client lunch gets the same plate at the end of the line as at the start. Taco bars and loaded potato bars are regulars for staff meetings, and full hot buffets with chafing service handle open houses and receptions.
Where a buffet line does not fit the room or the schedule, individually boxed meals do. They work for conferences, job sites and anywhere people eat at their desks.
Pick up from us, have it delivered to your office, or have someone from the team on site to serve. Every request gets a reply within three to five business days, and if the date is close, call and we will tell you straight whether we can do it well.
Hot line and boxed catering from real Akron jobs.
See more from real eventsAkron works in hospitals, labs and towers. We deliver to all three.
Akron’s biggest employers are not factories anymore. Summa Health is the largest at about 8,600 people, and its Akron campus at 525 E Market Street is a block from our kitchen. The University of Akron, Akron Children’s and FirstEnergy each run past 5,000. Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Akron Public Schools, Summit County, Goodyear and Signet round out the top ten. Those are the lunchrooms, training suites and boardrooms we feed.
Downtown offices along South Main and the Goodyear campus on Innovation Way are a ten minute run. Signet on Ghent Road, the Route 18 corridor through Fairlawn and Montrose, and the business parks off Route 8 in Cuyahoga Falls, Stow and Hudson are all inside the normal delivery ring. Tell us the loading dock, the floor and the start time and the food is set before the first person walks in.
Recurring orders are welcome. Standing weekly lunches, monthly all hands and quarterly client days get a menu rotation so nobody sees the same tray twice.

This place offers ALL of your catering needs. I don't believe there is anything she can't provide for you. I have had SO many meals and attended SO many events. The Taste of the City (Akron) she provided so many great "samples". An outdoor hibachi grill party with all the trimmings, steak, shrimp, chicken, rice, fresh vegetables also one of my favorites. The taco bar and loaded potatoes are great for staff meetings. The seafood is always top quality, the largest shrimp! The desserts made from scratch are amazing. Cakes, cheesecakes, individual desserts, it doesn't end. Give them a try! Best prices around with professional service.

Before you book.
Can you deliver to a hospital campus or a secured office building?
Yes. Hospital campuses and secured buildings are a normal part of the Akron workday. Give us the dock or entrance, a contact on the floor and the badge or check in process, and we build the extra minutes into the schedule.
Do you offer a standing weekly or monthly order for our office?
Yes. Tell us the day, the headcount and the budget per person and we set a rotating menu so the team does not see the same lunch twice. Tell us headcount changes as early as you can.
Can one order cover people with different dietary needs?
Yes. Boxed meals can be mixed across sandwich, salad and hot boxes, and each box is labeled. For buffets, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and allergen aware dishes are set apart and marked on the line.
How much lead time does a corporate lunch need?
Two weeks is comfortable and lets us plan the menu around your room. Shorter notice is sometimes possible, so call 330.573.2738 for anything inside a week and we will tell you straight.
Two ways to start.
