The COVID-19 crisis has impacted businesses around the world and has required many of us to adapt quickly to a changing time. Throughout this time, Cater2.me has remained open for business with new offerings and protocols to keep our clients, vendor partners, and employees safe.
Your safety is our highest priority. While we have always adhered to the highest health and safety standards, we have implemented enhanced measures to reduce safety risks.
Your Health & Safety
Cater2.me was built around the idea of fostering community and collaboartive corporate culture. Even in the midst of a challenging environment, we remain undeterred from that mission and continue to believe in our mission to use food as a means for good.
Our Commitment to Building Community
Through our Vendor Assistance & Community Assistance Program, we've partnered with clients to raise more than $25,000, serving more than 2,000 meals to community organizations across the country. Read more about our partnerships in Austin and Atlanta.
In partnership with Chase and Madison Square Garden Entertainment, we've facilitated hundreds of meals for frontline workers in New York City through the #HomeTeamHeroes campaign.
We have developed new technology and custom solutions to create new catering opportunities for our vendors. We have also waived vendor commissions for client orders being donated to community organizations to increase the financial impact for our restaurant partners.
What Does Tomorrow Look Like?
While the workplace will certainly look different in the future, we are committed to the principles that have helped us create successful catering programs for our clients over the past decade: flexibility and meeting our clients where they are.
We’ve been hard at work building out a suite of new offerings and developing new technology to help keep your team engaged, healthy, and well fed.
Our Vendors

Our Catering Coordinators
All onsite catering coordinators are required to go through retraining of new safety procedures, including enhanced hand washing standards, new guidelines for use of equipment and sanitation, and more frequent replacement of food safety equipment and chef coats.
