Who We Are

Get ready to raise your food standard to a whole new level of excellence!

Our Story

College Cuisine is a small boutique company born and bred in California – this simple fact reveals a lot more than just a location, it represents a state of mind and a wealth of benefits. Our beautiful and diverse state provides a consistent supply of fresh produce and artisan bakeries; it pioneered healthful cuisine and brought fitness and well-being to center stage amidst a sea of processed, packaged foods.

College Cuisine was founded in 2008, right here in Southern California. Our business model is rooted in the diversity that only one of the largest economies on the planet can offer. Mangoes in November? Sure! Strawberries in February? You got it. We don’t need or want to conquer the world, or even the country: we have everything we need to satisfy your appetite right at our fingertips.

Our company specializes in providing kitchen management services to Sororities and Fraternities, University Dining Halls, non-profit organizations, and public, private, and charter schools. We are able to provide high-quality, beautifully prepared, health-conscious food at a great price because of our expertise in implementing cost controls, routine quality checks and low overhead.

At College Cuisine we strive to continue meeting and exceeding the needs of our students, all while continuing to grow across more States and more Universities. College Cuisine presently manages kitchens across University campuses in California and Arizona, but our measured growth model is unique amongst our competitors and has been crucial to our success. Here at College Cuisine we are determined to to maintain our strong customer service and boutique feel no matter how large we become.

Our Mission

Here at College Cuisine, we want to provide your students with fresh, healthful fare to fuel their active bodies and minds. We want to take the hassles of kitchen management off your plate and place them in the hands of trained professionals. We want you to feel confident that the money you spend with us is used to its maximum potential. In a nutshell, our mission is to provide high quality, delicious food and first-rate, professional service, for about the same money as you are paying now.

Our Method

College Cuisine is not a national, big-brand sort of company. Just the opposite, in fact. We are a boutique company that finds real value in servicing our customers’ every need with Quality, Consistency and Professionalism! Our circle of operation allows us to staff knowledgeable, local reps for optimal customer service. We want to be right around the corner if there’s anything you need.

In addition, our chefs are not just ServSafe Certified professionals; if you’re talking food service, that’s a fairly low bar as far as we’re concerned. We endeavor to hire chefs who are passionate about not only food, but about life. The desire and commitment for balancing a healthy, active lifestyle with family and friends emboldens our chefs to create delicious, from-scratch dishes every week without getting burned out or resorting to the same, repeating menus. All of our clients have unique needs and we design every menu, meal program, and pricing structure to best fit your organization. Week-to-week, your personal chef will craft your menu and welcome suggestions from directors and diners alike, because a great chef realizes that they aren’t the only one who can have a food epiphany!

College Cuisine will help you provide the most effective cost controls and quality of service in order to increase the value of your food program. We handle all state compliance documentation and use precise accounting practices to keep track of every dollar spent. In short, our expertise in the field takes the burden of kitchen management off your hands and provides healthful, delicious fare to your students in return.

Our Promise

College Cuisine will consistently provide your students with a variety of fresh, nutritious, and flavorful food. Our chefs and professional kitchen staff will operate under the strictest standards of proper sanitation and always be open to requests and concerns, of both house members and administrators. And last, but not least, we will work to get you the best possible price, with easy billing and simplified contract terms. Quality, consistency, professionalism. That is our promise.

Our Team

At College Cuisine we believe exceptional customer service begins with an exceptional staff. And you won’t find a long list of corporate big wigs here because there aren’t any! Knowledgeable and personable local area managers are central to our business model; we pride ourselves in our unique system of streamlining overhead which allows us to pass the savings on to you.
