Our Passion is Food!

At Bon Appetit Management Company, we are committed to two things: great food and outstanding service! You won't find our managers referring to a corporate recipe book or our chefs microwaving the lunch special. We do not have standardized recipes or central commissaries; instead, our chefs and managers are expected to stay abreast of current culinary trends and bring cutting-edge food into their cafes. We are a restaurant company that operates in contract food service. That means you will have the freedom to be creative, take risks, and truly shine. We are committed to our staff growing, trying new things, and learning all that they can. Our rapid growth and breadth of accounts translate into exciting opportunities for our people!
