One vetted vendor

Chef-led halal food, with the paperwork handled

The organizations that serve LA don't want a caterer per program — they want one vendor who clears procurement, feeds every diet, and delivers at scale. That's what we're built for.

  • Approved LA County DMH vendor

    An approved food vendor for the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health — the kind of vetting most caterers never pass, and the backbone of how we serve institutions.

  • Halal by default

    Every menu is sourced from certified halal suppliers, documentation on request — the standard across the whole program, never an add-on. Culturally responsive food for the communities you serve.

  • PO / Net-30 / tax-exempt

    Purchase orders accepted, Net-30 terms for established accounts, tax-exempt handling, and per-head itemized invoicing built for procurement and accounts payable.

  • HACCP-aligned food safety

    HACCP-aligned preparation, cold-chain handling, per-dish content and allergen labeling, and insurance with COIs on request — built for the audit, not just the order.

What we do

Food service for how institutions actually buy

From a single training-day drop-off to a daily meal program across sites — the same chef-led kitchen, sized to your headcount and calendar.

Meetings & training catering

Individually boxed meals or platters for agency meetings, trainings, and staff days — delivered, PO-friendly, one itemized invoice.

Recurring & daily meal programs

Boxed meals at scale for participant and client feeding — per-head invoicing, PO / Net-30, delivered daily on a fixed calendar.

Field & outreach kits

Shelf-stable, individually packaged halal meals for mobile teams, shelters, and field programs — delivered to your sites.

Coffee, beverage & supplies

Coffee, tea and cold-beverage service plus the full disposables line — cups, plates, cutlery, napkins — one vendor for the room.

Appreciation & milestones

Halal buffets, premium boxes, cakes and platters for staff appreciation, all-hands, and client graduation & milestone events.

Culturally-responsive & halal

Halal by default — Middle Eastern, Mexican, South Asian, East African menus and Ramadan iftar for the communities you serve.

Client program

Dietary-labeled halal meals for the people your programs serve — clinic clients, recovery & reentry, family & youth. Standing schedules for residential programs.

Office pantry & breakroom

A standing program that keeps the breakroom stocked — coffee & beverage service by Carthage, pantry, fruit & groceries coordinated. One PO, priced by quote.
