Of course! Not only do we do them but we do them extremely well. Whether you are looking for something eccentric and budget is not an issue or something that is simple, inexpensive, yet still delicious, we have options that we can present to you. We have a Special Events coordinator on staff to help with such functions.

Yes!  We work with each chapter's situation individually and are very flexible, as long as we know in advance. We offer a fixed rate for lunch and dinner skips that can be put towards Special Events or Special Dinners. This does have to be the entire chapter skipping the meal, not just a few members. Our Special Events coordinator would be happy to answer any questions or discuss your options.  Send an email to SpecialEvents@collegechefs.com with your chapter's name and your campus in the subject line.

College Chefs guarantees service. We assign all of our houses a Regional Director, Regional Executive Chef, and Account Manager as well as Swing Chefs to handle such issues. Worst case, we can always cater in food.

Most of our contracts are a one year contract or more.  At the same time, we are very flexible and will work with the chapter to make the appropriate changes/decision.

Never.  All of our employees are W2 employees.  While other companies have and still do 1099 employees, we have not nor ever will. This is a huge liability to the chapter and the meal service provider.

We are always actively searching for qualified, classically trained chefs, who have either graduated from culinary school or have been an apprentice to a classical trained Chef. We have multiple partnerships that allow us to have a very broad reach.  

Yes we conduct our own duediligence on everyone we hire including reference checks. We also outsource to a background check service called Private Eyes.

Communication is key.  As long as we know about it, we can coach that chef up, or find a better-fit chef for your Chapter if necessary.  Each Chapter has an assigned Regional Director, Regional Executive Chef, Account Manager, and assign students College Chefs Ambassador to make sure the service is superior.

We would love to have your HCB and Student Exec board come over to one of our chapters to try out a meal or two. We encourage it! Reach out to your Account Manager to schedule this.

We do not bill the students directly. We are typically paid by either the Housing Corp Board or the chapter itself.  We also encourage the HCB to create a nest egg and charge a bit more than we do in situations where dishes go missing or equipment breaks(very typical in our industry)

Yes we do.  We offer Lunch/Dinner only plans, as well as a certain amount of meals per week that is prorated based off the primary meal plan rate.
