We are foodies at heart, dedicated to crafting memorable experiences that both nourish the body and feed connection. As we charge ahead on a refreshed approach, we’re excited to share our renewed commitment to our mission, values and the future we envision for our partners.

Obsessed with Food

In today’s fast-paced world, the workplace is more than just a space for productivity — it’s a community where people connect, collaborate and thrive. We recognize the importance of casual collisions, whether it’s an afternoon visit to your favorite coffee bar, or a shared moment over fresh, hand-picked fruit from a local farm while you fill up your water in the breakroom. Food is the common denominator that brings people together, fostering connections that inspire creativity and innovation.

At Guckenheimer, we’ve always been aware of the evolving needs of our clients. From our humble sandwich stand beginnings to hundreds of global locations at present, we’ve seen firsthand how the workplace is transforming. Our client-centric approach ensures that we’re not just meeting expectations but exceeding them through trusted partnership. We’re passionate about our craft, and we’re equally passionate about understanding what matters most to you. We aren’t just making assumptions, we listen and anticipate by making data-driven decisions to bring tailored solutions that are fit for purpose, giving you a balanced, competitive and more productive workforce.

Community, Responsibility and Whole-Person Health

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the kitchen. Everything we do is grounded in our core beliefs. We prioritize the health and well-being of your employees, fostering a sense of community through shared experiences. We also pay close attention to the spaces in which we operate, creating environments that not only encourage collaboration and innovation, but also foster sustainability.

We’re proud to spearhead initiatives that promote environmental responsibility, and through our delicious menus and culinary techniques, we’re constantly exploring new ways to reduce our impact on the planet. We have ambitious commitments and strive to have impactful partnerships. But sustainability isn’t just about the environment — it’s also about social impact. By supporting local communities and engaging in responsible sourcing, we’re making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve and the communities around them.

Innovation Meets Expertise

We know innovation is not a destination but a journey. In this ever-evolving industry, there’s always more to learn, and we’re committed to empowering our teams to be creative, push boundaries and set new trends. We combine our passion and deep knowledge with a forward-thinking mindset, using insights to make informed decisions that benefit our clients.

By engaging with agencies and conducting extensive market research, we’ve identified key themes that resonate with today’s workforce. Employees want to feel valued, to know that their employers care about their well-being, and to experience moments that make the daily commute worthwhile.
