We are the 4th largest Company serving the corporate dining segment of our industry and have the 20th largest Employee Stock Ownership Plan in the United States, across all industries.
The entrepreneurial spirit that exists throughout all levels of the Guckenheimer organization combined with our passion for culinary excellence has been the catalyst that has established our reputation in the restaurant industry. Our size, agility and responsiveness to our clients and customers has fueled our expansion throughout the United States. We strive to achieve operating excellence, one meal at a time.
As an “Employee-Owned” Company, pride of ownership has translated directly to each and every member of the Guckenheimer “Family.” The reward and recognition programs and philosophies place a spotlight on each and every person that is a part of our staff. The 3300+ professionals that make up our “family” all know just what “pride of ownership” really means. Our staff knows that they are, directly, part of the success of the Company.
We teach our staff the importance of customer satisfaction and we provide the knowledge and tools required to achieve the highest standards in food quality, customer service, efficiency, cost control and protecting the environment. The manageable size of our Company allows us to focus on the special needs of our clients.
We customize each of our food and service programs to meet the financial and operational objectives of each and every client we serve. For the past decade, we have maintained a 95% retention rate of our clients.
