September 8, 2025
Catering has moved from a side channel to a strategy . In the U.S., the catering market was valued at roughly $75B in 2024 and is projected to grow steadily over the next decade. Corporate demand remains a key driver – roughly 8 in 10 companies order business catering at least monthly — and guests continue to expect seamless, tech-enabled ordering paired with reliable, hospitality-led execution. Demand from corporate and social clients continues to rise, and operators are investing in better menus, logistics, and technology to capture it. As dollars shift toward planned group occasions and B2B spend, the brands that marry hospitality with disciplined execution are pulling away.
This list celebrates the individuals steering the transformation — those scaling programs, partnering cross-functionally, and building durable revenue beyond the four walls.
