Catering is no longer just a side hustle—it is a critical engine driving growth, brand loyalty, and scale across the restaurant industry. That is why we are honored to announce the winners of the 2026 Top 30 Movers & Shakers in Catering.
This annual initiative shines a spotlight on the visionary leaders, innovators, and brands redefining off-premise dining. From pioneering game-changing operational strategies and overhauling kitchen logistics to introducing bold menu lines and smart fulfillment technology, this year's honorees represent the very best in industry excellence. Nearly all of our recognized leaders are first-time winners, proving just how rapidly new talent and bold ideas are taking center stage in off-premise dining.
A sincere thank-you to our co-presenter, MONKEY Catering Platform. The team's unwavering support and shared commitment to empowering restaurant operators made this report possible. Together, we are honored to celebrate the incredible visionaries shaping catering's bright future.
Congratulations to all of our 2026 Movers & Shakers! We look forward to recognizing you live on stage at the upcoming Restaurant Catering Workshop, Oct. 6–7 in Arlington, Texas.
