Ohio employers count on Café Services for corporate cafeteria food services that blend local food, local vendors and local talent. Our vast experience as a corporate dining food service provider since 1983 informs how we provide comprehensive cafeteria services and support for our clients and their employees. 

Our corporate food service menus feature fresh locally-sourced food, crafted in-house and offered in a restaurant-style setting by locally-based foodservice professionals.

Beyond what a typical corporate dining company offers, Café Services’ cuisine is inspired by local and regional recipes and cultures, as well as international traditions and trends.

Called the Buckeye state, Ohio’s official tree is the buckeye nut tree. Buckeye candy, the state’s famous dessert tradition, combines peanut butter, butter, and confectioners’ sugar into a bite-sized ball that’s partially dipped in chocolate to resemble a buckeye nut.

Ohio is the only state with a non-rectangular flag, officially known as the Ohio Burgee, which is triangular and pennant-shaped. The state slogan, “Ohio: Find it Here” is appropriate, as Ohio is home to many cultural food traditions. Each region boasts its own unique cuisine, inspired by familiar traditions of the Polish, Serbian, Italian and German communities throughout the state

Our dedicated local chefs at each Café Services corporate cafeteria across Ohio are continually inspired to infuse regional flavors into the wide variety of foods we prepare daily, on-site, from scratch.

Café Service Beyond Everyday Corporate Food Service   

Themed events are one of the many ways that Café Services goes beyond everyday corporate food service. Our teams create unique food selections in a celebratory environment to honor many local, national and international holidays, seasonal and cultural traditions, and firm-specific milestone achievements.

Local Food 

Native Ohio Fruits 

Café Services integrates locally-sourced fruits in our chefs’ sweet and savory recipes for pies, tarts, pizzas and more.  Examples include pawpaws, Ohio’s official state fruit, in season from late summer to early fall. Celebrated as a nutritious and delicious local flavor, Pawpaw fruit tastes similar to a banana, with notes of pineapple, mango and vanilla.  Ohio’s official apple, Melrose, was developed here as a blend of Red Delicious and Jonathan varieties.

Iconic Meals, Sides, and Snacks of Ohio

Sauerkraut balls, an appetizer originally made in Akron, are a favorite treat throughout Northeast Ohio. They feature sauerkraut, cream cheese, and sometimes ham, rolled, lightly breaded and fried until crisp.

Cincinnati chili is a legendary dish of ground meat infused with rich flavors of chocolate and spices such as cinnamon and allspice. Cincinnati chili is served over spaghetti or a similar pasta, and topped with plenty of cheese and sometimes other toppings such as fried onions, and crushed oyster crackers. 

The Polish boy sandwich, Cleveland’s signature comfort food that’s now popular nationwide, typically consists of a kielbasa sausage, coleslaw, fries, and barbecue sauce in a bun.  

Shredded chicken sandwiches are a specialty of Northern and Central Ohio. Their flavor comes from fork-shredded chicken simmered in broth or condensed soup, with breadcrumbs, crushed potato chips or flour.

Goetta is Cincinnati’s signature sausage, made popular by the city’s German immigrants. Goetta typically consists of pork or beef, onions, herbs, spices, and oats. Usually prepared as sliced, fried, and served with eggs for breakfast, it has risen to iconic popularity as a sandwich when tucked into a hamburger bun. 

Cheese Coneys are a Cincinnati staple, featuring a steamed bun, split and piled high with beef hot dog or pork sausage, and topped with Cincinnati chili, onions and shredded Cheddar cheese. 

Pierogies are pockets of dough stuffed with seasoned fillers such as potatoes, cheese, onions, etc. and then sauteed or boiled, and served plain or with toppings.  This hearty Polish-inspired fare is an Ohio staple especially throughout the greater Cleveland area. 

Barberton chicken is a regional favorite among communities in greater Barberton and Northeastern Ohio. This flavorful fried chicken dish features Serbian-inspired spices, and is typically served with coleslaw and spicy “hot rice”, which is rice simmered in hot peppers and tomatoes.

Traditional Shaker lemon pie, or Ohio Lemon Pie, is a sweet juicy dessert that incorporates whole lemons, from the peel to the inner flesh, plus eggs and sugar into a creamy filling baked inside a flaky crust.  

Café Services teams proudly create a variety of area-inspired hearty comfort foods with fresh, seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients as often as possible.
