Nourish Your NYC or NJ Team with Fresh, Innovative Seasonal Cuisine

Companies in New York City and New Jersey are welcoming their teams back to the office. With this return comes hungry employees who are craving catered workplace meals that nourish them. And by nourish, we mean good for the body and delicious for the taste buds. 

Offering upscale workplace dining options is a powerful perk for your team. At Martin + Fitch, our workplace dining program offers clients weekly menus inspired by global cuisine, with selections that feature fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Designing seasonal foods for workplace dining

Chef Dennis Cruz, who creates our weekly workplace dining menus, said that “Our dishes are designed around what’s best in the market right now, which means seasonal ingredients that are readily available and often locally grown or locally sourced. I buy from local vendors as much as possible.” 

Building dishes around seasonal ingredients means using products that are readily available, with produce at peak ripeness and of high nutritional value. Seasonal menus offer variety and a sense of “ooh, what are we getting to choose this week” excitement. It also adds inspiration in the kitchen, as Chef Dennis and his culinary team experiment with what they’re finding in markets to create new menu items. 

Seasonal themes and custom catering 

Offering seasonal menus also means developing themed menus and custom orders that align with holidays and special months. For a New York City company, Chef Dennis recently prepared an Asian menu for a custom Chinese New Year office lunch. It featured all the flavors and seasonings of Chinese cuisine, plus his tapioca coconut dessert with mango and sweet sesame rice balls with red bean paste (his original recipe). He included a Trinidadian stew with dumplings on a recent weekly workplace dining menu, in honor of Black History Month. Latin dishes will show up during Hispanic Heritage Month and so on.

Workplace dining and corporate catering

Martin + Fitch offers workplace dining for breakfasts and lunches, as well as catered corporate dinners, based on our clients’ needs. For a breakfast meeting in NYC, the team enjoyed crepes with ricotta cheese, orange rind and macerated strawberry, with Chef Dennis’ signature cappuccino scones he bakes fresh every day. Catered lunches include individually wrapped or boxed meals, sandwiches, and salads. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan selections are always available, so everyone has something delicious to eat.

We also provide corporate event catering for a range of business meetings, galas, and special events, featuring the same seasonal ideas and ingredients. We believe excellent corporate event catering is meant to not only feed your clients and business partners, but make them feel appreciated as well. (There’s nothing like a gourmet dining experience to do that!)
