BUFFALO, N.Y. — Every morning, a team of eight to 10 employees report early to work at one of the 12 locations of Rachel’s Mediterranean Grill’s to get started on the day’s catering orders.
Catering has grown to represent 30% to 40% of the business with more than 6,000 orders cooked last year. That includes graduation parties, business meetings and group lunch orders.
That volume keeps the company at No. 1 on the Buffalo Business First List of the region's Largest Off-Site Caterers. No. 2 on the list is Chef's Restaurant with 3,750 events last year. Three others reported more than 1,000 catering events in 2023: Chiavetta's Catering, 3,000; Fat Bob's Smokehouse, 1,508; and Jonny C's NY Deli and Caterers, $1,000.
