A Partner Trusted by Clients and Peers for Amazing Food Experiences

A Trusted Resource

A specialty financial services company headquartered in California sought to expand its popular on-site food programming to newly opened locations across the United States. The provider in its headquarters did not have the resources to serve this larger scope, and in an expression of peer respect, recommended Guckenheimer for the expansion sites. Guckenheimer’s values and hospitality-driven services, focus on nutritious, chef-crafted food, drive for customer engagement and memorable experiences, and dedication to sustainability and waste management resonated with the client. The company now provides on-site cafés and catering services in three client facilities in Tampa, Fort Worth and St. Louis.

Fulfilling Goals
Remaining an employer of choice, fueling employee well-being and performance, enabling connection with colleagues and company, and providing memorable experiences in a time of dynamic change were all goals of this financial services client. In each location, Guckenheimer tailored menus, design, services, teams and events to the unique personality of that site and its people. These efforts enhanced client culture, engaged and connected employees, made dining fun and relaxing, and prompted one worker to say “Great meals feed the body, but the care behind them feeds the spirit.”

Vested in their client and its people, the Guckenheimer team at each site also constantly sought ways to strengthen those workplace communities through food. They built welcoming environments and strong relationships with employees; created diverse programs incorporating seasonal fare, food trends and dietary preferences; introduced technology to measure and reduce food waste; and served restaurant-quality cuisine at catered events.

Outcomes
Guckenheimer provides 800+ meals daily across the client’s three locations, with more than three-quarters of client employees participating in the program.
