Bon Appétit Management Company
Bon Appétit Management Company is an on-site restaurant company that runs more than 1,000 cafés and catering operations for corporations, universities, and museums across the United States. Founded in 1987 by Fedele Bauccio and Ernie Collins, it pioneered cooking from scratch in the contract food world and built a reputation as the industry's sustainability conscience - the first major food service company to commit to sustainable seafood, cage-free eggs, antibiotic limits, and tying food choices to climate change. A Compass Group subsidiary since 2002, it operates from Redwood City, California.
