Established Bay Area Catering Company with Commissary Kitchen
Business Description
Exceptional opportunity to acquire an established, full-service catering and event company serving Marin County, Wine Country, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. Operating since 2007, the business has built an outstanding reputation for fresh cuisine, personalized menus, professional service, and dependable event execution.
The company provides catering for weddings, corporate functions, private dinners, celebrations of life, cocktail parties, brunches, social gatherings, and other special occasions. Its experienced team can manage the complete event experience, including menu development, tastings, staffing, setup, table service, rental coordination, breakdown, and cleanup.
The business benefits from repeat clientele, strong online reviews, established venue partnerships, corporate relationships, vacation-rental referrals, and a meaningful presence within the local community. Approximately half of its business has historically come from weddings, providing a strong foundation in one of Northern California’s most active event markets.
Operations are based from a licensed and fully equipped commercial commissary kitchen in a high-traffic Marin County location. Convenient freeway access makes the facility a central hub for serving Marin, Sonoma, Napa, San Francisco, the East Bay, and surrounding communities. The facility is also zoned for retail food use, creating additional opportunities for prepared meals, takeout, delivery, pop-ups, and other food concepts.
Six independent food businesses currently rent kitchen space, generating approximately $2,900 in supplemental monthly income. The sale is expected to include extensive commercial kitchen and catering equipment, office furnishings, operating systems, digital assets, and two delivery vehicles, subject to final agreement.
Approximately 23 part-time employees support food preparation, event service, delivery, setup, and cleanup. Systems are already established for scheduling, proposals, contracts, client communication, staffing, and event coordination.
The company is a certified Marin County Green Business and has earned recognition through its sustainability practices, nonprofit support, charitable food donations, and community involvement.
Significant growth potential exists through expanded corporate catering, additional venue relationships, recurring office-meal programs, private-chef services, retail food sales, delivery, and greater utilization of the commissary kitchen.
The owner is committed to providing hands-on training, introductions, and transition support. This turnkey opportunity is ideal for a chef, caterer, restaurant operator, hospitality group, or food-service company seeking an established Bay Area platform with a respected reputation, experienced staff, valuable infrastructure, and multiple income streams.
