The wonderful service of Bon Appétit Food Service will be keeping us well feed and nourished with a generous banquet and salad bar at every lunch and dinner.  Several options will be available at all meals with vegan, vegetarian and other food need options always available. Here is their dream for every meal:  "We are  culture driven to create food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch using authentic ingredients. We do this in a socially responsible manner for the well being of our guests, communities and the environment." Meet the gardeners who will have grown our food by the time we get there... http://www.bamco.com/page/7/farmers--artisans.htm

Bon Appétit Management Company has become a model for what is possible in sustainable food service.

Bon Appétit was the first food service company to address the issues related to where our food comes from and how it is grown. We are still the largest restaurant company with such a high level of commitment to socially responsible practices. Bon Appétit is unique in that all of our promises apply to all cafés, not just specific "green" locations. This means that the impact of our programs has been far reaching and meaningful.

Because of our success in tackling issues of sustainability on such a large scale, we are often asked to speak at industry conferences and to participate in strategic projects aimed at changing the food supply chain. We are proud to say we truly have a seat at the table with advocacy groups. We have even won several awards for our work, including the prestigious Ecological Society of America Corporate Award, the Humane Society of the United States Excellence in Food Service Award, and the Food Alliance Keeper of the Vision Award. Our programs have been recognized both inside and outside the food service world as being groundbreaking.

At Bon Appétit Management Company, we truly believe we have the opportunity and responsibility to make this a better world. As Margaret Mead said, "never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
