Savory

What Savory does

Savory Hospitality (legal entity Savory Deli, LLC) is a boutique corporate food and beverage firm headquartered at 15 West 39th Street in midtown Manhattan, founded in 2012 and led by founder and CEO Dhruv Singh. The company serves Manhattan-based corporate offices and event clients with four integrated service pillars: corporate catering (drop-off and full-service, including boxed lunches, buffets, sandwich platters, and specialty breakfasts); full-service events for 25 to 2,000 guests including cocktail receptions, seated dinners, and large-scale corporate activations; Simply Savory, a grab-and-go sub-brand of pre-packaged salads, sandwiches, bowls, and snacks; and Amenity Services providing managed onsite café, barista, pantry, and employee meal programs for commercial properties. Across these pillars Savory runs a Globally Inspired Menu Program sourced from a culinary team representing 6 continents and 18 countries.

Operating technology centers on a centralized midtown commissary kitchen, a proprietary web-based ordering platform at order.savory.com, and an owned delivery fleet serving all five NYC boroughs. Operational differentiators include plant-based compostable packaging, Leanpath waste tracking, an exclusive sanitation partnership with Ecolab, local sourcing via Hepworth Farms and Hudson Valley Harvest, surplus donation to the Food Bank for New York City, and contracted third-party support for kosher/halal requests and supplemental event staffing and rentals.

Revenue is generated on a per-event/per-person basis with menu items priced from $10-$40 per person for breakfast/lunch formats up to $75-$250+ per person for full-service events, plus a 20% administrative fee that covers labor, delivery, equipment, and disposables applied across all orders. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with no complicated contracts; minimums are $200 weekday and $4,000 weekend, with rush fees for late orders. The go-to-market is predominantly direct enterprise and mid-market field sales supported by inside sales (phone/email concierge), self-serve online ordering, and an event-driven growth channel targeting corporate occasions from meetings to 2,000-guest activations. Simply Savory extends distribution into channel partnerships with offices, venues, travel hubs, co-working spaces, healthcare, and education campuses. Savory is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes.
