What CATERING BY ANDREW, INC. does

Catering By Andrew, Inc. is a privately held, full-service kosher catering company headquartered at 3867 Washington Street in Roslindale, Massachusetts (Greater Boston), founded in 1988 by Andrew Wiener. The company operates a Glatt kosher, Shomer Shabbos kitchen under continuous KVH Kosher (Rabbinical Council of New England) supervision with a Mashgiach Tamidi on premises at all times, sourcing Chassidishe Shechita meats and offering Cholov Yisroel options. It serves Jewish weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate events, galas, and private celebrations across New England, with established relationships at premier Boston venues including the Four Seasons Hotel, Mandarin Oriental, Fairmont Copley Plaza, Royal Sonesta, Boston Symphony Hall, Tanglewood, and the JFK Presidential Library. The firm employs approximately 20 staff, including an Executive Chef (Paul Dean), Sous Chef, Pastry Chef, a Director of Kosher Operations, an On-Site Kosher Supervisor, and a sales team.

The company's core offering is bespoke event catering priced per engagement, with quotes determined by guest count, menu selection, and service requirements, and payment required in full upon ordering. A secondary revenue stream consists of retail and takeout orders placed through a third-party online ordering platform (Flex Catering HQ), with delivery available six days per week across Greater Boston, a 10% administration fee, and rush fees for orders placed within 48 hours. Distribution is relationship-driven via a website inquiry form, direct phone/email contact, and earned media in wedding publications (The Knot, Modern Luxury Weddings Boston, Carats & Cake); social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supplements community-based word-of-mouth referrals.

In May 2024, Catering By Andrew joined the Gourmet Caterers family as a separate kosher business unit, expanding its venue footprint while retaining its KVH-certified identity. The business has no proprietary technology platform beyond the Flex Catering HQ ordering interface, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no patents, and operates without public funding or institutional capital. The company is led by President Josef Messer, with a management team covering operations, staffing, shipping, kosher compliance, and culinary functions.
