Eat Catering Concepts

What Eat Catering Concepts does

Eat Catering Concepts is a privately held, founder-led catering company headquartered at 3305 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Suite 600, Duluth, Georgia, serving the metro Atlanta market. The business was co-founded by Amy Busby and Kelly, with Executive Chef Greg Volle leading the culinary team; the partners collectively hold 57+ years of food service industry experience. Operations are organized around event-driven catering for corporate meetings, private celebrations, and holiday gatherings, with a stated emphasis on farm-to-table sourcing via Georgia Grown and Royal Food Service, scratch-made preparation, and signature family recipes. Customer acquisition is largely direct (phone/email at 678-920-1522, [email protected]) supplemented by an online ordering platform at restaurantcateringsystems.com and listings on DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats for smaller orders.

The product portfolio spans multiple daypart and cuisine categories: lunch catering (sandwiches, salads), Southern BBQ, American fare, Italian/Spanish entrees, build-your-own stations (tostada, taco, chili/potato bars), breakfast catering, and a rotating calendar of seasonal menus (Winter Celebration, Spring, Oktoberfest, BBQ, Farm-to-Table, Vegan, Chili & Baked Potato Bar). Add-on dessert and venue referral partnerships (Crave Pie Studio; The Venue at Friendship Springs, District Atlanta, Armour Event Center) extend the offering beyond core food preparation. Marketing is executed through the company website, blog, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and a monthly email newsletter via Flodesk.

The revenue model is transaction-based per event with custom quote-based pricing and no recurring subscription component; pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the holiday menu carries a 10-person minimum. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no institutional investors, no patents, no certifications, and no M&A activity. Volume is highly seasonal: management reports serving 17,529 people during the November-December 2024 holiday season, with approximately two-thirds of annual business concentrated in that window. The company is actively operating and publishing new menu content as of 2026.
