Jacquie's Cafe & Gourmet Catering

What Jacquie's Cafe & Gourmet Catering does

Jacquie's Cafe & Gourmet Catering is a privately held, full-service gourmet catering company founded in 2001 by Chef Jacqueline Bols and headquartered in the Indianapolis metropolitan area, with a second sales office in Carmel, Indiana. The business specializes in modern French cuisine built around fresh, locally sourced and sustainably produced ingredients, and delivers turnkey catering — menu planning, food preparation, professional service staff and on-site event management — for events ranging from intimate gatherings to functions serving 1,000+ guests.

The company's core service lines are wedding catering, corporate event catering and social gathering catering, supported by two reference menus (a Full Catering Menu and a Corporate Menu) available as PDF downloads. Underlying capabilities center on the founder's culinary pedigree — training at Southampton University, the Charles Heidsieck award of Culinary Excellence, and prior experience serving Forbes 500 and celebrity clients aboard private yachts in the Mediterranean — rather than on proprietary technology. Distribution is built almost entirely on direct customer relationships, a content-led website, listings on The Knot and Wedding Wire, and preferred-caterer partnerships with 50+ Indianapolis-area venues including Mill Top Banquet & Conference Center, Daniel's Vineyard and Westwood Vowery & Estate.

Revenue mechanics are quote-based per event with pricing determined by guest count, menu selection, service level and venue requirements; no standardized pricing is publicly disclosed. The customer base spans consumers (weddings and private social events) and enterprise/professional services accounts (Liberty Mutual, PwC, Simon Property Group, Roche Diagnostics, Duke Realty, Andretti Global), with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company or funding history. The business operates with 18 employees across a single metro market, indicating a tightly scoped, owner-operated regional operator rather than a high-growth or scalable platform.
