Foodie Catering

What Foodie Catering does

Foodie Catering is a full-service, founder-owned catering company founded in 2008 by Raul and Michele Bosch in Orlando, Florida. The company provides corporate catering, wedding catering, and special-event catering across Central Florida, operating from its own building at 213 Clear Lake Way in downtown Orlando since 2016. Service offerings span the full range from drop-off and boxed lunches through plated fine dining, with supporting capabilities including chef-attended stations, full bar service, professional wait staff, linens, equipment setup, and table settings. Menu offerings cover American, French, Mediterranean, Asian, German, Latin American, and Italian cuisines with dietary accommodations for gluten-free, kosher, lactose-free, vegan, and vegetarian preferences.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining a direct sales team (Catering Sales Manager and Event Coordinator) with venue partnerships. Foodie Catering is an exclusive caterer at Club Lake Plantation (a 43-acre Apopka wedding venue hosting nearly-weekly weddings) and a preferred vendor at 20+ Central Florida venues including Bridle Oaks, The Mezz, Canvas, City Arts, Cypress Creek Farmhouse, and Sterling Event Venue. Customer acquisition also flows through online inquiry, wedding marketplace platforms (The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola), Instagram (@FoodieCatering), and word-of-mouth referrals. Named enterprise accounts include Florida Hospital, State Farm Operations Center, Abbot Nutrition, Florida Emergency Physicians, Orlando Neurosurgery, Stetson EMBA, and Orlando City Soccer.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time event bookings on a quote-based, per-person pricing model with a 22% production fee potentially added depending on event requirements, plus menu customization and tasting services. There are no funding rounds, external investors, or parent companies disclosed; the business is bootstrapped and privately held by the founding couple. The company has accumulated six consecutive years of wedding industry awards (WeddingWire Couples' Choice 2017-2019, The Knot Best of Weddings 2020-2022, Wedding Rule #2 Best Caterer Orlando 2023).
