What Iron Catering Crew does

Iron Catering Crew is a Southern California-based catering company founded in 2016 that provides event catering, personal chef services, and food delivery for weddings, social gatherings, corporate functions, TV/film productions, and music festivals. The company is led by Chef Micah Fields, who brings 15+ years of culinary experience including Executive Chef roles at The Standard Hotel Los Angeles, Ace Hotel, and Hotel Erwin Venice Beach. The company operates from a Newport Beach headquarters and a Costa Mesa office, serving clients across Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange County.

The company's product portfolio spans five service lines: wedding catering (with tiered entry-level 'A Simple Wedding' and premium 'Oh, You Fancy!' packages), personal chef services for in-home dinners and cooking lessons, craft services for TV & film productions with 24/7 availability, social catering for music festivals and concert tours, and an e-commerce online ordering platform for prepared foods including platters, family meals, and desserts priced from $8 to $125 per item. The company has no proprietary technology systems and no AI/ML capabilities; its digital infrastructure consists of a website with online ordering capability and social media presence on Instagram and Facebook.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: professional services catering (custom-priced per event), online product sales (unit-based pricing), and personal chef services (quote-based). The business employs 11-50 people, holds a BBB A+ accreditation, and operates as a privately held, founder-led company with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity. Customer acquisition is conducted through website inquiries, phone-based sales with 24-hour response commitments, online ordering, and presence on directory platforms such as Yelp.
