Combination Creates a Unique, End-to-End Solution for Clients and Vendors Nationwide

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Roaming Hunger, North America’s largest food truck catering service, today announces the acquisition of Cater2.me, the nation’s premier provider of fully-managed, corporate catering programs for businesses of all sizes looking to create community through shared meals. This strategic acquisition strengthens Roaming Hunger’s office catering capabilities by combining Roaming Hunger’s extensive network of over 20,000 food trucks and other mobile food offerings with Cater2.me’s leading catering technology, network of restaurants and chefs across the country, and ability to create customized office catering solutions in top markets across the US.

“From my first conversations with Alex Lorton and Zach Yungst, Cater2.me’s founders, it was clear how complementary our two mission-driven businesses were and how impactful a combination would be for our core stakeholders,” states Greg Liberman, Roaming Hunger’s CEO. “Cater2.me’s mission aligns perfectly with Roaming Hunger’s mission to inspire authentic relationships through unforgettable live experiences. As a result, I could not be more thrilled to welcome Alex, Zach and the rest of the Cater2.me team to our growing family. Through a tireless commitment to providing exceptional experiences for its corporate clients and food service partners, Cater2.me has established loyal client and vendor bases, and we are excited to put these two businesses together to continue to provide innovative solutions to businesses across the country.”

Founded in San Francisco in 2010, Cater2.me has grown to become a trusted national catering partner for corporations of all sizes, helping companies across the country strengthen corporate culture by connecting team members with one another and their local food community through daily in-office meal programs, employee activations, corporate events, and office snack programs.

"Since founding Cater2.me, we've helped thousands of companies across the US strengthen corporate culture and community through engaging shared meals. Joining forces with Roaming Hunger significantly expands our reach and provides new opportunities to create unique, innovative and exciting offerings for both our clients and entrepreneurial food service partners,” states both Cater2.me Co-Founders and Co-CEOs, Zach Yungst and Alex Lorton. “We’re honored to partner with Roaming Hunger to expand our impact, continue to deliver on our shared mission, and provide even more value to clients and food partners in the years ahead.”

The partnership, backed by Roaming Hunger’s majority owner, Shore Capital Partners, also reflects Shore’s continued investment, in the form of both capital and strategic resources, in the Roaming Hunger platform. The acquisition also further underscores Shore’s demonstrated commitment to building industry-leading food and beverage businesses.

The unique combination of Roaming Hunger’s food truck platform and Cater2.me’s in-office catering services provides a unique, fully-integrated offering for any corporate client. Following the acquisition, Cater2.me will continue to operate under its existing brand while being able to immediately leverage the additional resources and offerings of the Roaming Hunger platform.
