A unique culture
We’ve built a culture, unique in the industry, that attracts the best talent and empowers them to thrive.
Componere is the first caterer to ever be awarded Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplace in America Award, after an in-depth process that included an anonymous survey of our team members and an audit of our benefits program.
Changing the Industry
We recruit the best team members and provide a positive, dynamic environment that keeps them innovative and inspired.
Instead of burning out our full-time management team, as is common in the industry, we offer flexible scheduling, generous paid time off, a profit-sharing retirement plan, daily organic farm lunches, and fully paid medical and dental benefits.
Charity: water Supporter
You’ll notice a $1 per person charge on our invoices for tap water service. Our goal is to sponsor one new well a year in areas of the world desperately in need of clean water, and Componere will make up the funding shortfall.
Sustainability
We’re proud to be a Certified Green Business, and we have been since 2012. Events are so important for bringing people together but also present opportunities for minimizing waste and environmental impact. Please ask us for ideas on how to make your event as sustainable as possible, we’d love to help.
Bay Area Rescue Mission
The Bay Area Rescue Mission feeds over 1,000 people a day in one of Richmond’s toughest neighborhoods. We partner with them by donating leftover food from our events.
We also participate in their groundbreaking culinary job training program that has been profiled by the likes of The New York Times, NPR, and CBS Evening News. Their top students have the opportunity to accept a paid position in our prep kitchen where they learn valuable fine dining and catering skills.
