Sustainable Food Service - Metz Culinary Management

home / Why Metz / Sustainability

Sustainability

There’s a reason we’re rated one of the top 20 foodservice management companies.

Visit any Metz-operated dining facility and you’ll notice the difference right away: appealing décor, friendly staff and fresh prepared meals, snacks and other items that look as appetizing as they taste.

We’re setting new standards for excellence based on our company values – hospitality, integrity and fairness, balance, respect and caring, quality and fun.

Our guest-focused approach stems from the various restaurants and foodservice concepts we’ve operated since 1994 – everything from fast casual to fine dining. That’s nearly 25 years worth of customer service experiences brought to your operation every day.

We readily embrace initiatives that enable you to uphold your organization’s standards for ethical responsibility, environmental stewardship and healthy lifestyles.
