Catering by Restaurant Associates is part of the Restaurant Associates family and tradition. Our relationship is one of unity and dynamism, crossroads and crossed utensils, perfectionism and potential. Every dish we prepare is the culmination of years of experience, carefully built infrastructure, and a tireless dedication to quality.

But there are two halves to our story: we’re also a creative, independent family of our own. We’re as nimble and adventurous as the boutique firms and as disciplined as a battalion. We cut no corners to make big events feel intimate and intimate events feel magnificent. It's a bundle of contradictions with a delicious payoff.

We’re more than a division. In the end, like the cuisine we craft, we are quite literally greater than the sum of our parts. Our equation is multiplicative:

Taste x Consistency

Experimentation x Reliability

Scale x Intimacy

Personal x Professional

We are Catering x Restaurant Associates.

We are CxRA.
