Catering
With over 40 years of experience in the food & beverage arena, we cater the smallest and simplest of events, to the largest and most complex. Let us handle everything from food service, to staffing and equipment rentals. Our standard catering guides cover our most popular offerings, but custom menus are always an option. You can contact us at catering@mbjfoodservices.com with catering inquiries.
Food Insecurity
Giving back to the communities we serve is at the core of our corporate values. As primarily collegiate food service providers, our focus has always been on the students of each community we serve. Since 2018, with a break for the CoVid-19 pandemic, MBJ has donated over $100,000.00, in the form of meal vouchers, to John Jay College’s Food Pantry. For information on how to access these services, please visit https://www.jjay.cuny.edu/john-jay-food-bank to learn more about the food vouchers and other services offered by the John Jay College Food Pantry.
