Mary Lou Bacik has enjoyed cooking for as long as she can remember. She started a catering business from home in the early 1980s, and in 1989 founded Corporate Plaza Catering in Independence, Ohio as one of the first food service in the office buildings around Rockside Road. In 1994, she expanded her catering business with the addition of a second location at 6000 Freedom Square Park. We met with Mary Lou and Manager Janet Bakel recently, and listened as they described the services they provide;

Corporate Plaza Catering is a full-service catering business focusing primarily on the catering needs of the corporate community. We cater breakfasts, lunches, meetings, employee events, receptions, barbeques, cocktail parties, and dinners for board meetings. We also cater personal events, such as communions, weddings, showers, anniversary parties, and holiday get-togethers for some of our established corporate clients.

My staff and I provide our clients with a highly personalized service. We visit each location to determine the ideal set-up for the event and to get ideas on how we can best coordinate the decorations for the upcoming function. We specialize in creating a menu that helps showcase the type of entertaining our clients have planned, and strive to design our set-up in a manner that is not only visually enticing, but also enables our clients to maximize the usability of the available space.

All of our food is prepared at either our Freedom Square or Corporate Plaza kitchen and transported by van to the desired location. We ensure our clients' satisfaction with their food choices by conducting tasting sessions in advance to enable them to sample the food items they have selected. Most of my staff members have been with me for many years and take an immense amount of pride in making sure every client's event is a successful one.

We cater events of all sizes, ranging from larger dinners for 200 to affairs for 600-800 people. For established corporate clients hosting smaller events during the week, we will deliver for as few as twelve diners.

Corporate Plaza Catering is the perfect choice for all your corporate catering needs. Call Corporate Plaza Catering today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
