Top 3 School Meal Vendors in Seattle

Finding school lunch vendors in your area that will satisfy your cafeteria’s needs can be a headache. They may not have a website or reviews online, so it can be difficult to source and research these businesses. More importantly, it can be hard to know what the quality of the food will be.

‍

Ordo works with local commercial kitchens and catering companies to provide fresh food for our partner schools, so we’ve researched and vetted hundreds of vendors across the country. We’re pretty familiar with the vendor landscape in the Seattle metropolitan area, so we’ve assembled the top 3 here. These three consistently exceed expectations with mouthwatering meals that students absolutely love.

Joy Max Catering

Joy Max is a family-owned-and-operated company that has been in Everett for years. They offer a wide variety of healthy, delicious menu items from classic dishes to fusion items like their Chicken Dijon Wontons. They also have gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options. This is why we’ve partnered with Joy Max Catering at Ordo to bring delicious homestyle meals to schools in the area.

Sweet Onion Catering is run by Chef Mai, a chef who has worked in kitchens around the world and whose food has been featured in shows like Top Chef Seattle and The Man in the High Castle.
