History
Established in 2016.
In 2016, Ellen Beier began Engineered Edibles Catering Co. (EE) as a creative outlet from her career as an engineer. In late 2018, Ellen left engineering to cater full-time and expand her team. We were working hard and growing quickly, primarily providing corporate lunch services. Then came March 2020...
Our clients were expanding their teams massively, and we were expanding our client base. Unfortunately, our rapid growth came to a halt with offices closing through the pandemic.
Over the last few years, we have pivoted until we made ourselves dizzy - including opening The Table in Downtown Overland Park, where we focused our energy the most. The Table is small café and home to our private event catering services.
Now that many local business have returned to office, we have shifted our focus back to our first love - corporate lunches. In January 2023, we changed our name to The Corporate Catering Co., and we are forging ahead with our employee lunch program services.
Meet the Business Owner: Ellen B.
One of my favorite things is sharing food. I love creating experiences for people through food and entertaining. From creating a romantic dinner with my husband to hosting holiday meals for our families to simply having a group of friends over to watch a ball game. Every event is an opportunity to create memories!
I am not a professionally trained chef. However, I am a licensed Professional Engineer. You may be wondering how these two disciplines relate...well, you'll be surprised to find that they do! As an engineer, I've learned how to creatively solve problems. And even though planning an event isn't necessarily considered a 'problem', it does require thought, organization, experience, and creativity. I've found that my engineering background has helped me to optimize buffet layouts, tackle difficult recipes, and feed gobs of people without breaking a sweat!
