White and Brown Photocentric Family Special Moments Slideshow
Just like many other companies, a long list of “right time, right place, right people” moments describe the foundation of Tasty Catering.
Our background has always been in food service, though not always catering. The company’s roots can be traced back to the 1980s with the opening of Tasty Dawg, the first of several fast food hot dog restaurants. The success of those restaurants led to the request for corporate catering, beginning with smaller lunch orders and soon growing into entire picnics and company events.
Tasty Dawg’s catering division was booming, and with the addition of several key team members, brothers and owners Tom, Larry and Kevin turned the Tasty team’s focus to catering.
Eventually, the three existing Tasty Dawg locations were shut down in favor of the full-time, full-service catering company—Tasty Catering—that was now operating out of a commercial kitchen in Elk Grove Village, IL. With continued success and the addition of even more key employees, Tasty Catering made another leap—this time into a large 12,000 sq-ft building—in 2005 to better accommodate the growth in sales, food and event production, services, menus and employees.
We are proud to provide so many jobs to the community and grateful to have the opportunity to employ people of all different backgrounds and histories. At our peak, each summer, Tasty Catering’s staff swells to over 200 full- and part-time employees. There is just one thing we ask each of our employees to do: follow our culture statements.
For the last several years, Tasty Catering has turned a successful, family-owned and operated business into a thriving member of the Elk Grove community. We have our unique and outstanding culture to thank for attracting and maintaining so many quality staff members and clients.
We have achieved a certain level of notoriety over the years, and we continue to feel honored today to have received such notoriety, recognition and awards from a variety of truly admirable organizations. Tasty Catering’s numerous awards include industry awards, such as Caterer of the Year, and business awards like 2016 Forbes America’s Best Small Companies, Top Small Workplaces, to diverse recognition, such as Psychologically Healthy Workplace and Coolest Places to Work, among many, many others.

In a collaborative event with the local Small Giants Community, Brad Knueven, Cincinnati Conscious Capitalism Chapter President, will be interviewing Tom Walter, Chief Culture Officer of Tasty Catering on April 14 from 8 to 9:15 AM EST.
The breakfast event will take place at Afidence Event Center.
Tom Walter is a serial entrepreneur, author, speaker and a principal in numerous companies. He is best known as the Chief Culture Officer (CCO) of Chicago-area Tasty Catering, a suburban corporate caterer and event planner that was recently named a Forbes Best Small Company in America, among many other accolades over the years.
Tom has more than 40 years of experience as an owner and operator in the service industry. He has participated in the startup of 32 companies, is currently active in 9 of those startups that were cofounded by his staff, has acquired three and—in a few cases—has terminated businesses in a broad spectrum of markets.

A big thank you to Tasty Catering for terrific service and awesome meal options. The individual boxed lunches you provided on Saturday helped in making everyone feel comfortable gathering for the baby shower. Your team is professional and dependable, and I know when ordering from you that I will receive first class service!
Congrats to Julia & Bill! The atmosphere, the people, wedding vows and history of this beautiful couple- the whole day, perfection. I loved the details of their day- the chuppah Bill made, his illustrations on the tables, Julia's delicate rings, her costume change and their fire pole entrance onto the dance floor. the At Firehouse Chicago with Hedonia Flowers, Tasty Catering, goldplaited and catbird

Tasty Catering is a company that should've been forced to close its doors by now. But thanks to its foundation as a purpose-driven company, it’s thriving.
Here's what we can learn from their story: https://hubs.ly/H0rDDYt0
“These times will prove who you are as a leader—and who you aren’t.” So said IPM CEO C. Richard Panico during a Daily Herald Business Ledger webinar, “Maintaining Culture During a Crisis.” Panico and fellow “warrior leaders” Tasty Catering Chief Culture Officer Tom Walters and HR Source Director Sue Winkler shared guidance for protecting people and company culture now and as we resume regular operations. https://bit.ly/3cfj32n

Businesses in today's pandemic and quarantine environment have a choice. Adopt a culture of business agility to move your business forward or fall further behind.
The workplace looks much different now than it did last year when we held our three-part Corporate Culture Series. We brought back a few of our panelists and corporate culture leaders to hear how things have changed, what they’re doing to unite and engage their teams, and the lessons they’re learning about how to retain a positive culture during times of crisis.
Panel members include Mary Lynn Fayoumi and Sue Winkler of HR Source, Rich Panico Integrated Project Management Company, and Tom Walter of Tasty Catering.
