Proudly serving Sororities and Fraternities, Upper Crust Food Service is known for freshness, quality, variety, and excellent customer service. Upper Crust Food Service began with a vision to solve a problem that many Fraternity and Sorority houses face.  That problem is a lack of consistency and professionalism in the kitchen.  With a focus on great food and personal service, we’ve remained true to our roots. Today, the chefs of Upper Crust Food Service prepare tens of thousands of meals weekly for students across the country.

At Upper Crust Food Service, we serve fresh, nutritious meals to students nationwide — and we do it with care, consistency, and purpose. Our K–12 cafeteria teams enjoy reliable schedules, supportive leadership, and the opportunity to make a daily impact in the lives of children.
