History

On April 1, 2006, Pat Ingram and his wife, Julie, decided to start their own food service company. They named the company OrchidOwls Catering, Inc.

Pat has been in the industrial food service business since 1977. He started his career with Canteen Corporation for 6 years of service, and then worked for Frank’s Vending for 4 years of service. He then managed CRH Catering Company for 18 years.

When Pat decided to resign from CRH Catering and begin Orchid Owls Catering, CRH turned over all the catering business to Orchid Owls in support of his dedicated service and success managing CRH. On April 1, 2006, Pat and Julie signed a food service contract with the Maplehurst Country Club, and they operated the catering business from that facility until the purchase of their own facility in Cumberland, Maryland.

In May of 2009, OrchidOwls Catering diversified and began a vending division. Our current accounts include ACS in Frostburg, Maryland, CSX Transportation in Cumberland, Maryland, Western Maryland Health System in Cumberland, Maryland, and the Thomas B. Finan Center in Cumberland, Maryland.

“Thank you for your consideration.”
