Company Summary

Fressen Catering, located in Philadelphia, PA will offer high-end kosher catering to the Philadelphia community.  Fressen Catering will serve parties of 25-300 people with high-end kosher foods that are currently only available in New York City.  Fressen Catering will offer a large menu repertoire, from traditional favorites to creative inventions.  All of the food and drink items served will be done under strict supervision of the Orthodox Rabbinic authority.

Fressen will rent space for the office and kitchen in an industrial area of Philadelphia.  Renting in the industrial area will significantly lower the cost.

Fressen Catering is forecasted to generate $395,000 in revenues for year three.
