ABOUT US Sugarplum Catering is part of a rich food service history that began over twenty years ago. The founding of University Food Systems (the name changed to Plum Cafés in 2002) began with a simple idea from founder Richard Mott in 1981. As a student in the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago, Mott realized that there was an opportunity in the Chicago market to deliver exceptional service at affordable prices. What began as a small coffee shop operation on the University of Chicago campus in 1981 has grown into a premier food service business widely respected for its customer focus, quality of food and commitment to excellence. Today, Plum Cafés operates 18 coffee shops, a vending services business and Sugarplum Catering. Sugarplum Catering has reliably met the catering needs of the Chicago business community focusing on fresh products, timely delivery and fair prices. In recent years, Sugarplum Catering has also enjoyed success in the outside the business community in the area of private parties and special events. Regardless of the occasion, customers depend on Sugarplum to deliver when they need to make a good impression. As Sugarplum Catering continues to grow and meet the needs of our customers, one thing wont change. We are committed to the happiness of our customers. We know that fair prices, fantastic food and great service will keep customers happy and thats what we plan on delivering, day after day.
