An alternative dining service for businesses, private schools, higher education, and finer institutions looking for fresh ideas.

Company - Philosophy

NexDine has 4 major philosophical ideals. Each is an integral part of what makes NexDine a unique alternative to traditional dining services. Despite NexDine's relative young age, each of these ideals were born from years of experience and customer feedback.

To provide higher service and higher hospitality

Higher service is to deliver on the promise of what we say we can do at a higher level than you and the marketplace expects. To ensure your order, your meal, or your event is what you ordered, plus more. Making sure hot food is hot, cold food is cold. Uniforms are clean. Staff is professional. These, and many more items are simply elements of higher service.

Higher Hospitality is delivering higher service with warmth, compassion, and an "I Care" attitude. It's how you feel about your NexDine experience. Did we smile? Were you treated with respect? Would you tell a friend how special your experience was? Is the staff friendly? Is the food Craveable? Did we do something extraordinary? If we messed up something, did we make it right, plus more?

To lead our industry in "sustainability" execution

Executing sustainable kitchen practices and sourcing from local vendors is actually very hard work. Sadly, the industry supply chain is not very good and is not built to support NexDine business practices (because nobody else is really doing it, so they are not incented to change). It's also fragmented and built with layers of bureaucracy, fees, and secrecy. Very few vendors know the answers to a basic questions like "Is this a local tomato?". The industry is slow to change, but we are forging ahead as fast as we can. We cannot waiver from our mission of leading in the execution of sustainable practices because it's hard to do and requires a bit more work. The quality of our food and expectations of our customer are worth it.

To become the best place for hospitality professionals to work

What we've learned is that the only way to put our customers first is by putting our employee first. Satisfied employees lead to satisfied customers, the only kind you can afford to have in a service business like ours. We focus on employee satisfaction three ways--employee empowerment, job flexibility, and employee input.




To exceed Client expectations, financial and otherwise

Exceeding expectations on the plate is only half the battle. We certainly understand that there are financial obligations that we must exceed.

We also don't believe sustainable practices should equate to higher costs. We believe better food quality equals higher sales, which in turn equates to better financial performance...period.
