Cloud9 Corporate Catering

Real food, real people, and a belief that every meal deserves personal attention. These were the humble beginnings of the present-day hospitality brand, Cloud9 Corporate Catering. Originally known as Cricket Catering, the company earned its reputation dish by dish, building a loyal client base that valued authenticity, reliability, and taste.

As new opportunities emerged, it introduced two specialist brand concepts: The Mighty Greek and Nomad BBQ, each designed to expand its culinary reach and serve a distinct need. Soon, it became clear that clients weren’t just booking food; they were booking trust, flexibility, and an effortless experience. Fueled by this realization, Cloud9 Corporate Catering was launched as a unified brand that exemplifies the company’s full capabilities while preserving the individuality of its sub-brands.

“While others see catering as a transaction, we see it as an extension of our client’s brand,” says Drew Blanckenberg, Managing Director. “The name Cloud9 reflects how we see our role. We don’t aim for good enough; we aim to lift the experience for the client, their guests, and our team by anticipating needs and adapting fast.”

Built for the Corporate World

Today, Cloud9 delivers end-to-end hospitality solutions tailored to every corporate need. Its offerings are expansive and refined—from full-service event catering and gourmet boxed meals to wellness-driven menus, seasonal activations, and on-site micro cafés. Every detail is managed in-house to ensure consistency, control, and unmatched service.

For Cloud9, eliminating uncertainty in the catering process is essential. Whether it’s a boardroom lunch or a staff milestone event, the team understands what’s at stake and ensures executional excellence. Every culinary item is rigorously aligned with the initial promise and the quality experienced during tastings, eliminating discrepancies between expectation and reality.

That consistency and level of service are what set Cloud9 apart. From custom dietary requirements to last-minute changes, flexibility and follow-through are non-negotiable. Every order is prepared fresh, with work often beginning before dawn to preserve flavor and serve dishes at the perfect temperature.

As workplaces continue to evolve, food has become more than a perk; it’s a powerful way to support employee well-being, connection, and company culture. Cloud9’s menus are designed to nourish as well as delight, offering balanced, energizing meals that support focus, morale, and inclusion. From plant-based options to low-carb or comfort food classics, Cloud9 helps companies reflect care and thoughtfulness through every bite and sip.

From Lunches to In-House Espresso Bars

This approach is illustrated by Cloud9’s evolving relationship with a Boston-based global tech company. What began as a weekly buffet lunch expanded into a daily smoothie station, followed by the launch of a fully customized espresso bar. Designed, staffed, and operated entirely by Cloud9 three days a week, the initiative goes beyond food service. The team recommended equipment, managed the buildout, developed tailored menus, and integrated online ordering, treating the engagement as a comprehensive hospitality solution rather than a simple catering assignment.

A Team That Lives the Brand

Behind this success is a skilled team where every member is coached to ensure that presentation, service, and professionalism are never left to chance. If an issue arises, the team instinctively works to resolve it. This level of responsiveness is built into the company’s DNA and nurtured by a culture of always going above and beyond.

Cloud9 also excels at transforming innovative client concepts into reality. When tasked with ambitious ideas like a large-scale outdoor event, custom-branded cookies, or an ice sculpture centerpiece, the team goes beyond standard service. They conduct thorough site assessments, align logistical resources, and meticulously coordinate all components to bring the client’s vision to life.

At Cloud9, catering is more than a service; it’s a way to bring people together with care, intention, and a lasting sense of impact.
