Constellation Culinary Group Offers Sustainable Menus to Fuel Productivity for Bandwidth’s 1,000+ Employees

PHILADELPHIA, January 30, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nobody knows better than Constellation Culinary Group (CCG), a culinary group dedicated to providing best-in-class dining experiences, that busy workers are happiest and most productive when they are well-nourished. For this reason, CCG is proud to be the exclusive on-site catering partner at the new global headquarters campus for Bandwidth, a cloud communications software company in Raleigh, N.C.

Two years in the making, the stunningly modern, 40-acre complex opened in Aug. 2023 and is surrounded by bucolic farmland nestled in the region’s famous Research Triangle. A company-wide commitment to innovating and collaborating through in-person work means the campus is full of about 1,000 hungry "Bandmates" daily.

"At CCG, we believe that exceptional cuisine, sustainable practices, and collaborative partnerships are essential ingredients for fostering a thriving and productive work environment," said Said Elkhodary, SVP of Dining & Events and Professional Dining of Constellation Culinary Group. "Our immersive culinary experience, including The Wild Turkey Café, The Bandstand, and innovative micro markets, reflects our commitment to top-notch hospitality, community involvement, and a sustainable future."

Within a few months of the start of the initial partnership, Constellation Culinary Group swiftly established its presence as the exclusive on-site catering partner at Bandwidth’s new global headquarters. The partnership, which officially commenced in August 2023, has seamlessly integrated CCG’s expertise into the daily operations of the campus. Beyond culinary excellence, CCG has demonstrated a unique commitment to the well-being of Bandwidth's community by extending its services to the on-site Montessori preschool. By offering wholesome and nutritious food options, CCG not only supports the nourishment of Bandwidth's employees but also contributes to the holistic care and development of their children.

Recognizing the profound influence of exceptional cuisine, sustainable practices, employee well-being, and the power of collaborative partnerships in enhancing productivity, CCG and Bandwidth are excited to offer this vibrant feature for all to enjoy.

Underpinning their commitment to top-notch hospitality, community involvement, and a sustainable future, CCG has crafted an immersive culinary experience at Bandwidth, featuring:
