Terrible company to work for. I made an ADA request for kitchen mats. Three weeks go by and no mats and after working 9-10 hour shifts my foot was too stiff to put weight on. This company lied over and over to work comp then when I was able to return they fired me 12 hours before I came back. I have worked for all three of the bigger greek life food services. This one is the worst. Absolutely full of themselves only money matters. If you stay at budget all the "relief" chefs get bonuses from money that should go towards the food and service. High expectations with no support. I was employed from August 7th to September 19th. How do you pay for all the relief chefs, regional managers, sales, and owners? By taking off the top and skimping on your services. I was told directly to buy things they won't eat so your continental breakfast could run all weekend like your contract promises. Other companies keep a set budget so on shorter weeks you can fill your kitchen with essentials instead you take away and where does that money go. In your pocket and you only have a business by stealing Campus Cooks idea and under cutting them with unethical practices.

Worst food service company out there. They will straight out lie to get you to sign a contract. They will serve you a fancy meal that won't be able to be made on the budgets they give out. My budget was razor thin and they want each house to share product. For example one house has excessive amount of salt and they expect you to share that with every house they have on campus. There is no pto, sick days or breaks. Dishwashers are student workers that call off constantly so you are stuck washing dishes instead of focusing on the meals. Avoid this company at all costs. Don't let them s***** you in with Christmas break and summer break. There is no guarantee you will work the following year it depends on if they can keep the contract. Run from this company there are better food service companies like Campus Cooks or College Chefs.Check glassdoor reviews for a honest assessment of what it's like working for this scam of a company. Sorry you have so many employees that have bad things to say about your sham company.

My awful experience with this company. My son was sick with Covid and they told me if I couldn't find a way to come in I would be fired. They lie about work/life balance it only happens when the students are off. So don't plan on seeing a doctor or running any errands during the week.Edit*** I don't know who GHC is talking about

I would not recommend this company to anyone. I occupy a role as Food Liaison in the Greek system at the University of Washington and have had many severe problems with this company. Ranging from poisoning girls with celiac disease (repeatedly) to simple problems, such as never restocking snacks and condiments, to the chef just being incompetent, proven through them not rotating out the food in the salad bar and instead just adding some new vegetables on top of the molding ones.We have had several meetings with the GHC regional director and nothing has come of it except excuses for their carelessness.I am so excited to get my chapter out of our contract with them. If you are looking for a new food service company for your chapter: I assure you that this is not an option that you should consider, unless your goal is to force your members spend additional money on buying food that is safe to consume.

I’ve worked for the Greek House family now for two years and that’s exactly what it is. A FAMILY! As a former owner of two restaurants and a career coming up in an industry that lets face it, doesn’t always have YOUR best interest in mind. I can honestly say that becoming a member of the #bluecoatarmy has not only made me a better chef, but a better person. I look forward to going to work everyday because I’m challenged, I’m appreciated, I’m respected, and I get to put my best foot forward and get to make the best food with the freshest ingredients. Knowing that I have a team of like minded chefs there to support me and have my back at a moments notice. This was hands down the smartest career move I’ve ever made. I bleed blue! GHC is the best decision I’ve ever made.

I have being working with GHC for almost 4yrs now and I have loved every second of it! What I have loved most is seeing how the business, which is more of a family than everything else has developed and grown in this time. And when I say family I mean family, the owners Corey and Carey treat us as well as they do they own flesh and blood making them our surrogate mom and dad! Every member of staff and colleague I have interacted with is here to be the best they can be and provide the best quality service in fitting with the way that we would our own families which makes our company motto of Bring 'em Home all the more real.I hope to continue to grow and develop with this company for many more years.

My experience with Greek House Chefs was wonderful. I needed to cater food for a event of nearly 200 guests. The chefs worked 101 with me to create a menu that would be perfect for the event. Especially, Chef Ryan. He took the time out of his busy day to help me out. He was so awesome! The food turned out amazing. Not only did it taste delicious, but it looked beautiful. The desert table was without a doubt the most eye catching piece to the event. Thank you Greek House Chefs for your amazing work and dedication to providing the best of the best!

Greek House Chefs is seriously the BEST! They truly care about the food that they are serving and the people that they serve it to and it shows. In my sorority, our chef would always help set up the meal and he was so nice and easy to talk to and genuinely cared about us. He was also so good about making any meals we requested throughout the week and was always so responsive and positive about any feedback that we had. It was so nice to come home from a long day of classes and know that there was a delicious meal waiting for me!

Greek House Chefs is what every sorority and fraternity needs! They are the best at accommodations, special events, and overall amazing food. Chef Ryan is always so pleasant to be around and is always asking for our feedback to improve in any way possible-which is very rare! The app is so helpful especially during those busy weeks. I can just pull out my phone when I am walking home from class and see what's for dinner that night. They are without a doubt, the best food service on campus!

If you want a great work life balance, be apart of a company that cares, listens, the best chef community, cook awesome food with a menus you create, then this is the job for you! I don't feel like this is just another job, this is family. This family cares, and is from coast to coast and every where in between. The sorority and fraternity members are genuinely kind and caring. #bestjobeverlooknofurther

Greek House Chefs is the best company I have ever had the pleasure of working for. With their passion for service and the best quality food, they give support and trust each and every chef to express our talents for the sororities and fraternities across the country. They embrace family, life, and work and allow for balance in each, as well as providing a culture where chefs are just as excited to make the food as you would be to eat it. This truly is a 5star company!

Greek House Chefs is truly the best! They provide great quality food and service to my sorority at ISU. The food is always fresh and very delicious! Not only is the food great, but the chefs are amazing as well! They are always so nice and want to always make sure they can improve if possible. Highly recommend!

Having worked for Greek House Chefs for the past three years I can tell you what a fantastic and rare company they are, especially in the food service industry! This is a company that values high standards for their clients, but also values their employees and understands how important a work/life balance truly is. As a chef I am free to be creative, and have a truly supportive team backing me up. #bluecoatarmy

Greek House Chefs is my sorority's (Alpha Phi at ISU) main food service. They are so accommodating of women with allergies and they often ask the women in the house what we WANT to eat so that they can cater specifically to our desires. The chefs always help us set up for dinner and are so personable. We use them for meals at the house and many special chapter events (Mom's Day and Dad's Day), and we 100% plan to continue to do so :)

Greek House Chefs is a family oriented company that has allowed me to not only grow professionally, but personally as well. Everything they do is with their clients and employees best interests in mind. I feel blessed to have found them, and even more blessed to grow with them. Thank you GHC!
