Vendor Business Development Representative

Cater2.me was founded in 2010 with the goal of connecting inspired kitchens with the masses.

We've set out on a mission to connect companies with the local food scene, to give them a better, more wholesome sense of the small businesses around them. We enable these relationships through a mix of technology and committed customer service. No longer are you only able to read about the hottest chefs and food startups while at work – we're bringing them into your offices and homes.

Cater2.me stands for curated quality and variety, trusted service, and dead-simple ordering. At Cater2.me, Your Catering is Our Business!

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
