Live The Dream
Since our founding in 1987, we have been guided by The Dream, a mission statement crafted by CEO and cofounder Fedele Bauccio:
Our Dream is to be the premier onsite restaurant company known for its culinary expertise and commitment to socially responsible practices. We are a culture driven to create food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch using authentic ingredients. We do this in a socially responsible manner for the well-being of our guests, communities, and the environment.
Together with our partners, we create engaging, appetizing food experiences that each authentically reflect their values and feel like an extension of their institutional identities. With Bon Appétit, food is never an afterthought. Our dream lives in every scrape, clink, laugh, smile, and conversation over great food, from kitchens and counters to cafés, carts, and cafeterias—because of the right choices. Our food is cooked from scratch, including sauces, stocks, and soups. We’ve pioneered environmentally sound sourcing policies, developing programs addressing local purchasing, overuse of antibiotics, sustainable seafood, the food–climate change connection, humanely raised meat and eggs, and farmworkers’ rights. We’re grateful to have been recognized by many leading foundations, nonprofits, and industry associations for our work.
Make meaningful food choices
At Bon Appétit, we are leading the path toward a sustainable future. Sustainability drives everything we do, pushing us to innovate ways to eliminate waste, source healthy ingredients, and cook food that’s flavorful and that makes our food system better. These choices are not isolated—they are part of an integrated philosophy that drives better flavors, more vibrant cultures, and more satisfying decisions for your community.
