Are you a Rising Kitchens Customer? Understanding our Ideal Customer in Northern NJ

At Rising Kitchens, our mission has always been bigger than catering. We’re here to open doors for local chefs, bakers, and food entrepreneurs in Northern New Jersey, and to bring their incredible food directly to the people and organizations who value it most.

But who is the perfect Rising Kitchens customer?

We get this question often — especially from companies trying to understand whether we’re the right fit for their team lunches, events, or client gifts. So we created a simple Concentric Circles visual that captures exactly who we serve.

Spoiler: if you care about great food, local impact, and supporting your own community… you’re probably in the center.

The Three Qualities of a Rising Kitchens Customer

1. You appreciate sharing great food.

Our customers love treating others to meals that feel personal, flavorful, and crafted with care. Whether it’s corporate catering, fundraiser events, holiday gifts, or family gatherings, they value food that brings people together.

2. You care about doing good.

You want your dollars to mean something. When you order from Rising Kitchens, you’re supporting local entrepreneurs who are building businesses, supporting their families, and contributing to Northern NJ’s food ecosystem.

For many of our customers, the mission matters as much as the menu.

3. You live and work in New Jersey.

We proudly serve Northern NJ — because this is where our chefs live, work, and cook. Our customers are local organizations, schools, law firms, nonprofits, companies, and families who want to invest back into their community.

Wondering If You’re in Our Ideal Customer Segment?

Ask yourself:

• Do you or your company enjoy treating others to really great food?

• Do you prefer to support businesses that make a local impact?

• Do you live, work, or host events in Northern NJ?

If you answered yes, then you ARE our ideal customer.

You belong right in the center of those circles — the place where good food meets good intentions.

Why This Matters for Rising Kitchens (and for You)

Catering in Northern NJ is full of options — but very few combine quality, convenience, local sourcing, and community impact the way Rising Kitchens does.

When you order from us, you’re not just choosing a vendor.

You’re choosing to:

• support local food entrepreneurs

• uplift neighbors building their businesses

• bring authentic, small-batch cuisine to your office or event

• make catering meaningful

It’s food that tastes good and does good.

If You See Yourself in These Circles… Welcome.
