Happy Fall…and Soup Season from Coolbaker’s

October 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It's soup season at Coolbaker'sDon’t let the door hit ya on the way out, summer 2011. We’ve had just about enough heat and humidity for one season, so we’re welcoming fall with open arms…and pot-loads of fresh, homemade soup and chili.

If there’s one thing that can comfort a cold office on a chilly fall day, it’s soup. The official first day of fall was Friday, September 23, so we thought now would be a perfect time to introduce our soups for the season. But first, did you know that evidence of the existence of soup can be found as far back as 6,000 BC? The first condensed soup, however, was invented by John T. Dorrance, a chemist with the Campbell Soup Company, in 1897.

While everyone knows and loves Campbell’s for a number of reasons, fresh soups are always the way to go. So instead of bringing a can of your own to work, consider ordering in…from Coolbaker’s. We will proudly be serving up the following selections during fall and winter.

  • Loaded Baked Potato Soup
  • Home Style Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Spicy White Chicken Chili

They’re yummy, satisfying, and go great with a side salad, sandwich, or wrap.

Don’t send the intern out on a cold day to pick up food for the office (even he deserves to stay warm). Order from us and we’ll deliver your order to you on time, every time.

What do Fall and Coolbaker’s Have in Common?

September 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Fresh food delivered on timeWhat in the world does a business-to-business catering company have in common with one of the four seasons? Aside from being, well, cool, there are plenty of things we share with this awesome time of the year.

Here are a few of them:

  • Crowd pleasing. Almost everyone I know loves autumn for one reason or another. Maybe it’s because college football is starting and people are gearing up for Halloween festivities and upcoming holidays. People who have tried us love our crowd-pleasing choice of sandwiches, salads, breakfast, and desserts. Menu options everyone has heard of and food that most everyone loves.
  • Perfect colors. Yes, I’m talking about the leaves and the changing color outside. Luckily, though, the ingredients we use never change color, it would be a bad thing if they did. That’s why you’ll always see fresh—and perfectly colored—lettuce, tomatoes, meat, bread, and cheese.
  • Always on time. Fall is like clockwork each year, rarely late to appear. The same can be said for our delivery drivers. We deliver your food on time, every time.

See, you didn’t think it was possible, but we actually have plenty in common with fall. And by the way, now’s a perfect time to give us a try if you haven’t yet. We deliver whether it’s cold or freezing cold outside, and we always deliver on time. Love fall? How could you not love us too?

Coolbaker’s was cooked up to solve a problem in business-to-business catering

August 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

If you’re like most people, you may wonder how a business like Coolbaker’s got its start.

We won’t keep you in the dark. Coolbaker’s—like many small businesses—got its start with an idea to improve upon something. In our other business Directec, (feel free to buy from us there as well) we used to order food for a lot of lunches and meetings. Well, we actually still order food, but now we order from ourselves. We got tired of the (insert your own term) we were being served. Not just the quality of the food, but the intangibles like wrong orders, late orders, bad hand-offs, manual orders, poor caddying…I mean poor customer service.

So rather than sit on the sidelines, David Jarnigan and his wife Colleen founded Coolbaker’s in 2001. Since that time they have expanded beyond Louisville, KY to operate in three other markets. In 2002 they opened up in Cincinnati, OH and Indianapolis, IN. One year later they opened a location in Nashville, TN.

Coolbaker’s has been providing a memorable catering experience for business customers ever since they opened. We don’t do residential, by the way. And isn’t it nice when someone specializes every now and then? Some of the ways we make that experience memorable is by having one central call center, online ordering, order memorization, well-trained consultants who don’t just take orders, and a 99% percent on-time delivery rate. There’s more that makes us different, but we have other blog posts marinating.

Well there you have it. Wanna try it?

P.S. This blog will be a new way to communicate with our customers. We want to provide relevant information to our community. Let us know how we can do it better.

P.S.S If you haven’t ordered lately, or if you just stumbled on Coolbaker’s for the first time, why not pick up the phone or fill out a form? Make your next business meal a success!
