In 2019, we completed over 90 catering events throughout the calendar year with guest counts ranging from 50-500 guests. The depth of experience we have within our core team as well as our hourly staff builds a foundation for success for all our events. Grand Cru Hospitality offers the finest of food and service available. A service of luxury and precision, but also comfort and warmth. The details and finishing touches of our final product differentiate us from our competition. We understand the limited-use requirements set by Washington County and can adhere to all requests to obtain or have the licenses stated in the request for proposal in section 6. Please see the licenses already obtained attached. Grand Cru Hospitality is a diverse company with several ways in which we offer our services. We currently are the exclusive food partner for StormBreaker Brewing which has two locations, one on Mississippi Ave and another in St. Johns on Lombard. They are bustling breweries where we prepare pub fare for both locations. In addition to the breweries we manage two cafes. One located in Washington Park at the Portland Children’s Museum, offering snacks and lunch items for its staff, the school located within the museum as well as the museums patrons. Our other Café is located at Wieden + Kennedy, a premiere advertisement agency located in the Pearl District in Downton Portland. The café is available exclusively to Wieden + Kennedy’s 600 employees. In addition to the café at Wieden + Kennedy we do execute catering at this location as needed to up to 500 guests. Summer of 2020 we will be adding another brewery to our portfolio which will be in Northwest Portland with another local craft brewery. In addition to our daily cafes and breweries our catering department executes roughly a third of our revenue for the business. Grand Cru Hospitality is committed to providing the finest food and hospitality available. We strive to enhance our clients’ most memorable celebrations and are passionate about our relationships with our clients and guests. We are preferred caterers at premiere venues in the Portland Metro area and most of our catering business is acquired by word of mouth referrals or repeat business. These catering events range from corporate receptions, non-profit galas and fundraisers, school fundraisers as well as weddings and other social gatherings. We have worked with large companies in the area such as: Nike, Intel, Adidas, Columbia Sportswear, Oregon Children’s Theatre, Metropolitan Youth Symphony, Technology Association of Oregon along with many others. We have roughly 80 staff on our payroll, this includes brewery and cafe staff along with our on-call catering team. The business is owned and operated by Patrick Miller, Chef-Owner and Alex Chong Owner-Operator. Nick Stevens is our Operations Manager and facilitates our café and catering operations. Katie Kearn is our Catering Sales Manager and oversees all sales, planning and management of our catering events. This is the core management team, from there

We regularly involved local small businesses in the planning and execution of an event. Local meat companies, rental companies, bakeries, flower growers, coffee roasters and wine and beer producers just to name a few, of the small businesses we partner with. We have helped other vendors grow by incorporating their products into our menus or plans. We have also mentored others in our area of expertise to help them grow their professional
talents. We have employed many teens with the opportunity for their first job with flexible hours to keep up with their studies. All of these promote positive growth and prosperity in our community.
