Since our inception in 1989, Rodney Couch, CEO & Founder of Preferred Hospitality, Inc. (PHI), the parent company of Provider Contract Food Service, Market Broiler and MB Grille Restaurants, has made it our goal to provide guests and clients alike with the highest level of hospitality and value possible.
Provider got its start in the Inland Empire assisting churches, schools, and local organizations in building reputable food service venues.
As we have grown, we have developed programs, designed dining halls, and taught others to self-operate. While most of our clients have asked us to recreate their dining programs, at the point of transition, we always step back and listen, then assess through collaboration. Our goal is to not disrupt the culture while working towards continuous improvement.
We have had the privilege of helping clients keep their core competence focused on their strategic goals while we develop food service plans that drive participation and satisfaction through enhanced dining experiences, high-quality ingredients, fresh food concepts, and great value offerings.
Provider has not only experienced loyalty from our clients but also unheard-of longevity of employment with our associates. Many of our team members started as student-workers attending the campuses we serve, and have moved on to the highest level of management.
Our team’s talents, integrity, and passion for upholding our mission of being the best food program are represented by the accolades from the students, and the high level of client satisfaction, which has allowed us to grow with clear intent.
