Our Impact in

Columbus Ohio

Access & Equality for All

Simply Plated was started from a love of preparing creative, delicious food while also providing convenience and quality. The reality is many communities lack adequate access to a quality food source and deal with food insecurity daily, limiting their ability to provide nutrient-dense meals to their family.

This is why Simply Plated is committed to giving back and reinvesting into these same communities through our buy one, give one initiative.

Purchasing a meal or catering from Simply Plated helps provide meals to several community organizations focused on fighting insecurity and ensuring everyone has access to quality food. We are honored to partner with organizations like World Central Kitchen, St. Stephen’s Community House, the YWCA Family Center and other similar organuzations to provide meals with meaning to those they serve.

Catering Reviews

Sheryl C.

Absolutely would recommend Simply Plated for any catering needs you might have now or in the future. We ordered from them for a baby shower and everyone raved about how great the sandwiches were, and they delivered everything for us. Ashley even customized boxes for us to serve to the children that attended. Would give them 10 stars if we could!

We ordered Simply Plated to fill our Thanksgiving table. I had never had a holiday catered before but will not hesitate to do it again. The homemade food was exceptionally delicious - and the portions were quite generous! Simply Plated allowed me to relax and enjoy the day. Additionally, the staff were warm and professional with the contacts I had. I highly recommend Simply Plated and have given friends gift certificates to use when dealing with health issues. My thanks to the culinary professionals at Simply Plated!

I needed catering services for both corporate lunch events and community suppers. Not only was Simply Plated able to develop great menu option variety, they also were responsive to my questions and flexible with company-specific requests. I will use them again and I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.
