In 1979, Susan Mendelson opened the doors of The Lazy Gourmet, one of Vancouver’s first catering companies. Since that time, the company’s focus on providing the highest quality food, sustainability, community, and outstanding service has solidified its reputation as a leader in the catering and events industry. In 2023, The Lazy Gourmet joined the family at Compass Group Canada, the worlds largest food service provider.
Throughout its expansive four-decade history, The Lazy Gourmet has showcased its unparalleled capability in orchestrating food and beverage programs for events with attendees ranging from a cozy 10 to an impressive 10,000 individuals daily. This breadth of service encompasses catering for a diverse array of clients, including multinational corporations and notable sporting events. Highlights of their portfolio include providing corporate hospitality during the 2010 Olympic Games, supporting events like Lululemon’s SeaWheeze, the innovative Solana Hacker House, and the high-profile LPGA CPKC Woman’s Open Golf Tournament, which attracted 60,000 spectators over a span of five days.
The synergy between The Lazy Gourmet’s legacy of culinary innovation and Compass Group’s global prowess creates an unmatched force in Vancouver’s catering and events industry, leveraging Compass’s vast resources, extensive network, and operational expertise. Compass Group’s involvement in some of the world’s most prestigious and marquee events, such as the Grammy’s, Coachella, Wimbledon and the Superbowl underscores its ability to deliver exceptional service and quality on an incredible scale.
