Gourmet Inflight Catering’s mission from day one has been to achieve perfection in quality, presentation and service with every single order. To consistently maintain VIP quality with each item, every tray, every platter, every appetizer and every entrée down to the garnish kit is made to order. This focus on every different order makes Gourmet Inflight unique because all customers get what they want versus every customer getting the same tray or platter. This process makes it possible to address all special requests, such as:

  • Allergies
  • Vegetarian
  • Vegan
  • Gluten-free

Even though Gourmet Inflight offers a sample menu, it accepts all suggestions and recipes. The highly trained staff can assist customers in customizing menus that will keep culinary tastes fresh, light and exciting. Some of the other items and services Gourmet Inflight provides are:

  • Extensive wine list and alcoholic beverages
  • Local and domestic newspapers and magazines
  • Flower arrangements
  • Sushi and sashimi
  • Kosher food
  • Ethnic food
  • Hand-printed menus
  • Dry ice
  • China and linens

Gourmet Inflight is committed to stay green, and every effort is made to maintain an environmentally friendly operation. The majority of purchases are made from local growers, and organic products are used as they are available. Almost all packaging materials are made from recycled items.

Gourmet Inflight is also involved in helping the local community along with its sister company Martini Grill Restaurant. Gourmet Inflight works through organizations such as Table to Table, which provides food to needy families, and the local Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce.
