Thomas Cuisine

Thomas Cuisine is a wellness-driven food service management company that provides customized dining solutions for healthcare systems, senior living communities, corporate dining environments, and independent schools. Founded in 1986 by Thad Thomas in Meridian, Idaho, the company was established on the principle that food service could be delivered with a focus on genuine care and high-quality ingredients. Over the decades, Thomas Cuisine has evolved from a small operation into a significant player in the contract food service industry, distinguishing itself through a steadfast commitment to its 'REAL food' mission.

The company's culinary philosophy centers on scratch-cooking and the use of fresh, naturally sourced ingredients, avoiding processed foods and preservatives. This approach is designed to promote healing and well-being, viewing food as a vital component of health ('food as medicine'). Thomas Cuisine partners with local farms and ranches to ensure transparency and quality in its supply chain. Beyond the plate, the organization emphasizes a people-first culture, investing in the growth and development of its team members, including chefs, dietitians, and service staff. By combining culinary excellence with a dedication to service and integrity, Thomas Cuisine aims to make a meaningful, positive difference in the lives of the people and communities it serves.
