Catering

With a culinary focus on local specialties, fresh ingredients, and attention to detail, we have unparalleled experience providing special event catering at cultural facilities. Our menus also feature local, organic, and sustainable selections, along with options for either eco-friendly china or bio-degradable disposables. As a full service caterer, we not only provide a wide range of menu options, but also complete theme development, including décor, rentals and entertainment coordination. From traditional picnic favorites, to extravagant galas, our staff can coordinate every detail!

Our one stop shopping structure allows us to package our events and market them to both the client directly, as well as the local event companies. We always work closely with the attraction marketing staff to help coordinate and support on-going marketing programs. We also help coordinate promotions to help encourage attendance.

We take great pride in our creative, thematic, food presentation. We not only design our menus around the theme, we also carry out the theme in our presentation of the food itself. Our expert staff will create a festive atmosphere in every detail of the event


Testimonials

The Pittsburgh Zoo’s experience with Service Systems Associates has been excellent in all aspects. Their national operations allow us to offer products of the quality and price we would not be able to match on our own. SSA is a very valuable and integral part of our Zoo family! — Dr. Barbara Baker, President & CEO - Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
