Our Story
Established in 2005, Cardinal Culinary Services (Cardinal) began as a small catering company serving the Gulf of Mexico. Over the past 20 years, we have grown into a trusted provider both domestic and international-standard catering, housekeeping, laundry, and facility support services—serving both onshore and offshore environments across a variety of industries.
At Cardinal, our mission is simple: to make exceptional service feel seamless. We deliver consistent, dependable support through a team of professionals who meet U.S. Coast Guard Fit for Duty physical standards and/or hold current Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training (BOISET) certifications and operate in full compliance with the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006, reinforcing our commitment to fair working conditions, crew welfare, and adherence to internationally recognized maritime labor standards. This ensures our personnel are fully capable, qualified, and prepared to perform effectively in any environment—across the globe.
Whether supporting a crew of 8 or managing large-scale operations for over 2,000 personnel, clients rely on Cardinal for clean, comfortable accommodations, freshly prepared meals, and well-maintained living space environments that promote focus, morale, and productivity.
Our operational excellence is driven by a highly experienced team and a culture rooted in accountability, professionalism, and attention to detail. From executive leadership to frontline staff, we take pride in recruiting and training the right people to uphold the highest standards of care. We enforce stringent quality control measures to ensure we exceed expectations on every project.
With deep expertise in both domestic and international market, we understand that offshore crews have three primary responsibilities: dining, resting and occupation responsibilities. At Cardinal, we take ownership of two of those—dining and resting—knowing that they are well-fed, well-rested crews are essential to safe and successful operations. No matter the location, scale, or complexity, Cardinal delivers reliable, responsive service, cost effectiveness—ensuring the right resources reach the right people at the right time.
Rooted in a tradition of Southern hospitality, our company culture reflects happy, healthy & productive manners. These values continue to guide how we serve today, creating clean, safe, and welcoming environments that support the health, well-being, and productivity of every team we serve.
Our commitment is clear: to exceed client expectations at every level.
