MetroCorp Dining

Eat. Work. Socialize.

Founded in 1995, MetroCorp Dining has been at the heart of employee wellness for nearly three decades. What started as a single cafeteria in our flagship building has grown into a multi-building dining experience, offering a diverse range of culinary options to thousands of employees every day. Over the years, our focus has remained the same: to provide fresh, nutritious, and delicious meals that help fuel the productivity and well-being of our workforce.


At MetroCorp, we believe that dining is more than just food—it’s a vital part of the workplace culture. Our chefs work tirelessly to create menus that not only satisfy hunger but also promote healthy eating and sustainable practices. With seasonal menu rotations and locally sourced ingredients, we strive to bring the best dining experience to our employees, day in and day out.
