Jim Osterhaven

Paul has spent 20 years in the food business in many capacities: a Kitchen Manager, a Restaurant Manager, a General Manager, a Food Service Director in the Canteen business, and in Food Service sales. In other words, he has walked in his customers' . He knows how difficult it is to create a new menu, why hiring and firing can drive the sanest manager over the edge, and why manipulating the fine line between offering the highest service level to stay profitable is so much better than worrying about bankruptcy.

Paul's first comment about why he is proud of Superior Foods is that it is not a "big machine". We don't take our customers for granted and that "going the extra mile" is what Superior does. For himself, being reliable while bringing customers new and fresh ideas is much more than being an order taker.

His goal is to be the consultant that can help his chefs and restaurants try something different - the something that makes customers willing to stand in line to enjoy it. Paul wants his customers to believe in and trust his knowledge, his concern for their success and his dedication. His promise is that neither he nor Superior will be a "Me, too".
