History

Established in 1994.

The Butler Did It Catering Co. was founded in 1994 by three young, enthusiastic entrepreneurs: Darryl Ray, Jamie, and Erin Avantini. Each partner brought knowledge from the different aspects of the Food & Beverage industry. Darryl and Erin worked together at The Brockhouse Restaurant on the West Side of Vancouver perfecting their front of house service, while Jamie was a Chef at the Westin Bayshore. It was during this time — while they were beginning to do some freelance off-​premise catering — that they came across a faltering catering/​food product business for sale. Soon enough with their profits, support of friends and family, and a minimally equipped 450 sq. foot kitchen, they were off and cooking!

Business Owner

By 1996, The Butler Did It Catering Co. had built a healthy customer base and had vastly outgrown their little starter kitchen. Darryl began the long and exhaustive search for a new location that would eventually include a café. Out of the blue, a brochure arrived in the mail offering an ideal commercial kitchen with a 16-​seat café for lease in Kitsilano. It was perfect. They moved into the premises in May, renovated, and opened for business in June of 1997. Over the 7 years in that location they nurtured a growing loyal catering clientele, and developed a great rapport with their neighbourhood by offering a consistent variety of healthy, delicious food.
