Culinary Ventures Service Group, Inc. was founded in 1940 and to date is one of the few remaining privately owned and operated foodservice management firms. In 1994, new owners purchased the assets of CVI Service Group, Inc. and we are now known as – Culinary Ventures Vending in the New York Metropolitan area. The new ownership provides the corporation with a strong financial base and years of business management experience. The core of Culinary Ventures’ management personnel have remained with our new owners and our operating philosophy remains the same….. Food & Vending Service Management/ Office Coffee Service.
