Buona Restaurants, created in 1981, represents the Company's first division established in Berwyn, Illinois. Since then, the chain has expanded to seventeen locations varying in size from 3,000 square feet to 5,500 square feet. The casual, upscale quick service restaurants feature the world famous, award winning "Buona" Italian RoastBeef sandwiches for lunch and dinner. The menu also includes authentic Neapolitan pizza, hand tossed salads, café sandwiches and grilled Panini. The newer restaurants are brightly colored with the feel of a fresh market or kitchen, showcasing real food in a warm, comfortable dining room with seating for 90-150 guests. Featuring a drive-thru and a carryout section, take-out orders make up approximately 50% of sales at any given restaurant. Additionally, Buona's Catering Counters, conveniently located within each restaurant, offer customers bulk Italian Beef and other prepared foods by the pound. Buona Catering, created in 1982, provides customers with off premises catering and comprehensive service. A very broad menu, including various buffets, are coordinated by our professional party planners and offered for many social and corporate clients. The Buona Catering division now operates in a newly renovated 28,000 square foot facility, including sales office, kitchen commissary and a distribution center. Catering customers include many well known organizations, such as Anderson Consulting, Arrow Electronics, Chicago Transit Authority, Regent Products, SEIU Local 1, McDonald's, Pepsi Cola, United Airlines, as well as many others.
