San Leandro, CA — November 6, 2025 — Office Libations, a leading provider of workplace food and beverage programs, has been named to the prestigious Vet100 list, which recognizes the 100 fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses in the United States.
The award, presented in partnership by IVMF at Syracuse University, Inc. Magazine, and the Inc. 5000, honors veteran entrepreneurs whose businesses have demonstrated rapid growth, operational excellence, and meaningful impact.
“As a Navy veteran, I built Office Libations on the same values I learned in the service—accountability, care, and execution,” said Claude Burns, Founder and CEO. “This recognition is more than a business milestone. It’s a reminder that when you lead with purpose and operate with discipline, the results follow.”
A Veteran-Founded Company with a Mission to Modernize Workplace Hospitality
Office Libations was founded with a simple but ambitious goal: to make workplace food and beverage programs more effective, transparent, and human. What began in a single Bay Area warehouse has grown into a national operation—now supporting modern offices across Denver, Austin, and most recently, New York City.
But this isn’t your average snack delivery service. What sets Office Libations apart is its end-to-end model that tightly integrates proprietary technology with in-house operations—ensuring clients get more control, more consistency, and fewer surprises. In a category where many vendors rely on fragmented third-party logistics, Office Libations brings everything under one roof.
For high-growth companies managing hybrid schedules and distributed teams, that difference matters. It’s not just about delivering snacks—it’s about building reliable systems that scale as your business does.
Clients benefit from:
- Real-time transparency with same-day reporting on inventory, consumption, and costs
- Curated, high-quality product menus aligned with company culture, dietary needs, and team preferences
- Hands-on service from dedicated account managers and on-site merchandisers
- Scalable programs that ensure a consistent experience across multiple locations
- Full equipment support for coffee, kegerators, refrigeration, and more
“As a People Ops leader, I’ve never seen this level of detail and visibility before,” said one HR Director at a Bay Area fintech company. “Office Libations feels like an extension of our team—not just a vendor dropping off boxes.”
This holistic approach reflects the values that Claude Burns, the company’s Founder & CEO, brought with him from the U.S. Navy—where operational excellence, clear communication, and service to others were the foundation of every mission.
A Recognition That Hits Close to Home
This year, Office Libations was honored as one of the Vet100 fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses in the country—a distinction awarded by Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) in partnership with Inc. Magazine.
For Burns and the entire team, this recognition holds personal meaning. It’s more than a milestone—it’s a validation of the principles that shaped the company from the beginning.
“Veteran’s Day has always been important to us,” said Burns. “This honor is a reminder that service-based values—like accountability, discipline, and respect—don’t just belong in the military. They belong in business, too.”
That mindset shows up in every layer of the company’s culture: no shortcuts, no excuses, and a shared commitment to delivering consistently excellent service. From warehouse teams to client success managers, it’s clear that care and accountability are baked into how the work gets done.
Built for the Needs of Modern Offices
The company’s latest expansion into New York City is more than just geographic growth—it’s a strategic response to the increasing demand from companies that want consistency across East and West Coast offices. With a new operations hub in North Bergen, NJ, Office Libations is positioned to serve the entire NYC metro area with the same speed and service quality that has defined its success in the Bay Area.
“We saw a market filled with outdated models and underserved clients,” said Burns. “In NYC, where expectations are high and time is short, companies need a partner they can trust to just handle it—without hidden fees, confusing systems, or dropped balls.”
Today, Office Libations works with some of the most well-known, fast-scaling companies in tech, finance, and media—businesses that demand a partner who understands operational complexity, cultural nuance, and the value of a well-run breakroom.
Looking Ahead
As the definition of the workplace evolves, Office Libations remains focused on one thing: making food and beverage programs that support people—at scale.
From energizing hybrid teams with fresh cold brew, to creating pantry programs that actually reflect company values, the company’s mission hasn’t changed: Make workplace hospitality effortless, consistent, and genuinely valued.
“We didn’t set out to build a national company,” said Burns. “We set out to do things right. Growth was just the outcome of that.”
