Highlands Ranch, Colorado
Highlands Ranch Waffle Catering, from Teacher Breakfasts to Swim Meets
Highlands Ranch is a master-planned community in Douglas County, and most of our events there have been for its schools: staff breakfasts during appreciation weeks and end-of-year carnivals, with summer swim meets in between.
What Highlands Ranch events look like
Since spring 2026 we've catered 11 events in Highlands Ranch, mostly school events and youth sports tournaments.
Highlands Ranch schools are part of the Douglas County School District. Appreciation committees usually want service to start before the first bell, and our crew arrives early enough to have waffles ready when doors open.
The Highlands Ranch Community Association runs the recreation centers and pools, and summer swim meets there draw families for hours. That suits a waffle station, which keeps cooking to order rather than sitting in chafing dishes.
Many Highlands Ranch addresses carry a Littleton mailing label. Either way, the package is the same.
Typical venues
- Elementary and middle school staff lounges
- School fields for carnivals
- Recreation center pool decks and lawns (where the facility allows food)
- Community parks for neighborhood events
