About Social Express Catering & Meal Prep (SECMP)
Feeding Atlanta with Flavor, Nutrition & Heart
Social Express Catering & Meal Prep (SECMP) is a high-volume, chef-led food service company based in Metro Atlanta. We deliver bold flavor, nutritional integrity, and tailored experiences through three pillars: high-end event catering, healthy prepared meals, and youth/community meal programs. Whether we're curating a luxury wedding menu, supporting busy professionals with chef-prepped meals, or serving thousands of children through government-funded programs—our promise is the same: real food, made with care, designed to elevate, nourish, and connect.
Our Story
SECMP was founded by Chef Jarvis Williams, a chef and entrepreneur with a passion for global cuisine and community impact. What began as a local meal prep concept quickly scaled into a multi-service culinary operation driven by demand for quality, consistency, and creativity. Chef Jarvis’ wife, Zaria Williams, RN, serves as COO & Chief of Nutrition. With her clinical background, Zaria ensures all offerings—from plated dinners to kids meals—meet rigorous standards for safety, health, and compliance. Together, they’ve built a business that’s just as comfortable catering weddings as it is managing citywide feeding contracts.
What We Do
• Event Catering: From weddings and milestone celebrations to nonprofit galas, corporate lunches, film sets, and private chef dinners—our team executes events with tiered service options ranging from drop-off to full-service.
• Healthy Meal Prep: Chef-crafted, nutritionally balanced meals designed for athletes, busy families, healthcare workers, and wellness-focused clients. Subscription and bulk orders available.
• Contract Meal Service (CACFP & Community Feeding): We produce and deliver high-quality, reimbursable meals that meet all federal/state guidelines. Kid-tested, culturally inclusive, and fully compliant.
• Specialty & Therapeutic Menus: Need allergen-friendly, vegetarian, Halal, or texture-modified options? Our team can develop customized solutions that meet medical or cultural needs.
