Hear what Epic's employees have to say about Chef Eric Rupert and the culinary team
If Epic Systems’ food service is intended to complement employees’ life and work styles, it’s clearly working. We asked several for their views. (Interestingly, Epic asked us not to use last names, as it makes it more difficult for competitors to poach the company’s talent.)
"I work in legal here at Epic, but I have a culinary background as well. Good food keeps employees happy—and on campus, that means we have
more time to make better software for our customers. However, it took me
longer to recognize the benefits to the culinary staff. When you no
longer have to worry about making money, you have the freedom to focus
entirely on the food. Every good cook I know wants nothing more than to
prepare food they are proud of. Eric and his crew … do it very well,
indeed.

"As an event planner at Epic I get to experience Epic’s culinary team on
a lot of different levels. Not only am I a daily lunch patron but I
also work closely with Eric and his team on the logistics of our
customer and internal events. Much like the artwork that fills the
campus, the menu that Eric’s team puts together offers surprises each
day. That variety adds a bit of spark—part anticipation (what’s the
special today?), part curiosity (I’ve never tried that before)—to the
day that provides a nice boost. On the events side, Eric has been a
leader in pulling off seemingly impossible culinary feats for thousands
of our customers.

"I have the pleasure of hiring for Epic’s culinary team (as their
recruiter) and of working with Eric quite closely in the process. Epic
and its staff are changing health care, and the culinary team fuels
Epic’s staff and therefore that change. They do high-quality work at a
fast pace, and they consistently put their customers first. They are
inspiring, and they always make me smile to boot. I know that no matter
what challenge I’m tackling in my day to day, the resource of a
wonderful lunchtime meal is just a building away.

"One of my favorite perks of working at Epic is Cassiopeia, our fantastic
employee dining facility. Most of the lunches I’ve had in Cassiopeia are
as good as or better than what I can get in many of Madison’s fine
dining restaurants. The staff is passionate about preparing attractive,
delicious food every day. Each dish’s presentation shows the care and
pride that goes into the food. Working with co-workers so committed to
their craft is a true privilege and pleasure.
