Can you tell us how and why you started your business?
Osiyo Catering was created from our shared love of food and the joy it brings to people. As a husband-and-wife team, we turned countless meals cooked side by side into a calling—building a business rooted in passion, hard work and connection. Every dish we serve is made with care, intention and a deep respect for the stories food tells.

We understand the demands of fast-paced environments and pride ourselves on being reliable, flexible and deeply attentive to the people we serve. Every meal and service is delivered with intention, professionalism and respect—for the craft, the culture and the crew.
How has your company grown to meet the needs of Oklahoma’s film and/or music industries over the last 3-5 years?
Over the last 3–5 years, Osiyo Catering has grown alongside Oklahoma’s film industry by becoming faster, more flexible and more production-ready. We’ve expanded our ability to serve crews in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City, while building systems that support early call times, long days and changing schedules. We strengthened our on-site service capabilities, increased our capacity for high-volume meals and developed dependable crafty support to keep sets fueled all day.

What are the benefits of basing your company’s operations in Oklahoma?
Basing our operations in Oklahoma allows us to offer production teams a powerful combination of quality, efficiency and meaningful cost savings. With a growing film industry, strong state incentive programs and a highly collaborative production community, Oklahoma makes it possible to work smart and move quickly. Operating locally means reduced travel, lodging and freight costs, faster response times and fewer logistical hurdles—savings that directly benefit production budgets. Our deep familiarity with regional crews, locations and vendors allows us to anticipate needs and solve problems before they impact the day. Most importantly, being based in Oklahoma allows us to deliver consistent, high-quality food and dependable service while supporting the local economy and strengthening the film community that makes production here so successful.

More importantly, we’ve positioned our company for the future—expanding our capacity, refining our systems and continuously investing in our craft so we can grow alongside the industry and meet the evolving needs of productions for years to come.
Are there any recent successes your company would like to highlight related to work within the Oklahoma film and music industries?
In recent years, we’ve experienced meaningful growth that directly supports the needs of Oklahoma’s film industry. We’ve been blessed to purchase a new commercial kitchen, acquire an additional food trailer that allows us to operate fully on-set and establish a second location in Oklahoma City. These milestones have strengthened our ability to serve productions more efficiently, respond quickly to changing schedules and support larger crews across multiple regions of the state. Each step has been taken with intention, ensuring we continue to grow in a way that benefits both the productions we serve and the film community as a whole.
What are you working on now/next?
We’re currently focused on expanding our on-set capabilities and strengthening our systems to support larger and more complex productions. This includes fully integrating our new commercial kitchen and food trailer, growing our Oklahoma City presence, and continuing to refine our menus, workflows and craft service offerings. Looking ahead, our goal is to scale thoughtfully—adding capacity, investing in our team and equipment and remaining flexible so we can continue to meet the evolving needs of Oklahoma’s growing film industry while delivering the consistent, high-quality service we’re known for.
What is your goal/vision for the future of your company?
Our vision is to continue building Osiyo Catering into a trusted, production-ready partner not only in Oklahoma, but nationwide. As we grow, our goal is to expand our reach while maintaining the heart of what makes us who we are—thoughtful food, reliable service and genuine care for the crews we serve. We aim to scale intentionally by investing in our people, infrastructure and systems, allowing us to support productions of all sizes across the country while remaining rooted in the values and craftsmanship that built our company.
What advice do you have for others who are considering starting a film or music business in Oklahoma?
Our advice is to start with humility, consistency and a deep respect for the industry. Oklahoma’s film community is collaborative but close-knit, and your reputation will travel quickly—so show up prepared, be reliable and take care of people. Learn the pace of production, understand the long hours and build systems that can handle change without panic. Invest in relationships with local crew, vendors and film offices, and don’t rush growth before your foundation is solid. Oklahoma rewards businesses that are committed, adaptable and willing to grow alongside the industry, not just profit from it.
What opportunities do you believe await Oklahoma’s film/music industry in the future?
We see Oklahoma’s film industry evolving into a true creative home—a place where productions don’t just pass through, but put down roots. As infrastructure, talent and local businesses continue to grow, Oklahoma has the opportunity to become a nationally recognized hub for filmmaking that supports long-term careers, not just individual projects. The collaborative spirit here allows for innovation, mentorship and sustainability, creating space for new voices and bold storytelling. The future feels expansive, and I believe Oklahoma is positioned to build something lasting that benefits both the industry and the communities that support it.
