In 2004, two friends with a passion for exploring and eating opened the first Café Zupas in Provo, Utah. Today, more than 55 restaurants across ten states follow the same recipe for success: real meals, crafted from scratch. Cafe Zupas relies on their 647 employees to help carry out their vision. The Phoenix metro consists of Maricopa and Pinal counties, and includes more than 30 incorporated and more than 30 unincorporated towns and cities. As of 2020, Metro Phoenix had 4.8 million residents, making it the nation’s 11thlargest metropolitan area.
