Randal Cantu                  CEO

As the second of seven children to Chief Warrant Officer Ricardo Cantu and his wife Verline, Randal grew up in a family with sixty years of military and foodservice experience.

Himself a sergeant in the United States Army, Randal was recognized in 1977 for his achievements by being awarded The Army Commendation Medal, which distinguished him for his outstanding performance, professionalism, sound judgment, determination, enthusiasm, meritorious service, and devotion to mission accomplishment while assigned to the 82nd Airborne Combat Division.

Following in his father’s entrepreneurial footsteps, Randy incorporated Cantu Foods Coffee and Vending in 1990 with a mission to introduce military precision and efficiency into food and refreshment services for the private sector.

Randal is a former Director of the GDHCC and an active member of Dallas’ Hispanic community. His continued hands-on leadership of Cantu Foods Coffee and Vending ensures that all members of the Cantu staff maintain the same quality standards of reliable, prompt, and friendly service on which the company was founded.
