Show up when an office manager searches for catering
When an office manager searches for catering nearby, your restaurant should be in the results. We build you a catering ordering page made for those searches, with the packages, minimums and lead time buyers look for, so the people who actually book catering - office managers, EAs and HR teams - can order without a phone call.

Direct order
No marketplace commission
Illustrative $500 pickup order, excluding tax and tips. Uses 15% marketplace commission and assumes the same 2.99% processing on both orders to isolate the $75 commission difference. Your direct processing rate may differ. Food, labor, software and customer acquisition costs are excluded; these amounts are not profit.
We plug into your system. Or you can plug into ours.
Already have a POS or ordering system? We work with it. Don't have one? We include a branded ordering page, order management dashboard, and delivery logistics - no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
$400/month, flat. No commissions, no setup fees, month-to-month, and cancel anytime. We refund month 1 in full if you don't continue to month 2. Multi-location pricing available on a call.
What kind of restaurants is this for?
Restaurants that already do some catering (or want to start) but don't have the bandwidth to actively grow it. Fast-casual, BBQ, Mediterranean, delis, sandwich shops, and Mexican restaurants are strong fits because they cater well to offices.
Why don't you charge commission instead of a flat fee?
Because commission would turn us into a marketplace, and that changes the whole relationship. To take a cut of every order, we would have to force you onto our platform and own the customer ourselves. A flat fee keeps us aligned: we plug into your existing system, you keep the customer, and when your catering grows, 100% of the upside is yours.
What if we're already on ezCater or other marketplaces?
Great. We work alongside those channels while building your direct ordering pipeline. Over time, we help shift marketplace orders to your own platform so you keep more of every dollar and own your customer relationships.
How do restaurants get more catering orders?
Restaurants get more catering orders by making the offer easy to buy, showing up for local catering searches, reaching nearby business buyers, promoting catering to existing guests, and following up with past customers. We build that system for you so catering growth does not depend on one lucky channel.
Do we need to already have a catering menu?
No. We'll help you build one. Send us your regular menu and we'll design catering packages, set per-person pricing, and create a professional ordering page.
We already have a POS / ordering system. How does this work?
We can plug into your existing setup, including Toast, Square, your own website, or whatever you are using. Or you can use our built-in ordering platform. Either way, orders flow into your kitchen the way you are used to.
We have multiple locations. Can you handle that?
Yes. We build a separate outreach strategy for each location based on its local market. Multi-location pricing is available, and we can put together a plan that covers all your restaurants.
How quickly will we see results?
Most restaurants see their first new catering orders within 2-4 weeks. Building a consistent pipeline of corporate accounts typically takes 2-3 months.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Month-to-month. We earn your business every month, not lock you in.
Ready to see what your catering channel is missing?
Start with your restaurant name. The audit will use your Google Place ID when selected, so duplicate names and franchises land on the right location.
$400/month.
