Restaurant Catering Software

Your restaurant already makes great food. Now it's time to make catering easy for your customers — and profitable for your business.

FlashCater is catering software built specifically for restaurants. No marketplace commissions, no complex enterprise tools you'll never use. Just a clean, powerful platform that lets you accept online catering orders and manage everything in one place.

Why restaurants need dedicated catering software

Catering isn't just "a bigger takeout order." It involves:

• Custom menus with per-person pricing, minimums, and lead times
• Advance scheduling — orders placed days or weeks ahead
• Order modifications and special dietary requests
• Payment handling — deposits, invoicing, and corporate billing
• Delivery coordination for large orders

Your POS system wasn't designed for this. A spreadsheet can't scale with it. If any of this sounds familiar, here are 7 signs it's time for dedicated catering software.

What FlashCater does for your restaurant

Online catering ordering

Give your customers a branded online ordering page where they can browse your catering menu, customize their order, choose a date and time, and pay — all without calling your restaurant.

Order management dashboard

See all upcoming catering orders in one place. Filter by date, status, or order size. Get automatic confirmations and reminders so nothing falls through the cracks.

Custom catering menus

Build menus designed for catering — with per-person pricing, package deals, minimum order amounts, lead time requirements, and modifier options. Update your menu anytime.

Zero commissions

Unlike marketplaces that take 15-25% of every order, FlashCater charges a flat monthly fee. You keep 100% of your catering revenue. See how we compare in our best catering software roundup.

Payment processing

Accept credit cards, handle deposits for large orders, and generate invoices for corporate accounts — all built in.
