What's actually in the box
It's the system we use to run catering at our own restaurant. Here's what you get.
Build a quote, send it, your customer approves with one click. No email chains, no phone tag, no lost PDFs.
52% of our orders are repeats. That's not luck — customers reorder from their history in seconds.
Customers describe their group, get a suggested order built from your actual menu items and prices.
Office catering runs on payment terms. Cards, invoices, split billing — however your customers need to pay.
Print a prep sheet with quantities, dietary notes, and delivery details. Your kitchen doesn't need to dig through emails.
No auto-accept surprises. You see the order, check your capacity, and confirm when you're ready.
Not on EzCater? If you're managing catering by email and spreadsheet, or locked into Toast, we built this for you too.
We set up your catering menu on Caterbaby. Takes a day, not weeks.
Send customers to your branded ordering page. No marketplace, no middleman.
Review, approve, assign, track. You run your catering, we handle the plumbing.
No commitment, no contracts.
