Your catering customers are yours. Not ezCater's.
Caterbaby is the catering system we built to run our own restaurant. A fraction of the marketplace commission. No middleman. Your menu, your customers, your margins.

What's actually in the box
Not just a cheaper ordering link
It's the system we use to run catering at our own restaurant. Here's what you get.
Custom proposals, approved online
Build a quote, send it, your customer approves with one click. No email chains, no phone tag, no lost PDFs.
One-click reorder for repeat accounts
52% of our orders are repeats. That's not luck — customers reorder from their history in seconds.
Group order planner from your real menu
Customers describe their group, get a suggested order built from your actual menu items and prices.
NET-30, invoicing, ACH
Office catering runs on payment terms. Cards, invoices, split billing — however your customers need to pay.
Kitchen-ready prep sheets
Print a prep sheet with quantities, dietary notes, and delivery details. Your kitchen doesn't need to dig through emails.
Review every order before it confirms
No auto-accept surprises. You see the order, check your capacity, and confirm when you're ready.
Beyond ordering
Grow your catering business, not just take orders
ezCater keeps your customers behind their wall. We give you tools to find new ones and keep the ones you have.
Prospect finder
Find nearby offices and businesses that might need catering. Built-in search, scoring, and tracking so you know who to reach out to.
Outreach campaigns
Email templates with merge tags. Track who opened, who viewed your menu, who ordered. Know what's working.
Abandoned checkout recovery
When someone starts an order and doesn't finish, you know about it. Automated follow-up brings them back.
Customer segments
See your repeat customers, lapsed customers, recent orderers. Target the right people with the right message.
Free sample pipeline
Track sample drop-offs from request through delivery to conversion. Turn tastings into accounts.
Not on ezCater? If you're managing catering by email and spreadsheet, or locked into Toast, we built this for you too.

Your brand, your colors, your items. We set it up in a day.
