Corporate Catering

Overview

A platform that connects companies (employers), their employees, and lunch providers in one system. Companies offer a digital canteen with configurable allowance; employees order one-time or recurring lunches and pay their share; operators and admins manage menus, delivery areas, and payments. Supports meeting orders, delivery by area, holidays, and full finance visibility for the platform.

Pains

• Companies wanted to offer lunch benefits but had no single way to manage allowance, menus, and employee orders.
• Employees ordered from multiple channels with no link to company subsidy or recurring options.
• Caterers and office managers juggled spreadsheets, manual billing, and separate tools for each company.
• Allowance (percentage vs fixed), payments, and who-pays-what were error-prone and hard to track.
• No visibility on platform-wide revenue, overdue payments, or company-level lunch orders for scaling.

Solutions

• Single platform for company registration, employee onboarding, and allowance setup (percentage or fixed daily amount).
• Daily menu with items and additions; one-time and recurring orders with automatic allowance and employee share calculation.
• Meeting orders placed by the company for events, with same allowance and payment rules.
• Delivery areas by postal code with configurable pricing; holidays per company to control availability.
• Unified payments: employee share and company share; saved payment methods; invoicing for companies.
• Admin per company (menu, delivery, holidays, order status); Super Admin for multiple companies, finance (revenue, overdue), and company-level orders.
• Notifications for allowance changes, order status (processing, delivered), and payment success or failure.

Business achievement

• Structured lunch benefit from sign-up through ordering, delivery, and payment in one system.
• One platform for employers, employees, and operators instead of fragmented tools.
• Clear finance: revenue and overdue tracking so the platform and each company can manage performance.
• Scales to multiple companies with role-based access (Company, Employee, Admin, Super Admin).

Saved hours

Admin and office managers no longer reconcile lunch orders and allowance across spreadsheets or multiple systems; caterers manage all companies from one place. Estimated 15+ hours/week saved per multi-site operator.

ROI

Platform enables recurring revenue per company and clear visibility on collections (overdue). Single system reduces operational overhead and supports growth without adding proportional admin. Typical payback from reduced coordination and billing errors within the first year.
