I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking at The Restaurant Catering Workshop, taking place on October 15-16 at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. This event is packed with insights and strategies to help you ramp up your catering sales and is perfectly timed right after the annual Fast Casual Executive Summit on October 13-15.
If you want to stay ahead of the curve and keep your clients coming back for more, you’ve got to adapt and innovate. Luckily, CaterZen has got your back. Let’s explore five key trends shaping the catering industry in 2024, and how our features can help you ride these waves to success.
Before discovering CaterZen's catering software, Slap’s BBQ was managing their catering operations with a haphazard system. Francine McCulloch, the Director of Catering Sales, recalls, “We had a different, not professional company like CaterZen that was helping us book. It was inefficient and didn’t offer near the benefits that CaterZen did, so we feel like we got much more efficient and accurate in our catering after we switched to CaterZen.”
I had the pleasure of being interviewed for a recent episode of The Wandering Worker Podcast. This podcast is all about embracing the remote work lifestyle, something that’s becoming increasingly relevant as more of us explore flexible work options.
In my episode, I shared some insights and stories from my journey with CaterZen and how we’ve harnessed the power of remote work to build a thriving business.
When it comes to catering software, the debate between cloud-based solutions and traditional on-premise or desktop software is ongoing. However, for many catering businesses, the benefits of cloud-based software far outweigh those of on-premise solutions. Here’s why opting for a cloud-based system like CaterZen can transform your catering operations.
Navigating the complexities of the catering business requires innovative solutions that streamline operations and enhance service delivery. For K Catering, the transition to CaterZen marked a pivotal moment in transforming its operational capabilities. Learn about how Kay Kim, the diligent owner of K Catering, utilized CaterZen's catering software to revolutionize her business processes.
You've spoken, and we've listened. As part of our ongoing commitment to evolve right alongside your business needs and the ever-changing tech landscape, we're thrilled to announce a new catering software feature many of you have eagerly anticipated—DKIM setup for custom domains.
Let me share with you the story of Pita Fusion, a vibrant spot that was more than just a place to grab a bite—it was where chaos met its match thanks to CaterZen. Nick Calandro, the brains and heart behind Pita Fusion, had his world turned upside down (in the best possible way) when CaterZen's catering software came into the picture. Before our paths crossed, Nick's operation was a wild mix of spreadsheets, sticky notes, and a nook so crammed with paper, you'd think they were stockpiling for the apocalypse.
Recently, I had the opportunity to dive deep into the world of catering and restaurant success with Michael Zellner on the Think Big podcast. Our dialogue spanned a variety of crucial topics, each packed with the potential to significantly impact your business in 2024 and beyond.
When it comes to managing your catering operations, your biggest competitor isn't the shop down the street; it's the DIY approach you're clinging to. This method, reliant on pen and paper, Excel, and tools like QuickBooks, is like trying to piece together a puzzle where the pieces refuse to fit. It's a 2-dimensional attempt at solving a 5-dimensional problem. You're playing checkers while CaterZen's catering software invites you to the chess table.
