As we wave goodbye to 2023 and welcome 2024 with open arms, it's the perfect time to reflect on our journey together and share the exciting path ahead. At CaterZen, our commitment to innovation and staying at the forefront of the catering industry has never been stronger.

LaLa Tacos' journey before CaterZen was marked by traditional, yet inefficient, order management methods. Aron Benon, the owner, recalls the days of managing catering requests solely via email. This method involved manually writing down orders, a process that was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. The lack of an integrated catering software system meant that LaLa Tacos was missing out on the efficiency and professionalism that today's catering industry demands.

In the dynamic world of catering, third-party ordering sites like ezCater, DoorDash, and Grubhub have become indispensable for many of our clients. Recognizing this, we're excited to announce an expansion to our existing ezCater integration in CaterZen's catering software. This enhancement is not just about adding more functionality; it's about simplifying your operations and financial tracking across multiple third-party ordering platforms.

Gourmandise, a thriving catering enterprise, faced the common industry challenge of finding the perfect catering software to manage its intricate operations. Davis Kinney, the Catering Director, reflects on their journey from Tripleseat, an event and venue-focused software, to discovering the more catering-specific benefits of CaterZen.

For every restaurant and caterer, the kitchen is where the magic happens. It's also where time management and efficiency are crucial. That's why we're always looking for ways to streamline processes. Our latest update to the Tablet Production Report is a perfect example of this commitment.

Navigating the intricate world of the catering industry, especially when you're managing multiple units, demands a catering software solution that can keep up. That's exactly what inspired our new Enterprise Plan.

For most catering businesses, the quest for an efficient catering management system is perennial. Shane’s Rib Shack, with David Carter at its helm as the Catering Director, was no different. Their initial set-up, heavily reliant on Excel and email, was more of a makeshift solution than an efficient system.

Fortunately, David discovered a beacon of streamlined operations in CaterZen, which promised a transformative approach to their daily challenges.

Let's face it: in the catering industry, time is gold. Every minute you save on mundane tasks can be better spent on enhancing your customer's experience. But what if you could streamline one of the most time-consuming aspects of your business – scheduling? Would you still spend those extra hours manually updating schedules? I sure wouldn't!

That's why I'm excited to introduce our newest feature: Exporting for Nowsta.

In an industry where the precision of logistics and management is paramount, the transition from manual, handwritten operations to a streamlined, digital approach can be revolutionary. Picnikins Catering in San Antonio, led by President Geoffrey Bezuidenhout, discovered this firsthand when they incorporated CaterZen's catering software into their business model.

The catering business is all about impeccable service, and communication plays a crucial role in that. In fact, the faster and clearer we communicate, the more seamless the catering experience becomes, both for the service provider and the customer.

So, would you want your catering business to lack efficient communication tools? I sure wouldn't!
