In the bustling world of catering, where the essence of service excellence intertwines with the precision of financial management, CaterZen continues to pioneer with innovative solutions aimed at enhancing both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Following the successful launch of our Accounts Receivable (AR) Aging Email Report and Ticket Audit Log, we're thrilled to unveil our latest catering software feature enhancement: the ability for catering clients to log into your online ordering portal and access their aging reports and pay invoices.

In the dynamic world of catering, staying on top of your finances is as crucial as delivering exceptional service. CaterZen understands this, and we're excited to announce two groundbreaking catering accounting software features that are set to revolutionize how you manage your catering business’s finances: the Accounts Receivable (AR) Aging Email Report and the Ticket Audit Log. These features are designed to streamline your accounting processes, ensuring that your focus remains on what you do best - creating unforgettable catering experiences.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
