Why it’s Different

Every catering order in one place, from booking to payment.

Orders for Any Future Date

Customers order today for Mother's Day, Labor Day or Thanksgiving. You get the order now, with the day it's due.

A Suggestion for the Group Size

Customers say how many people they're feeding, and the page suggests how much to order.

A Prep Sheet for the Week

See every catering order day by day, so you know how much turkey to have on Wednesday.

Phone Orders on Any Tablet

When someone calls, type the order on any Apple or Android tablet and take the payment right there.

Payment Links by Text

Text your customer a payment link. They tap it and pay from their phone, so there's no need to take card numbers over the phone.

Pickup or Delivery

Customers choose. Deliver it yourself, or send it with Uber Direct or DoorDash Drive.

How it works

How food catering software works

One order, from booking to pickup.

  1. They book the date. A customer orders on your page for the day of the event, and says how many people they’re feeding.

  2. It lands on your screen. The order shows up with its date, next to your pickup and delivery orders.

  3. You prep and get paid. Your prep sheet adds it to that week. Send a payment link by text, then hand it off or deliver it.

See the difference

Without Catering

  • Big orders come in by phone and get written down wherever.

  • Your system can’t hold an order for a future date.

  • You find out how busy the holiday week is when it starts.

With Catering

  • Customers book the date they need, weeks ahead.

  • Web and phone orders land in the same place.

  • A day-by-day prep sheet shows the week before it arrives.

A big order shouldn’t surprise you the day before.

Catering comes in waves: Mother's Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving. When those orders arrive by phone and live in a notebook, nobody sees the full week until it's already here. That's when you run short on turkey, or buy twice what you need.

That is where Eatsy Orders comes in: our restaurant catering software helps owners stay in control of large orders. By centralizing phone and online bookings weeks in advance and generating clear daily prep lists, your team can plan for busy catering seasons.

Every order has a date, a channel, and a place in the prep plan, so you can focus on getting it right for your customers.
