Stop searching for a catering sales manager. We'll do it for you.
We become your outsourced catering sales team — starting with an audit of where your restaurant is leaking direct catering revenue.
See your gaps first. Month-to-month if we work together.
Hiring a catering manager is expensive and risky.
$60-80K salary before they've booked a single order
2-3 months of training before they're productive
Average tenure of 8-14 months — then you start over
No ordering platform, CRM, or reporting included
You're paying whether they perform or not
Meanwhile, your competitors are winning corporate accounts
You're already spending thousands on marketing that doesn't drive catering.
Most restaurants pour money into channels that generate dine-in awareness at best — and nothing measurable at worst.
Social media agencies
$1-3K/moInstagram posts look great but drive zero catering orders from offices.
Google & Meta ads
$1-5K/moOften poorly targeted. Great for dine-in, terrible for B2B catering without a dedicated funnel.
ezCater commissions
18-25% per orderYou don't own the customer relationship — and they take a cut forever.
What if you redirected that budget toward something that actually books catering orders?
We do everything a catering sales manager does — and more.
You handle the food. We handle the selling, the follow-up, the platform, and the reporting.
Cold outreach to local businesses
150+ outreach touches per month — calls, emails, and direct mail to offices, corporate parks, medical buildings, and law firms in your area.
Targeted lead lists
100+ businesses within 5 miles of your restaurant, filtered by employee count and industry. Refreshed quarterly so you never run out of prospects.
Email campaigns & direct mail
Personalized emails and printed menus delivered directly to office managers and EAs. We design, print, and distribute — you just approve.
In-store marketing collateral
We design and provide printed marketing materials with QR codes — table tents, counter cards, and flyers — so your dine-in customers know you cater.
Repeat customer follow-up
Every past catering customer gets follow-up to drive reorders. The goal: turn one-time orders into weekly recurring accounts.
Online ordering platform
Your own branded catering page where customers order and pay online. Includes order dashboard and customer CRM — all included in the price.
Monthly reporting & strategy
Full transparency: outreach activity, leads generated, orders booked, revenue driven. Monthly strategy call to review and adjust.
Better results. More flexibility.
