Restaurant catering growth service
Catering growth, handled for you. $400 a month, no commissions.
We build the list of offices near you, run the outreach, ship the in-store materials, and follow up with every buyer until they reorder. You keep the customer and every dollar of the upside.
What $400 a month covers
The same work a catering sales manager would do, every week, without the hire.
Prospect list
100+ businesses within your delivery radius, scored by size, distance and reason to order.
Outreach
Emails, calls and drop-off materials to those businesses, 150+ touches a month, from a named person on your behalf.
In-store materials
Counter cards, table tents and bag inserts so your regulars learn you cater.
Lead handling and ordering
Every inquiry gets a same-day response. A branded catering ordering page, or we plug into Toast, Square or your site.
Follow-up and reporting
Post-order check-ins, reorder reminders and win-back emails. Every prospect, lead and order tracked in a monthly report.
Not included: delivery and the food. No catering menu yet? We build the packages and pricing from your regular menu at no extra cost.

Who does the work
Two founders who built and ran food-ordering systems before FlashCater. Not an agency handing you to an account coordinator.
Seth Kramer

Leads outreach, design and in-store marketing. Co-founded Elevate Meal Plan, where he built the cold outreach systems that drove millions in food orders across five cities.
Josh Cohen
Co-Founder
Leads Google Ads, analytics and engineering. Built the ordering platform behind Elevate Meal Plan, processing millions of orders across hundreds of restaurants.
Your first 30 days
Here is exactly what happens after you sign up.
Setup
We map the businesses near you, build and score the prospect list, draft your catering packages and pricing if you need them, set up the ordering page or integration, and write the outreach emails, call script and printed menu.
Everything goes live
Outreach starts and the in-store materials ship to your restaurant. First replies and sampler requests come in.
First orders and pipeline
We keep working the list and following up. The first new orders usually land in this window. You get your first monthly report: who was contacted, who replied, who ordered, and what is in the pipeline.
Most restaurants see their first new catering orders within two to four weeks. A steady pipeline of repeat office accounts typically takes two to three months.
