You're paying ezCater 15–25% of every catering order.
There's a better way to run catering — one where you keep your customers, your margins, and your menu.
What your customers see
What you see
What marketplace commission actually costs you
15–25% gone on every order
On a $500 catering order, that's $75–$125 you never see. Over a year, it adds up to thousands.
Your customers aren't yours
The marketplace owns the relationship. They promote your competitors to the same offices that order from you every week.
You don't control your menu
Adding a seasonal item or updating a price? That's days or weeks, not seconds. Forget custom proposals for big orders.

Patika had no catering program before Caterbaby. First year, from zero. On ezCater at 18%, that same revenue would have cost ~$27,000 in commission.

Frequently asked questions
How is Caterbaby different from ezCater?
ezCater is a marketplace — they sit between you and your customers and take 15-25% of every order. With Caterbaby, you have your own ordering system. Your menu, your brand, your customer relationships. No middleman.
What does Caterbaby cost?
6% per order — that covers payment processing, the ordering system, and support. No commission on top. Compare that to the 15-25% a marketplace takes. No contracts either — if it stops working for you, you leave.
Do I keep my customer data?
Yes. Every customer who orders through your menu is your customer. You see their order history, contact info, and preferences. Nobody else is marketing to them or steering them to a competitor.
Can I handle NET-30 and invoicing?
Yes — payment terms, invoicing, and split billing are all built in. Most marketplace platforms can't offer this because they control the payment flow. Your office customers can pay the way they're used to.
How long does setup take?
We can usually get a restaurant live with their own menu in a short conversation. Nick (who built Caterbaby and co-owns Patika Coffee) helps every restaurant get set up personally.
Do I need to change my POS?
No. Caterbaby runs alongside whatever you already use. It handles catering orders, payments, and management on its own.
