Before ezCater, OneTouch Direct struggled to feed their four office locations, fit into tight break windows, accommodate dietary preferences, and support weekend shifts all without adding extra work for their team.

Business catering is a customer acquisition channel most restaurants should be thinking about — the opportunity is huge. Last week at our 2026 Catering Growth Forum, Jeremy Cantarow and I shared new data to back this up. Our insights came from third-party surveys with over 700 orderers, over 600 operators, and over 1000 employees, plus data from millions of transactions across the ezCater platform. Here’s what stood out: - Growing demand: 91% of orderers plan to spend the same or more on workplace food this year - Discovery: 96% of workplace orderers tried a new restaurant in 2025 - Employer investment: The number of employees receiving daily or weekly meals is up 26% year-over-year - The Halo Effect: Two-thirds of employees try a restaurant in their personal lives — and recommend it to friends — after first trying it at work Every perfectly executed catering order is customer acquisition restaurants don't have to pay for.

Lunchtime should fuel your team, not your anxiety over the delivery tip. 🫢 With our ‼️ new ‼️ Catering Tip Calculator, you get the recommended tip instantly. Tipping for catering isn’t the same as tipping at a restaurant, and the right amount can vary based on service quality, order size, and complexity. Experts recommend 10–20% of the total order, but it can be tricky to calculate on the fly. Try it out today: https://bit.ly/4eJAufC

Almost one week later, and we’re still thinking about our Catering Growth Forum! ✨ From fresh insights to new connections and ezCater branding around every corner, this year’s event gave us plenty to be excited about. Some of our favorite moments included standout speaker sessions, thoughtful conversations in our Innovation Lab, a merch market full of fan favorites, and, of course, a sweet treat spread that did not disappoint. Our biggest takeaway? Digital discovery paired with strong on-site execution is a powerful recipe for standing out and driving lasting growth. If you missed our in-person sessions, don’t worry, you can still catch the insights we shared live at CGF. This summer, we’re bringing them to our Catering Growth Webinar Series.
