Take catering orders without having to talk to clients. Automate the rest so you can scale without hiring or bogging down staff.
Using a restaurant system for catering makes things clumsy for clients and requires too many workarounds. HoneyCart fixes this.

Set specific dates or days of the week when a menu is available (i.e Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Taco Tuesday’s).
Automate your catering policies to prevent last-minute changes and enforce late-cancellation fees.
Set different policies, delivery/pickup times and fees for each type of order you offer (i.e delivery, pickup, holiday).
"If we weren’t open, customers couldn’t order... Without a doubt, I feel like we definitely lost business.
There are people that I don’t even have to talk to now. They just place their order... Now I wake up in the morning, I check my emails and there are usually three or four new orders."

"[Once the pandemic hit] I had less staff having to do way MORE things, and entering orders by hand didn’t make sense when the customer could do it themselves.
