With the launch of ezOrdering for online
orders and ezManage for catering order management, ezCater
addresses the full catering lifecycle
Today, at the Restaurant Leadership Conference, ezCater unveiled
two new product offerings: ezManage and ezOrdering.
The new products will help restaurants market, manage, and grow
their catering business. ezManage is a no-cost catering management
platform, while ezOrdering provides restaurants with a low-cost
means to accept online catering orders on their own website. These
new products coupled with the ezCater Marketplace position ezCater
as the only solution that addresses the full lifecycle of a
catering order, from reaching customers to gathering post-order
feedback and insights.
Restaurants use ezOrdering to easily take online catering
orders on their own website. While many restaurants already enable
consumers to place take-out and delivery orders online, most still
take catering orders over the phone. ezOrdering provides an
out-of-the-box solution using the same easy online ordering
experience and 5-star customer service that have served more than
38 million people on the ezCater Marketplace. Each ezOrdering page
displays the unique brand and menu of each restaurant to provide a
smooth transition for visitors from the restaurant website. With
ezOrdering, restaurants pay no setup or maintenance fees and pay
lower transaction fees than they do for orders sourced and
delivered via the ezCater Marketplace.
Restaurants use ezManage to manage their catering orders
efficiently, gain insights to make informed decisions, and optimize
their marketing programs. ezManage produces real-time reports that
provide visibility into all of a restaurant’s catering orders –
past, present, and upcoming. Operators can see which marketing
channels are responsible for which orders and integrate their
social media channels for easy menu sharing. ezManage also enables
operators to enter phone orders directly into the platform so they
can track and analyze their full order flow. Additionally, ezManage
keeps track of all ezOrdering customer information, making it a
single-portal solution that provides restaurant operators with a
view into their entire catering business.
“We are thrilled to make our catering offerings more accessible
to consumers nationwide,” said Stephanie Beamer, Division Vice
President, Franchise & Catering at Villa Restaurant Group.
“Utilizing all platforms offered by ezCater, ordering through Green
Leaf’s and Villa Italian Kitchen has never been easier. ezCater has
been an essential part of our business plan in growing sales.”
“ezCater’s catering partners grow because we send them new
customer orders from our nationwide marketplace,” said Stefania
Mallett, CEO at ezCater. “Now, our ezOrdering and ezManage tools
help our partners increase their margins by managing their catering
business more efficiently.”
