01 / The problem

Every platform speaks a different language.

If you run a catering business today, your orders show up in a chaotic mix of places. Every platform does it differently, and somebody on your team spends hours every week reading those emails and copy‑pasting the details into a calendar so the kitchen knows what to make and when.

That's the problem Catero solves.

02 / The fix

Orders, automatically on your calendar.

An order comes in from any of the platforms you use. Within seconds, Catero reads it automatically, pulls out everything that matters — the items, quantities, drop‑off time, customer name, contact info, address, special instructions — and drops it neatly onto your Catero Calendar and Google Calendar.

You decide what appears on each entry — start from one of our templates or build your own, with all of those details or just the ones your kitchen actually needs. Color-coding is yours to set too — by platform, by order type (pickup, drop-off, third-party delivery, staffed event), by status (original, modified, cancelled), by location, or any combination that fits how you work. Color by platform, and you can see at a glance whether tomorrow's lunch rush is heavy on ezCater or DoorDash. If the customer changes their order, Catero updates the calendar entry. If they cancel, Catero removes it. Nobody has to lift a finger.

03 / Where it lives

The same calendar your team already opens.

Because it also lives on Google Calendar — the same calendar your kitchen lead, your delivery drivers, and your owner already check on their phones — there's no new app to download, no new login for your staff, no learning curve. The orders just appear where everyone is already looking.

04 / Reliability

Always watching, even when you're not.

If one of the order platforms changes how their emails look (which happens more than you'd think) and an order doesn't parse correctly, Catero catches it immediately, alerts our team, and routes the order to a manual review queue so it still makes it to your calendar — usually before you even realize anything went sideways.

You get a live status page that shows at a glance which platforms are running smoothly — so if something's off, you'll know before your customers do.

05 / Setup

Live in under an hour.

Setting it up takes minutes, not weeks. For most platforms, you paste in an API key or set up an email forwarding rule, and you're done. Within an hour of signing up, your next order will appear on your calendar automatically.

  1. Connect Google Calendar
    One click. We handle OAuth, scopes, and the boring parts.
  2. Add your platforms
    Paste an API key or set up an email forwarding rule — usually a couple minutes per platform.
  3. Start cooking
    Your next incoming order lands on the calendar. No CSV imports. No backfill.

The bottom line

Five to fifteen hours a week of data entry — gone.

Catering ops managers spend those hours every week doing work a computer should be doing. Catero gives them back. Your team stops copy‑pasting and starts cooking.
