Office Manager Lifesaver
We provide lunch daily at my office which means headcount, meal selection, and feedback is a constant ongoing process. I used to do this all manually and it took up a lot of my time. Ever since implementing Zerocater, I now no longer have to be preoccupied with the tedious parts of the lunch program and can just rely on them to deliver a delicious, punctual, and diverse range of food. We use them for some happy hours as well. It's easy for my team to input their dietary restrictions, view menus, and submit feedback in the dashboard. My only 'complaints' would be that 1) they're not equipped to handle themed events/menus just yet, and 2) the app is glitchy, but once those are updated, it will be a total home run.

Great catered office meals!
My company has used Zero Cater on a few occasions to have team building and morale boosting meals. We've had breakfasts and lunches that have been delivered and served with ease. Great way to get your teams together over lunch!
