I gain so much working with Zerocater to manage our San Francisco office meals and snacks. Instead of stressing about keeping the snack shelves full, now, I just see our Zerocater on-site specialist, say “hi” and walk back to my desk—it’s a life saver!
Office Manager
AnneMarie Kelly, Office Manager
Ever since we started working with Zerocater our lunch room is always full. That means our employees spend more time sharing ideas and building new products instead of dealing with the NYC lunch rush.
Office Operations Manager
Matthew Cherveny, Office Operations Manager
Zerocater makes ordering simple, so I can focus my time on discovering new ways to build office culture, attract talent, and retain employees.
Head of Office Experience and Events
Megan Leet, Head of Office Experience and Events

Recruiting Coordinator
Carmen Chiu, Recruiting Coordinator
Zerocater takes the pressure off of planning our “fam lunches” and makes it easy to continue our traditions. They help me tailor our meals to our tastes and needs, and their restaurant partners are always professional and delicious.
Office Manager
Cody Castro, Office Manager
Zerocater always maintains an outstanding array of vendors, even after four years of working together. Our lunches for the week are always different, fun, and tasty—it’s impossible to get bored of our options!
