Catering.
Without ezCater's cut.
The $2,800 office-platter order is the order most independent restaurants underweight. ezCater takes a meaningful cut and owns the customer relationship. Zayos gives you a quote-to-order flow on YOUR domain, with the catering customer in YOUR book.

Catering tickets are bigger ($300-$5,000), more lead-time-sensitive (24-72 hours out), often need a quote + custom modifications, and the buyer is usually an admin or office manager — not the eater. The "accept the cart, pay, done" flow doesn't fit. Zayos has a separate quote-to-order pipeline that handles all of this.
Why not just use ezCater?+
ezCater takes a meaningful cut and owns the customer relationship. The office manager who ordered $2,800 of platters from your restaurant on ezCater never gets your email, never gets your re-order prompts, and never sees your menu when they search next quarter. With Zayos, the catering customer is yours.
How does the accept-by-link flow work?+
You build the quote in the admin (line items, modifications, tax, delivery fee, tip). Zayos generates a public link. The customer opens it, reviews, e-signs the accept, pays via Stripe (card, ACH, or invoice net-30). Quote becomes a confirmed catering order on your kitchen calendar. The whole flow is brand-side — your domain, your branding, no third-party.
Does the customer book track catering separately?+
Yes. Catering customers carry a "catering" tag and surface separately in reports. Their LTV math is computed separately from regular delivery LTV. Marketing campaigns can target "office managers who ordered catering in the last 90 days" specifically.
Can I send a holiday catering campaign to last year's buyers?+
Yes. The marketing console runs email + SMS broadcasts with audience filters. "Last catering order between Nov 15 and Dec 31, 2025, value > $500" → AI drafts the campaign for the same window in 2026. You approve, you send.
