We can help you streamline and expand your Catering business for you and your customers. Our Catering Marketplace gives your restaurant access to the top employers in your area who use our free invoicing system. Whether your looking for a way to process catering from our website, or just looking to expand your catering business, we are your solution.
Just like your primary menu, we can create a custom branded catering experience for your online customers. Orders can be placed through your website and app, over the phone, or from our marketplace of corporate clients.
Unlike orders from you standard menu, Catering Orders are not auto-accepted. Catering orders are sent via email and SMS Text messaging to restaurants, and require you to accept the order. Once the order is accepted, we will then assign your pre-determined driver to the order which is sent via SMS Text message. This driver assignment can be changed anytime on your Loyal Dashboard.
The Loyal Catering Marketplace is a B2B Catering site exclusively for Hospitals, Universities, Healthcare Reps, and other Local Businesses who are higher volume Catering Customers. It was designed to solve some unique challenges these institutions face when it comes to facilitating the transaction. Sometimes the employee placing the order isn't from the same dept as the person paying for the order, and more often than not, they will require an invoice in order for a payment to be made, sometimes weeks later.
Once we approve an Institution on our Marketplace, they can place orders with your restaurant and they can choose to pay online or pay by invoice. We automatically generate these invoices and email them to the Institution so there's no paperwork for Restaurants. Once you accept the order and fulfill the order, Loyal will advance you the full amount of the invoice within 2 business days of fulfillment. The invoice is instructed to refund us back directly, making your Restaurants Catering business extremely efficient.
Loyal Catering is commission free for all Loyal Restaurants and Institutions. Restaurants who are not subscribed to one of our other services will be charged a commission for each order. See our Pricing page for details.
Catering when done right can be a major driver of business for most restaurants. We can create as many completely separate catering menus as you need for your restaurant. Some restaurants choose to create new Catering-Only brands to expand their customer base, and we have all the tools to make that a simple process.
Ghost kitchens, also called Virtual Restaurants, are Delivery Only concepts that have a variety of uses. Some are physical brick and mortar kitchens with no public storefront, like a shared kitchen space. Others are existing restaurants that want to expand their online offerings without effecting their primary restaurant brand and menu.
Creating Ghost Brands for your additional Catering menus is a natural fit for restaurants looking to expand their online sales because they tend to be larger orders that are made in advance so your staff has time to prepare them.
Ghost Menus are treated like a separate location for Ordering Purposes.

Most Restaurants have their Catering on a PDF, and that's it. But if you want to maximize your Catering Outreach, there's a lot more you can do. We can help you publish your catering menu on dozens of different websites and marketplaces, as well as your own website. Then we can integrate all of those menus into a single dashboard for streamlined processing. We can even aggregate any 3rd party marketplace orders like your Doordash and Uber Eats menus into the same dashboard on a single tablet. To learn more, schedule a demo, or start a chat below.
