Canonical: https://storekit.com/products/catering-pickup-delivery-for-office-orders **Catering, without the spreadsheet** Three weeks' notice, twelve desks, one invoice. Catering built as a channel, not a phone call and a spreadsheet. - **Order now, eat in three weeks** - Lead times, cut-offs, and minimum spends per slot - set once and enforced automatically. - **Corporate accounts and invoicing** - Pay by link or by bank transfer, with the paperwork an office manager needs to expense it. - **Group orders that don't collapse** - One link, twenty people choosing their own dish, one order landing in your kitchen. - **8x** Average catering basket vs a standard order ## How it works 1. **They order ahead** - Advance bookings with real lead times - days or weeks out, not tonight. 2. **They order together** - Group carts let an office build one order from twelve desks. 3. **You get paid properly** - Pay by link, pay by bank, or invoice the corporate account. ## What it does ### Order now, eat in three weeks A normal checkout assumes the food is being made now. Catering does not work that way: the order lands three weeks out, the kitchen needs notice, and the cut-off is a real operational constraint rather than a preference. Storekit gives catering its own calendar with lead times and cut-offs you control, so nothing arrives that the kitchen has not agreed to make. ### Corporate accounts and invoicing Office catering is bought by someone spending their employer's money, and card-at-checkout is often the one payment method they cannot use. Storekit handles pay-by-link, pay-by-bank and invoiced accounts, so a purchasing manager can actually complete the order they want to place instead of ringing you to arrange it. ### Group orders that don't collapse The office lunch is usually organised by one person, a group chat and a spreadsheet, and it falls apart when someone changes their mind at eleven o'clock. A Storekit group cart lets everyone add their own items to a shared order against a deadline, so the organiser stops being a project manager and the kitchen gets one clean ticket. ### The highest-value basket you take A catering order is worth many times a normal cover and, once an office finds a supplier that does not mess it up, it repeats every week without any marketing at all. It is the most reliable revenue in the building, and most restaurants take it over the phone with a pen. ### Your brand, not a portal Catering aggregators charge for access to an office that would happily order from you directly. Running it on your own storefront means the relationship, the data, and the margin stay with you - and the office's next order starts on your domain rather than a comparison page. ### Pickup, delivery or both Some catering goes out on your own van, some is collected, some needs a courier at a fixed time. Storekit handles all three on the same order type, with the fulfilment method set per booking rather than per venue. ## The order that repeats every week. Most restaurants treat catering as an interruption: a phone call, a spreadsheet, a deposit chased by hand. The brands growing fastest treat it as a channel, with its own lead times, group carts, and invoices. Given those, one office becomes a standing order. Standing orders are the most predictable revenue a kitchen can have. ## Questions ### How far ahead can guests order? As far as you allow. You set lead times and cut-offs per menu, so nothing lands that the kitchen hasn't agreed to make. ### Can offices pay by invoice? Yes - pay by link, pay by bank transfer, or invoiced corporate accounts settled at month end. ### How do group orders work? One shared cart with a deadline. Everyone adds their own items, you get a single clean ticket. ### Is catering a separate menu? It can be. Run different menus, lead times, minimums and fulfilment rules for catering than for your day-to-day service. ### Do I need separate software for this? No. Catering runs on the same Storekit account, menu and dashboard as every other channel. ## Related - [Store designer](https://storekit.com/features/store-designer) - [Automatic upsells](https://storekit.com/features/automatic-upsells) - [Smart reviews](https://storekit.com/features/smart-reviews) - [Order tracking](https://storekit.com/features/order-tracking) - [Delivery zones](https://storekit.com/features/delivery-zones) - [Capacity control](https://storekit.com/features/capacity-control) - [Tipping & service charge](https://storekit.com/features/tipping-and-service-charge) - [Item videos & photos](https://storekit.com/features/item-videos-and-photos) - [Kitchen display system](https://storekit.com/features/kitchen-display-system) - [Payment links](https://storekit.com/features/payment-links) - [Takeaway & delivery](https://storekit.com/products/takeaway-system-for-restaurants) - [App Studio](https://storekit.com/products/app-studio) - [Kiosks](https://storekit.com/products/kiosks) - [Pricing](https://storekit.com/pricing)
