US-based catering marketplace ezCater has acquired French corporate catering platform GoCater.
This move follows the company’s recent $100m Series D funding round to expand its business.
EzCater co-founder and CEO Stefania Mallett said: “It’s great to be the market leader in the US, but we’re inspired to help customers and catering partners worldwide.
“GoCater’s ingenuity, high calibre of talent, and company culture align perfectly with ours. Together, we’re unstoppable.”
The transaction will expand GoCater’s catering partner network with American restaurants, catering chains and independent favourites across Europe.
Both platforms focus on customer service offering features such as centralised invoicing, catering-specific reviews and online receipts for easy expense reporting.
