Australian catering software company Flex Catering has entered the US market with its cloud-based catering management platform.

The company aims to fill gaps in the industry by offering a direct ordering and management system to improve and optimise catering operations.

The platform will help restaurants and quick service restaurants in handling corporate catering needs with its purpose-built online ordering capabilities.

Flex Catering's integration with point-of-sale systems and local delivery services supports complex events, making it a valuable tool for corporate catering planning.

Flex Catering CEO Renato Dayan stated: “Flex Catering is the ultimate catering solution for enterprise clients.

“Being an independent business, we are fully committed to exceeding the expectations of the catering industry. Our dedication to catering professionals sets it apart as a reliable and industry-focused partner.”

Flex Catering's cloud solution offers versatility and streamlines operations, ensuring that operators can deliver top-tier corporate catering experiences with ease.

Flex Catering chief operations officer Cris Matsunaga stated: “As experts in the catering software industry, Flex Catering is thrilled to bring our innovative cloud solution to the US market.

“We understand the challenges restaurants and operators face in the catering space, and our platform has been meticulously designed to empower them to excel in the restaurant, and catering segments.”

Last month, Olo, a restaurant technology business, introduced Catering+, an enterprise-level service, to help restaurants increase income and automate bulk ordering.

The solution simplifies the ordering and payment process for restaurant operators and guests.

As a robust ordering engine, the new solution functions in unison with customers' current lunchtime ordering platforms.

With the use of this function, high-value guests can place orders using an extended credit limit rather than paying for each purchase individually.
