The questions teams usually need answered before they evaluate CaterDeck.
CaterDeck is a B2B lunch coordination and marketplace platform for companies. Companies match with caterers; menu publishing, employee selection, headcount, deadlines, delivery coordination, feedback, invoice reconciliation, and collection tracking run through CaterDeck. Food production, packaging, and delivery are performed by the relevant caterer.
There are two phases. In discovery, the company reviews caterers in the marketplace and sends a match request. No sale, invoice, or payment happens at this stage. In active service, the company's platform terms, the caterer's intermediation agreement, and the active link/transaction record for each match work together. The active link binds price, location, delivery time, deadline, invoice, and collection terms.
No. CaterDeck does not produce, package, or deliver meals. CaterDeck provides the intermediation platform, operational coordination, and collection/reconciliation infrastructure. The relevant caterer is responsible for production, packaging, labeling, allergen information, hygiene, and delivery.
Caterers manage menus, prices, delivery times, and capacity. Company admins track employees, selections, headcount, delivery status, and monthly reconciliation. Employees choose lunch, change selections, skip days, and rate the meals they receive.
Yes. Your current caterer can join CaterDeck and remain your meal-service provider. Before active service starts, the caterer goes through onboarding; food-business registration or approval, workplace license, tax certificate, signing authority, capacity, and other required documents are checked. Daily selections, headcount, delivery tracking, invoice reconciliation, and collection then run through CaterDeck.
Yes, it is an alternative workplace-lunch line to meal cards. No card, wallet, balance, or payment instrument is issued to employees. Lunch comes to the workplace, and employees only make selections in the app. For the company, daily headcount gathering, WhatsApp/Excel chasing, restaurant calls, and invoice reconciliation move into one platform flow. Payroll, SGK, and tax effects should be confirmed with the company's own accountant.
