Catering excellence starts with the right technology

Managing catering orders alongside daily restaurant operations can overwhelm even the most organized teams. That’s why Katalyst has developed a powerful catering management solution, seamlessly integrated into our POS platform. From order intake to payment processing and fulfillment, everything happens within one intuitive system.

Accept catering orders with zero hassle

Traditional catering requires back-and-forth communication, but Katalyst’s online ordering system eliminates friction. Customers can explore your catering menu, select items with custom modifiers, and place orders instantly — no calls, emails, or forms required. Your kitchen gets notified immediately, ensuring prompt preparation.

Instant payments for upfront cash flow

One of the standout features of Katalyst is its built-in payment gateway. The moment a customer places an order, they can complete payment, and the funds hit your bank account the next day. This upfront cash flow means you can immediately invest in ingredients, staffing, and production, without waiting for deposits or final payments.

Complete order oversight in one place

Forget juggling multiple systems — Katalyst consolidates all catering orders in a single view within your POS. Track preparation status, fulfillment method (pickup or delivery), and lead times for specialty items, all while maintaining real-time inventory updates. Our system even throttles orders based on capacity, ensuring you never overextend your kitchen.
