The Problem

Phone tag and quote chaos

Corporate clients email for quotes. You call back, they're in a meeting. Orders come through last-minute. Planning is guesswork.

Phone tag

Back and forth

Client emails, you call back, they're busy. You email, they call when you're prepping. Orders get delayed or lost in the chaos.

Last-minute

Rush orders

"We need 30 sandwiches by noon tomorrow." Last-minute orders stress your kitchen and limit what you can deliver.

Manual tracking

Spreadsheets and sticky notes

Orders in emails, confirmations in texts, details on paper. No single view of what's coming and when.

Catering is complex enough. Order management shouldn't be.

The Solution

Self-service ordering for corporate clients

Clients browse your menu, select options, choose delivery dates, and pay—all without a phone call. You see orders come in with full details.

Flexible scheduling windows

Disable same-day orders entirely. Require bookings at least 3 days in advance and up to 3 weeks out. You decide the window—customers plan ahead, you prepare properly.

Corporate accounts

Repeat clients save their details and reorder quickly. You see their order history and can offer them tailored service.

Configurable platters

Set up platters with options—sandwich selections, dietary requirements, serving sizes. Customers configure, you prepare.

Paid upfront

Payments collected at booking. No chasing invoices, no cash on delivery. Secure the order when it's placed.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required to start.

Are there any per-order commissions?

No. TypeMenu charges a flat monthly subscription with zero commission on your orders. The only additional cost is standard card processing fees from your payment provider — Stripe is built in with simple onboarding, and if you use Square POS, payments go through Square instead. Either way, the fees go to your payment provider, not to us.

Will my customers actually use it instead of Just Eat or Deliveroo?

TypeMenu isn't about replacing aggregators — it's about giving your existing customers a better way to order directly from you. Customers who already know your catering business don't need a marketplace to find you. A direct link, QR code, or social media post is all it takes to shift repeat orders away from platforms that take 25%+ of every sale.

Can I use this alongside Just Eat or Deliveroo?

Absolutely. Most of our customers run both. Aggregators are great for discovery and reaching new customers. TypeMenu is for converting those customers into direct, commission-free repeat orders. The two work well side by side.

Do you provide delivery drivers?

No. TypeMenu is an ordering platform, not a logistics company. You handle your own deliveries or offer collection — which means you stay in control of the customer experience and don't pay rider fees.

Do I need technical skills to set up my catering business online?

No technical skills required. TypeMenu is designed to be set up by anyone. Most businesses are live within 30–60 minutes, and we're happy to help if you need onboarding support.

Do I need any special hardware?

No. Everything runs in the browser — your dashboard, kitchen display, and your customers' storefront. Any phone, tablet, or computer you already have will work.

What happens to my customer data?

Your data is always yours. You can export customers, orders, and reports at any time. We never sell or share your data, and we're fully GDPR compliant.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel directly from your dashboard at any time. Your storefront stays active until the end of your billing period.
