No cutPreferred-caterer list. The order comes to you. You keep 100%.
Illustrative of the work. Real names and numbers land with your first accounts, not on a landing page.
Free demand snapshot
Free: see the workplaces near your kitchen.
Drop your kitchen's name and address. We map offices, hotels, and venues in about 3 miles and show them on a map. Named buyers come later, on a call.
The leak
Right now your catering runs through ezCater, which takes a cut of every order and keeps the customer as theirs. Or it's not happening at all, because who has time to chase down offices? Either way, you're leaving your best revenue on the table.
How it works
We do the hunting. You take the order.
Step 1
We map the offices near you.
Hundreds of local businesses in your delivery zone that order catering every week. Named people, not a pile of info@ addresses.
Step 2
We do the outreach for you.
Email, DMs, and calls pitching your food to the office managers, EAs, event planners, and venues who actually book catering.
Step 3
You get direct accounts.
Commission-free, yours to keep, with reorders that come back to you, not a marketplace.
The offer
Direct accounts. You keep every dollar and every reorder.
Direct, commission-free accounts
Flat fee. No cut of your orders. Ever. You keep 100% of every tray that walks out the door.
You own every customer
Marketplaces rent you buyers and tax the reorder. We build you accounts that stay on your books.
Done-for-you outreach
You don't lift a finger on prospecting. We email, DM, and call. You take the order and cook.
Local team
South Florida based. We know the turf and can meet face to face, which a national platform never can.
First booking free
The first booked order is on us. We eat that one so you can see the machine work.
30-day money-back guarantee
If we haven't gotten you in front of interested offices in 30 days, you get your money back. The risk is on us.

Why Lunchpad
Lunchpad vs. the marketplace.
ezCater and the rest wait for a buyer to go looking, then take 15 to 20% forever. We go first, and the account is yours.
| Lunchpad | Marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| The customer | You own them outright. | They rent you the buyer. |
| What you pay | Flat monthly fee. No cut of orders. | 15 to 20% on every order, forever. |
| Who does the work | Done for you. Email, DMs, and calls. | You wait, or you chase it yourself. |
| Local | South Florida. We can sit at your bar. | A login and a national support queue. |
| The reorder | Comes back to your kitchen. | Comes back to their marketplace. |

Questions owners actually ask
Straight answers.
How is this different from ezCater?+
ezCater rents you customers and taxes every order forever. We build you accounts you own outright, commission-free.
Do I have to do the outreach?+
No. We do all of it. You just take the orders and cook.
We only do dinner / we don't do lunch catering.+
Most of what we book is evening: corporate happy hours, office parties, private events. It's prep-and-deliver, so it never touches your service.
What if it doesn't work?+
First booking's free, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee if we haven't gotten you in front of interested offices.
Are we locked in?+
No long contracts. It's month to month.
