My favorite catering company! I love using their service. So seamless, easy, and always a good experience. The team has loved every restaurant we order from, and I feel good buying from them! I also love that they show when a restaurant is owned by minorities, women, etc. Feels good to share this with my team, who highly value this.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for the kind words, Katherine! I'm thrilled to read that your team has had such great experiences with CaterCow. Making catering seamless (and delicious) is exactly what we aim for! I also really appreciate you calling out the minority flags on our site, which highlight minority-owned businesses! Thank you for trusting us with your team's meals! Have a great weekend :)

Fantastic Experience with CaterCow!<br><br>Our company has now ordered from CaterCow three times, and each experience has been exceptional!

We order lunch for our employee's weekly; we were getting really tired of the same old same old and then we discovered Cater Cow. Cater Cow absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the very first interaction, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful in customizing their menus to fit our individual needs.<br>They are very easy to get ahold of if you want to make any changes or adjustment to meet our needs.<br><br>We have order on 4 different occasions so far and each time we order the food has been — beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor.

Response from the owner

Hi Nikki! I'm so happy to read that we've exceeded your expectations and successfully injected some fresh flavor into your employees' lunch routine! Our team is on standby to help however we can :) I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

CaterCow is an awesome resource. I've used them now four times for my 30+ meal 800$+ lunch orders and it's always on time and good quality. Definitely recommend as a trusted catering marketplace.

Response from the owner

Thank you for trusting us with your lunch orders, Nic! It's our privilege to serve your team and earn your recommendation :) I hope you have an incredible weekend!

I’ve been using CaterCow for a few months, to order food for meetings at work. I love the online interface, with the option to search by packages being offered or specific restaurants. Choose your presentation, buffet or individual. Specify your headcount, so you can see the cost per person. The food has been exceptional, and they’ve been a great partner.<br>Bonus!! You earn rewards for every dollar spent and can redeem them for $$ off any order when checking out, or as an Amazon gift card.<br>I would love to see them develop an app that I could use to make orders, edit, and track their delivery.

Response from the owner

Welcome to the herd, Allen! I'm delighted that you've been enjoying our website, search filters, and rewards program (bonus for sure)! I hope your team enjoys their signature bowls on Tuesday! Have a wonderful weekend :)

CaterCow is a great partner to me in role at my work. It makes it easy to source reliable restaurants to order from that I know will have great food, show up on time and be extra reliable. This obviously comes at a cost so it sometimes stretches the budget but the peace of mind is so worth it! Looking forward to another year of great events using CaterCow's services!

Response from the owner

We are here to make your life as easy as can be, Candace! I'm thrilled that we've been able to give you peace of mind in your day-to-day so that you can focus on other important aspects at work! I hope you have a fabulous weekend :) Here's to another great year!!

I've been using CaterCow for 3 years now at work and they're solid on customer service. They should be the go-to for any newbie who needs to cater an office meal or a larger event. I've found the reviews on the platform to be helpful to know what to expect. I appreciate the level of communication from starting an order to receiving the order (and they do act on the post-event feedback). Thankfully, we have the budget to pay for a reduction in guesswork in feeding large groups of people and having an event run on schedule. They have been adding on partner restaurants through the years and I love that the menus are labeled with food allergens. I would love to see more photos of catering package portions from the restaurants (ie. what pasta for 20 people amounts to in number and size of trays).

Response from the owner

Susana, we are proud to have served your team over the past three years and look forward to many more to come! As you know, customer service is the backbone of any company, and I'm happy to read that your experience with our team has been so positive :) As you mentioned, we take feedback seriously and encourage all of our customers to let us know their thoughts so our product can be as polished as can be! Thank you for your kind words!

CaterCow is a relatively new service for us, but I've really enjoyed how their group ordering options allow our office to reduce food waste. Our building is big on making sure waste is allocated correctly- we have composting and recycling programs that we adhere strictly to. Sometimes with large pans it can be difficult to dispose responsibly, but CaterCow has made it easy. There have been bumps in the road, but CaterCow has always made an effort to rectify any situations that arise and are always searching for feedback and then apply that feedback. I think that is a great practice and I hold a lot of respect for CaterCow because of that.

Response from the owner

Halle, I'm so happy you've made use of our group ordering feature! Beyond the convenience of everyone choosing their own meal and it coming labeled with their name, it absolutely helps reduce food waste, especially when dealing with strict composting/recycling rules! We only have one planet, and we have to take care of it! Thank you for doing your part :) As you mentioned, we love feedback so we can continue to make our product the best it can be! We may not always be perfect, but we will ALWAYS try our best to remedy a sour situation. Thank you for your support, and I hope your team enjoys their boxed lunches next Thursday!

CaterCow meets a need for me as an educator. Schools have very specific accounting procedures that need to be followed and restaurants often do not have the capacity to manage things like net30 terms for catering. CaterCow makes it possible for us to order from local restaurants and get the terms we need to be fiscally sound. I appreciate their customer service so much. They make everything easy.

Response from the owner

Hello Niki, I'm thrilled to read that we've been able to meet your needs as an educator! Educators are such an important part of our community, so it truly has me beaming that we've been able to support you and your catering needs! We are here whenever you need us :) Have a great weekend!

CaterCow has unparalleled customer service—truly a gem in the corporate catering space!<br><br>I've been using CaterCow to feed the staff at my company for over a year now (about 15 months), and I can't say enough good things about them. They’ve supported me every time I’ve needed help—whether it was a mix-up on my end (more often than I’d like to admit!) or, on the very rare occasion, something unforeseen on the restaurant’s side.<br><br>At one point, there was a hiccup with a restaurant fulfilling an order, and even then, they only reached out to me after they already had a solution in place. They handled all the stress so I didn’t have to.<br><br>Everyone I’ve ever interacted with at CaterCow has been kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful. That level of service feels rare these days.<br><br>I’ve also spoken with restaurant partners who’ve shared the same sentiment—CaterCow supports them, too. It’s clear this platform cares deeply about both the customer and the food provider, which is part of why I specifically chose them over some of the more popular SF corporate catering companies. Many of those gave the impression they were good to corporations but not necessarily to restaurants. CaterCow, on the other hand, is the full package—thoughtful, reliable, and respectful on all sides of the process.<br><br>If you're looking for top-notch service, seamless coordination, and a company that truly cares, CaterCow is it. Highly, highly recommend!<br><br>— San Francisco Venture Capital Firm | Headcount: 15–30 people per day

Lisa! This is hands down one of the nicest reviews we’ve ever received!! It’s been an honor to serve your team and get to know you over the past 15 months! I shared your review internally, and we’re buzzing that we’ve made this much of a positive impact. Seriously, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

<br><br>At CaterCow’s core, we are a group of passionate problem-solvers who care about the people we work with and strive to build strong and meaningful relationships on all sides. It sounds simple, but leading with respect and empathy goes a long way, and receiving feedback like this proves that HOW you accomplish something matters!<br><br>I hope you have a fabulous long weekend! Happy Spring :)

We used CaterCow for the first time, and the platform was incredibly easy to navigate. The team was very responsive and quick to address any issues, making the whole process smooth. The selection of vendors was impressive, and we ordered from three different providers for our two-day meeting. The food was delivered on time and beautifully displayed, exactly as requested. Communication was excellent, with confirmation of our order ahead of time, and they were attentive to our allergy request, ensuring everything went seamlessly.<br><br>We look forward to using CaterCow again for our next corporate meeting. Thank you!

Response from the owner

I appreciate you taking a chance and using CaterCow for the first time, Debbie :) The picture you attached is gorgeous, and the fruit tray looks absolutely delicious! At CaterCow, we pride ourselves on being human first. We take care of our customers the way WE would want to be taken care of—with kindness, empathy, urgency, and mindfulness! I'm thrilled that your two-day meeting went smoothly and we look forward to serving your team again! Happy Thursday!

I absolutely love ordering food for our events from CaterCow! They work with many local caterers and I appreciate the ability to select the demographic of the catering company: from LGBTQ+, Women Owned, Black Owned, and more! The delicious food has always been delivered early or on-time with more than plenty to go around. I was even impressed that they could make special desserts for our event! CaterCow has great service and quick response to anything concerns or issues! Strong recommend for your next big or small function!

Response from the owner

Damian, these pictures are awesome, thank you for sharing them! I wish technology was advanced enough for me to reach through my screen and grab a Rice Krispy to snack on :) I'm so glad you've been utilizing our minority filters and that, overall, your experience with CaterCow has been positive! I genuinely appreciate the recommendation and hope everyone enjoys their Cuban meals next Saturday!

I’ve been using Cater Cow since early November, to order for a cohort of university students. Cater Cow has an amazing variety of selections, which encompass a variety of diets. The students have thoroughly enjoyed each meal I have ordered through this service. Prices are also very reasonable for group orders compared to other platforms.

Response from the owner

Hello Keshia, I appreciate you writing this review, thank you! I also appreciate the pictures you included, I simply want to LIVE in that dessert box - it looks like it was delicious! We take pride in being able to accommodate a wide variety of diets and I'm grateful that your experience with CaterCow has been a positive one! I hope you have an amazing rest of your day :)
