The Premiere Drop-Off Catering Solution That Grows With You
We spent 10 years building the catering interface trusted by thousands of office managers and event planners. Now, we're bringing that technology directly to you.
We know what customer want, because we built the marketplace.
The CaterCow Advantage
Most catering software is built by engineers guessing what your customers want. Steer is different. We've built a first class, customer-centric solution learned from processing over $100 million in catering orders.
The fastest checkout flow in the industry. Customers simply enter their Date, Time, Headcount, and Address. Our system immediately presents a pre-filled, perfectly calculated order. They can configure preferences from there or proceed directly to payment. The result? Higher conversion rates and zero confusion about portion sizes.
The easiest split-payment and individual ordering software on the market. Forget combining shopping carts from a confusing catering menu. We make it effortless to select a specific subset of items meant for individuals. Zero-friction stipends mean no lengthy onboarding - clients simply provide a credit card backstop and send a link. Plus, smart logistics auto-generate labels with Customer Names + Selections on every box.
Complex Operations, Simply Managed.
Built for Scale
Whether you run a single busy kitchen or a chain with 100 locations, Steer provides the jurisdiction and control you need to expand without chaos.
Manage multiple brands, franchise ownership structures, and locations from a single unified dashboard.
Draw custom polygon delivery zones on a map. Orders are automatically routed to the correct location based on the delivery address falling within your custom zones. Central dispatchers can manually reassign orders for load balancing.
Assign staff specific roles. A General Manager sees everything; a location manager sees only their jurisdiction. Notifications route strictly to the people who have permission to act on them.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
Built from 10 years of real-world catering operations.
Smart Menus & Controls
Update one master menu and sync it across all locations, or allow for local customization. Mix & Match as you see fit.
Date-Specific Availability
Handle holiday menus, seasonal specials, or "Taco Tuesdays" with menus that only appear on specific dates or days.
Last-Minute Safeguards
Set strict lead times (e.g., "48 hours notice") and block specific dates when you are fully booked.
Label Logic
Configure logic to avoid printing 50 individual labels for a bulk tray of soda, while ensuring every box lunch gets a name tag.
Universal Inbox
Consolidate catering orders from major 3rd-party marketplaces directly into your Steer dashboard. View all your volume in one place.
Robust Reporting
Export customer data, order history, and accounting info from all sources into Excel or Google Sheets instantly. Slice & dice the data to fit your needs.

After working with many catering platforms, it's clear CaterCow sets the standard.
They're our native catering partner because they do three things exceptionally well: best in class customer support that truly understands restaurant partnerships, a native referral link that allows us to bring clients into their system with zero fees for life, and seamless assisted ordering that still preserves those lifetime benefits.
This is how catering platforms should work. CaterCow is our flagship partner as long as we continue to grow.
