Why your caterers will love us
Your caterer receives an easy-to-maintain store system for presenting their products.
Individual rules at product level guarantee an error-free catering process: from minimum order quantities, to necessary preparation times, right through to cancellation deadlines.
Orders and changes are transmitted automatically to avoid stress and incorrect deliveries. Our add-in also takes into account necessary set-up and dismantling times, for which it additionally blocks the room so that the caterer does not disrupt the actual meeting.
This makes catering simple and efficient!
Convenient store for catering products
Error-free ordering & booking process
Room bookings incl. catering in one step in Outlook
Intuitive Outlook add-in - without training or familiarization
Why your employees will love us
Your employees organize meetings in the familiar Outlook environment and if they want catering for an appointment, our add-in comes into play:
They select the desired products and quantities in a store similar to that used by delivery services. You are guided through the error-resistant ordering process. The order and any changes are immediately transmitted to the caterer.
The result is perfectly prepared meetings - with catering! Without disruptions!
Always up-to-date thanks to the order overviews in the catering module
Professional and attractive presentation of catering products
100% compliant orders, systemically ensured
Relaxed set-up and dismantling without disrupting meetings
Genuine integration instead of a trick
Our catering management solution offers comprehensive integration into Microsoft 365 with the Outlook add-in. At first glance, other solutions on the market also appear to be integrated into Outlook - but technically they are not! Instead, only a room request is sent to Outlook from an external system. This may seem like a complete integration, but in practice it has considerable limitations:
Competition: suggested integration
No use of MS Panels & third-party displays
No compatibility with Microsoft Teams Rooms
Resource management in the third-party system
Synchronization problems
No access to setup times & booking rules
Full hardware flexibility
100% compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms
Avoidance of shadow IT
Resource management in MS Exchange Online
Thing-it: true Microsoft 365 integration
Bidirectional synchronization
The add-in is embedded directly in Outlook and uses the existing infrastructure - including resource management, Exchange, Teams Rooms and more.
All bookings are made directly in the Outlook calendar, so no separate tools or detours are required.
Add-in for catering in an Outlook room booking
The add-in makes it possible to order catering directly when booking a room in Outlook - similar to a delivery service. Users put together the desired products, with the system taking into account rules such as minimum order quantities. The caterer receives automatic notifications after orders and in the event of changes.
The booking process is thus simplified and managed systematically. An additional system or order lists are not necessary!
If the room needs to be prepared for catering or needs to be cleaned later, the add-in only shows available rooms and automatically blocks the additional times in a separate appointment.
Impress with perfectly planned meetings with reliable catering.
Intuitive user guidance - directly in Outlook
Perfectly prepared and disruption-free meetings - always!
Save time with simple and intuitive orders in the familiar Outlook environment
Avoid errors through automated ordering processes.
Store for the management of catering products
Employees select the desired catering in a user-friendly store. They are guided step by step through the ordering process based on system-based rules. This ensures a smooth process.
The store system offers caterers the opportunity to conveniently maintain their products and their characteristics: With pictures and descriptions, they can present the food and drinks in the best light. In addition, prices, minimum order quantities, set-up and dismantling times, as well as cancellation deadlines can be stored. Adjustments can be made at any time and are immediately displayed in the store.
Relaxed set-up and dismantling without disturbing the meeting
Professional and attractive presentation of catering products
Flexible lead & follow-up times/set-up times per product
Definable delivery times/cut-off times & cancellation deadlines
100% compliant orders, systemically ensured
Simple management of the catering offer with immediate implementation of changes for all customers (live data)
Order overviews and automatic updates by email
As soon as an order is sent, the caterer and the customer receive an automatic e-mail with a detailed order overview. This ensures transparency on both sides and avoids misunderstandings.
The catering dashboard provides the caterer with an overview of all orders. All ordered products are listed separately across all orders to determine the goods required. Finally, the export function (CSV & PDF) ensures legally compliant invoicing.
Reliable catering - just as you ordered it
Always keep an eye on orders, goods requirements and costs!
Error-free, system-controlled ordering process from A-Z
