Did you you know that 99% of customers say that ezCater is their go-to option when ordering food for work? If you’ve used the platform, you know why. So much variety, incredible customer service, and can we say ezRewards?

But, it’s possible that you haven’t experienced the platform’s full potential. From earning even more rewards to handing off the hard work to a team of seasoned experts, ezCater offers some pro features that could change your food-ordering game forever.

Whether you’re a long-time user or just getting started, these quick tips will help you get the most from your ezCater account.

Earn rewards from more than just orders

The ease and convenience of working with ezCater already makes ordering catered meals a rewarding experience — but we don’t stop there. Seasoned ezCater users know that every filled order also earns you points that you can redeem for ezCater order credits or Amazon gift cards. And every 100 points equals $1 in rewards. 

Building up your ezRewards is simple and happens in three different ways. Yes, you can earn rewards from placed (and fulfilled) orders, but you can also refer friends and write reviews to make your points balance grow. Points are automatically added to your account each time an order is filled, and the more you order, the more you’ll earn. There are no limits. Seriously.

What will you do with your points? It’s up to you. You could redeem them and treat the whole team to a surprise free breakfast on a Monday morning (just don’t forget the pastries). Or, you could treat yourself. After all, you’ve earned it.

Get referral benefits for you and your friends

When you love something, you want to share it, right? Well, sharing your love for ezCater comes with perks for both you and your friends. When you refer your professional contacts to ezCater, they get $25 off their first order, making their introduction to our service even sweeter. At the same time, you’ll earn $1 in rewards for every $100 they spend. That’s what we call a win-win situation.

Inviting friends is simple. You can send them a personalized link or provide us with their email address, and we’ll take care of the rest. Plus, there’s no limit to the number of friends you can refer, so your earning potential keeps growing. All earnings roll into your ezRewards account, making it convenient to redeem them when you’re ready.  

Spend less time guessing about group orders

If you’re tight on time or want to give your team the freedom to choose their own meals, ezCater’s Group Ordering offers the perfect solution. It lets you put the power (and work) of choosing lunch for your team right in their hands.

Setting up a group order is as straightforward as placing a regular order. Here’s how to do it:

• Head over to ezCater.com and plug in your address, date, time, and headcount.
• Click “find caterers” and use the “individual packaging” filter to see restaurants offering individually packed meals.
• Apply the “cuisine” filter to narrow down your search.
• Choose your restaurant and look for the green “start group order” banner at the top of the menu page.
• Hit the edit button to tweak order details, give your event a name, and set a per-person budget.

Once you’re all set, your team members will receive a link to a page that lets them select meals that fall within the preset budget. As they order, you’ll see updates to your cart, with each team member’s name associated with their order. This feature lets you see exactly who has placed their order and who might need a gentle nudge. On delivery day, each meal is labeled with the team member’s name, ensuring everyone gets what they ordered without any mix-ups.

Streamline ordering with saved instructions

ezCater makes your life easier in other ways, too. Now, you can save your address and delivery instructions, so they’re applied to all future orders. This eliminates the repetition of adding your information each time and reduces the chances of making an error.

If you make changes to your delivery information during checkout, the updates automatically sync with your saved addresses, keeping everything current without any extra effort. It’s an easy way to streamline your orders, so you can spend less time on logistics.

Take a hands-off approach with concierge ordering

Ordering food is one of many tasks on your to-do list. With ezCater’s Concierge Ordering, it’s possible to take a more hands-off approach. Just provide a few key details about your meeting or event, and our team of experts will jump into action to coordinate every detail for you.

Once we’ve crafted the perfect menu, we’ll send you an order draft to review. Want to make some changes? No problem — just let us know, and we’ll make the adjustments. We’re all about making your catering experience as smooth as possible, so you can enjoy the occasion without any added stress.
