If you're tired of the same, boring sandwiches from in-house university dining services, taking the leap to find delicious external catering options to feed your faculty and students can be very difficult. On top of that, if the college accounting department has restrictions on payment methods, we know it can be very stressful. We're here to make your job easier!
Whether you're ordering for a faculty panel lunch & learn or for a department breakfast meeting, there is a lot to handle when you're exploring different catering options outside of in-house dining services. In addition to searching for high-quality meal options from punctual restaurants, many have to go through administrative hurdles — paying by check instead of credit card really limits your options, and you may also need to order sales tax exempt. If you want to consistently provide variety to feed your staff, this is a painstaking process to go through with every restaurant. Here at CaterCow, we can solve all of these problems!
Features Universities and Colleges Love
Flexible Payment Options
At CaterCow, we’ll make billing simple. We'll send you our W-9, and you can pay by check or ACH if you don't have a credit card. We can bill you at the net-30 terms your finance team requires.
Sales Tax Exemption
If you’re tax exempt, we’ll ask for your ST-119 (or a comparable) form to keep on file and provide you the tax-exempt discounts for all subsequent orders.
Individual Ordering
No hassle for the meal coordinator with everyone's individual dietary needs! If your staff wants to individually select meals, you can start a group order where each item comes delivered with the person's name written on it.
Optional Account Manager
If you order frequently, we know how much work it is to plan out meals. With an account manager, we can take care of menu selection and ordering for a variety of dietary needs.
I love using CaterCow for my events and workshops for NYU students & faculty. Some of the challenges I face when ordering for large groups are ensuring an on-time delivery, food that is on budget, tastes good, and can fit different dietary restrictions. What I love about CaterCow is that you can filter all of your needs. I found some really great options on CaterCow that I didn't know existed. The best part of CaterCow is their customer service. Many times I'll need food for a large group in the morning. If it's late - it delays our program. Or I'll have ordered vegetarian/vegan options but the caterer forgot that part of the order. Mistakes happen but CaterCow makes sure that the mistake is fixed and works with the caterer to make sure it doesn't happen again. From someone who's seen it all when it comes to ordering food for 30-100 people — 2 thumbs up for CaterCow!
