The story of heycater!
Who we are
heycater! is the central platform for business catering. We organize lunches, meetings, events, and office supplies for companies so that everyday catering is simple, predictable, and reliable.
Why we founded heycater!:
We started heycater! because we saw firsthand how much time and energy companies spend on organizing food every day. Comparing offers, coordinating caterers, following up, troubleshooting. It is necessary work, but it should not be your work. Our goal is to cut through that complexity and replace it with a clear, digital process.
Our solution
Today, we bring together hundreds of certified catering partners and connect them with companies through one platform. From inquiry and quoting to delivery and invoicing, everything is structured and transparent in one place. What used to require many individual steps is now a single, simple workflow.

What drives us is not building as many features as possible, but solving real problems. We listen closely to our users, test early, and improve continuously. Our focus is on simplicity, high quality standards, and accountability in everything we do.
Our conviction
We believe in the power of good food in everyday working life. Shared meals bring teams together, strengthen culture, and create space for real connection. Our goal is to make those moments possible without any organizational stress.

heycater! grows with its customers. From startups to large corporations, from single offices to international companies. Our platform is built to scale with you without getting more complicated.
The team behind heycater!
We are a cross-functional team spanning Product, Operations, Supply, Sales, and Customer Success, united by one mission: to rethink business catering and make it as straightforward as it should be.

What is the quality of heycater! assured?

Plus Icon

Heycater! stands for the highest quality in the area of events and catering - that is why we work exclusively with carefully selected and certified caterers. To ensure this claim, we take comprehensive measures to ensure that each of our catering partners meets our high standards:

1. Careful selection and review of caterers: All our catering partners are guided through a strict selection process. We review each caterer for experience, reliability, and ability to provide high-quality services.

2. Quality & Safety program: We have developed a comprehensive program aimed at ensuring high standards in the areas of hygiene, product quality and packaging. This program also includes auditing our caterers according to industry-standard criteria and ensuring that they have regular certifications.

3. Reviews and customer feedback: We actively collect reviews and feedback from our customers after every event. This feedback is crucial for the ongoing evaluation of our caterers and helps us to retain only those providers in our network who consistently achieve high satisfaction scores.

4. Test caterings: New caterers first go through test caterings before they are included in our regular offer. This allows us to evaluate their services under real conditions and ensure that they meet our expectations.

5. Internal Caterer Rating System: Our internal rating system categorizes caterers from “Newcomer” to “Trusted” to “Premium.” These ratings are based on their performance, customer satisfaction, and compliance with our quality standards. This system enables us to transparently inform customers about the experience and reliability of our caterers.

6. Through these measures, we ensure that our customers receive first-class catering at every event that meets and often exceeds their expectations.
