See what Zerocater offers: AI-powered CaterAI event ordering, managed corporate cafeterias, and recurring office meal programs across 12 major U.S. cities.
Zerocater is a corporate catering and workplace dining company, founded in San Francisco in 2009 and grown through Y Combinator (Winter 2011) plus $4.1M Series A (2016) and $12M Series B (2018) funding rounds. It serves 500+ companies across 12 major U.S. metro markets (San Francisco Bay Area, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Austin, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Philadelphia).
The company offers two ways to order: CaterAI, an AI chatbot that instantly builds custom event menus, books onsite catering staff, and plans decor from a network of 1,000+ vetted local restaurants and caterers based on headcount, budget, cuisine, and dietary needs; and dedicated account managers for recurring daily/weekly office meal programs and fully managed corporate cafeterias (chef-led onsite dining, curated snacks, and staffed coffee bars).
Zerocater positions itself around reliability and variety, citing on its own site less food waste than traditional caterers, high order-accuracy rates, and significantly more menu variety across its restaurant network. Orders can be placed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, and multi-day conference catering, with dietary accommodations spanning vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, kosher, and halal menus.
