Market
Southeast Asia catering market amount $8 billion USD.
USA catering market amount $60 billion USD
We aim for 3% of these two markets in the first five years.
Problem or Opportunity
A person looking for catering can easily waste 10 hours searching through caterers & restaurant options as well as asking others for their preferences to order food for the office or an event.
Restaurants and caterers are being exploited by marketplaces, with high percentages rates and low value-added, where they don't feel like partners.
Solution (product or service)
We believe the best way to tackle this is to build a platform that successfully acquires enough data to understand people’s culinary needs, we will be using artificial intelligence technology to customize the order process and simplify food delivery at the workplace.
Additionally, we are providing caterers digital tools that solve marketing, operations & finance problems.
