Can we invoice corporate customers instead of taking card payment?

Yes. Catering orders can be paid by card, by payment link, by bank transfer, or invoiced to an account with your own terms. Purchase order references travel with the order and VAT receipts are generated automatically.

How do minimum orders and lead times work?

Both are set per item and per fulfilment method. A platter can require 48 hours and a £150 minimum while a sandwich box requires four hours and no minimum, and the storefront only offers slots that satisfy whatever is in the basket.

Can one office order include everyone's individual choices?

Yes, that is what group carts are for. You send one link, each person adds their own dish to the shared basket, and the whole thing checks out as one order with the individual choices itemised for the kitchen.

Do we need a separate site for catering?

No. Catering runs as its own channel on the same menu and the same dashboard, with its own pricing, lead times, minimums and delivery zones. One system, two very different businesses.

Online ordering for catering

The order is placed a week before you cook it

Catering is not takeaway with a bigger basket. Lead times run in days, one order feeds forty people who all wanted something different, and the person ordering is rarely the person paying. The whole flow has to hold that.

What actually gets in the way

Lead times, not prep times
Orders land days or weeks out, with cut-offs you set per item. The kitchen sees the week ahead rather than finding out on the morning.
One order, twelve desks
Group carts let an office build a single order from twelve people, each choosing their own dish, without one person collecting preferences over Slack.
The buyer is not the eater
Pay by link, pay by bank transfer, or invoice the corporate account. Purchase order references and VAT receipts come as standard, because finance will ask.
Repeat business is the whole model
The Thursday board lunch is not a transaction, it is a standing order. Guest records and reorder links turn one event into a calendar entry.

We opened with Storekit. I don't think we could have made the model work without it.

the app users they had on Vita Mojo

We had a platform that did everything - but not well enough. The app had no branding, we had no control, and our catering team were spending every morning on the phone to couriers.
