ezCater

ezCater is a US B2B catering marketplace aggregating 100,000+ local restaurants across most US cities for office lunches, business meetings, corporate events, and off-site catering. Positioning is a one-stop catering platform for businesses with delivery-time guarantee, corporate billing, and volume-discount rewards. Sold at ezcater.com and via the ezCater app.

ezCater typically guarantees on-time delivery for the confirmed delivery window; if the order arrives late outside the confirmed window, ezCater's guarantee covers a partial or full refund per the specific incident. Delivery windows are typically 15 to 30 minutes wide; select a window that provides buffer for meeting start time. Verify current guarantee terms on ezcater.com.

ezCater Business is the corporate account tier with centralised billing, individual employee login access, budget controls, expense reporting, and ezRewards volume-discount points. Best-fit for companies ordering catering regularly across multiple offices or teams. Contact ezCater sales for account setup. Standard consumer-side checkout also handles occasional orders without a corporate account.

ezRewards is ezCater's loyalty program: order pre-tax spend earns points redeemable as future catering credit or gift cards. Points typically accrue at a fixed rate per dollar spent; higher-tier businesses earn additional bonuses. Verify current ezRewards structure on ezcater.com before enrolling. Cashback via ShopBack applies alongside ezRewards accrual because ShopBack pays on the checkout total.

Most ezCater restaurants require ordering at least 24 hours ahead for lunch catering, with some requiring 48 to 72 hours for large orders (50+ people) or specialty menus. Same-day catering is available on select restaurants at premium pricing. For guaranteed delivery time and restaurant availability, order 2 to 3 business days ahead of the event.

ezCater delivery is typically drop-off at the specified address with a specified contact person. Some restaurants offer setup service (trays, utensils, condiments, layout) for a small additional fee; verify at checkout. Standard drop-off delivery does not include on-site staffing. For fully-staffed events, book direct with restaurant catering or a specialty event caterer.

Cancellation terms vary by restaurant. Most ezCater orders can be cancelled at no charge within a set window before the delivery time (typically 24 hours ahead for standard orders); cancellations closer to delivery may be partial or full-charge. Read the cancellation window on the specific order confirmation. Cashback is void on cancelled orders.

ezCater's B2B pricing follows restaurant-set menu rates rather than sitewide sale calendars. Seasonal promotions tie to major corporate-catering windows: Super Bowl weekend (early February), Spring Meeting Season (March to May), Summer Corporate Retreats (June to August), Fall Return-to-Office (September), Holiday Party Season (November through December), and New Year Kick-Off. Rewards multipliers may run during specific windows.

ezCater periodically issues promo codes tied to newsletter signup, seasonal events, and first-time-buyer promotions. Pasting an unofficial third-party voucher at checkout can break ShopBack cashback tracking. Use only ezCater's own official codes plus ShopBack cashback for the more reliable path.

Sign in at shopback.com, open shopback.com/ezcater, activate cashback via the ShopBack browser extension or app, then click through to ezcater.com and complete the order in the same browser session. Avoid pasting third-party voucher codes at checkout as they can break tracking. Pending cashback appears within a few days; confirmed after the delivery date and any applicable adjustments.

ezCater ezRewards accrual and ShopBack cashback typically coexist because ShopBack cashback is paid on the merchant-side checkout total independent of ezRewards points. Third-party voucher codes at checkout can void tracking. Verify current stacking terms on the ShopBack ezCater merchant page.

Weekly office lunches, quarterly business review meetings, all-hands events, client-hosted meetings, off-site retreat catering, and holiday-season employee events. For individual home-office single-person delivery, DoorDash or Uber Eats are the direct alternative.
