Good food makes for good morale, especially in the workplace. Whether you’re providing breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks for your office, ordering catering can be a great way to spark joy and promote connection amongst your colleagues. While most people think of catering as mainly occurring at major events, like milestone celebrations, catering for regular, low-key occasions is just as nice. And the best kind of catering? Catering you don’t have to think about!

Catering account management is a simple solution to making regular catering orders, which can be especially handy when you provide your office with food on a predictable basis. Read on to learn the answers to the top three questions about account management for catering orders.

What is catering account management?

Account management, in a broad sense, is when a product or service comes with customized customer service and support. Usually, an account manager is someone who can help you with the features of your account - whether that’s your orders, your invoices, or any troubleshooting required. Having an account manager means that you have a go-to contact when you have questions. Their main role is to meet your needs and to support your use of their product or service.

In catering, account management wouldn’t be complete without a real, live person there to answer your questions. Your account manager can answer your questions about how to place or change orders and scheduled deliveries. In summary, catering account management is an opportunity for you to stress less about feeding your office and focus on what matters most to you.

How does catering account management differ from ordering catering the regular way?

Catering account management differs from regular catering orders in a few ways. In general, however, the best way to order your office meals will depend on how much time you have to spend on organizing catering, whether you have a strong preference for picking exactly what you want to order each time, and if you have catered meals on a regular basis.

There are also benefits of ordering catering “the old fashioned way” - the first being that you can save money without having to pay for a premium account. When you drop the account management component of an account, you’ll also have full control over what you order and when you order. This gives you flexibility, which can be useful if you want the freedom to make changes on a whim or at the last minute. Regular ordering gives you greater control and the ability to personalize your office meals when you order catering the regular way.

However, not everyone has time to comb through the menus of the hundreds of amazing restaurants listed in CaterCow’s catering directory each time they want to treat their colleagues. In fact, some people experience the paradox of choice - too many options makes for quick overwhelm! Account management might just be the answer.
