Charter & Private School Catering

Finding delicious catering options to reward your teachers and staff is hard enough. On top of that, if your finance team places restrictions on how the school pays for the food delivery, we know it can be very stressful. We're here to make your job easier!

There is a lot to manage when you're looking for a variety of great catering options for your school staff. In addition to searching for quality meal options from restaurants who provide punctual deliveries, many have to go through logistical and financial hurdles such as finding restaurants who accept billing — paying by check instead of credit card really limits your options! Your finance team may also need you to order sales tax exempt, which adds another hindrance. If you want constant variety to feed your staff, this is a painstaking process to go through with every restaurant. Here at CaterCow, we can solve all of these problems!

Features Schools Love

Flexible Payment Options

At CaterCow, we’ll make billing simple. We'll send you our W-9, and you can pay by check or ACH if you don't have a credit card. We can bill you at the net-30 terms your finance team requires.

Sales Tax Exemption

If you’re tax exempt, we’ll ask for your ST-119 (or a comparable) form to keep on file and provide you the tax-exempt discounts for all subsequent orders.

Individual Ordering

No hassle for the office manager with everyone's individual dietary needs! If your staff wants to individually select meals, you can start a group order where meals will come delivered with each person's name written on it.

Optional Account Manager

If you order frequently, we know how much work it is to plan out meals. If you would like an account manager, we’d be happy to provide one to take care of menu selection and ordering for a variety of dietary needs.

FAQ's

Do you provide any discounts to schools?

Yes! On top of sales tax exemption (if you qualify), please reach out to support@catercow.com. We can work with your budget and slash our list prices!

How are you different from other food ordering services?

Two main pillars where we stand out!

  1. Vetting and Quality standards: when you browse www.CaterCow.com/search you'll see photos of every menu we offer - these aren't fancy staged plated photos, but actual photos of the delivery. We vet all caterers - to join the website, caterers must apply and complete a test order with on-time delivery, good professional service, and good quality food. We remove caterers who are suffering quality standards.

  2. Simplicity: you'll find that ordering from us is quick, intuitive, and easy! Try it out! Instead of ordering based on a laundry list menu (full tray of steak, half tray of chicken, pint of guacamole) we ask for your headcount and make sure you have enough food for your team!

What enhanced COVID-safety protocols do you have?

When it comes to ordering food, you want to know that the meal is being prepared under strict health and safety guidelines. While the CDC says that the risk of contracting COVID-19 from food or its packaging is very low and that there have been no confirmed cases via food preparation, our goal is to go beyond that and partner with restaurants who are hyper focused on their customers and employees’ health and safety. Our restaurants sanitize their kitchens prior to opening, throughout the day, and again at closing of each day. Staff always wear masks and gloves throughout their shifts and conduct temperature and symptom checks before work, during their shifts, as well as before leaving each day.

Below are a list of procedures we stress upon our kitchens:

- Do not allow sick employees to work

- Do not allow any employee to work who has come back from an identified high-risk zone in the past 14 days

- Wash your hands with soap and warm water regularly, for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing

- Take extra precaution around food handling including changing of personal protective equipment such as food handling gloves

- Please exercise proper sneezing protocol: when coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue; throw tissue away immediately and wash hands

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth

- Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever or cough

- Above all, please exercise elevated cleanliness and carefulness measures
