If you use ezCater to generate orders, Metrobi integrates directly with the platform. Orders from ezCater can be fulfilled through Metrobi’s driver network. Learn more about the integration.
Yes. For catering businesses with regular corporate accounts or recurring lunch routes, this is one of Metrobi’s most valuable features.
Preferred Drivers. After a great delivery, add that driver to your Preferred network. They get priority access to your future jobs. The same professional shows up for your Monday corporate drop every week.
They learn your standards over time. A driver who runs your routes regularly knows how to handle packaged food with care, how to coordinate with venue or office reception staff, and what your presentation expectations are. That consistency protects your client relationships.
Ban the ones that don’t meet your standards. If a driver is late to an event window, mishandles food, or doesn’t present themselves professionally, remove them instantly. They’ll never be matched to your jobs again.
Catering clients plan their events around an arrival time. Metrobi’s Receiver Platform keeps them informed automatically. No nervous calls on the day of the event.
SMS and email notifications go out when the order is dispatched, while the driver is en route, and once the delivery is confirmed. Your client knows the food is on the way before their guests arrive.
Live tracking link lets your client follow the driver on a map in real time. They can see exactly when to expect arrival. No calls to your kitchen asking “where’s the food?”
Proof-of-delivery photos are captured at every drop. Documentation that the order arrived on time, in full, and at the right location.
Your clients feel confident. Your team fields fewer day-of calls. Every delivery reinforces a professional impression of your catering brand.
Consumer delivery apps are built for individual food orders. A quick lunch for one person. Catering is a completely different operation.
Catering deliveries require the right vehicle. Trays, chafing dishes, large-format packaging, and multi-bag orders don’t fit in a standard car. Consumer app drivers are not equipped for this. On Metrobi, you specify the exact vehicle and load requirements upfront. Only drivers who qualify can apply.
Catering deliveries require professionalism. Your driver arrives at a corporate office or event venue and is the first face your client sees. A random driver with no context for your brand is a risk. On Metrobi, you control who runs your jobs and can remove anyone who doesn’t meet your standards.
Catering deliveries require reliability. A late delivery on a consumer app is an inconvenience. A late catering delivery can ruin an event, lose a corporate contract, and trigger a refund. Metrobi’s on-time rate is 93%. Backup drivers are always available.
You keep the margin. Consumer apps charge commission on every order. Metrobi charges a flat delivery fee that you set. No percentage of your catering revenue goes to a platform.
Getting started is simple. Book a call with our team and we’ll walk you through everything step by step.
We’ve helped catering businesses of all sizes get their deliveries running. From kitchens handling their first corporate lunch route to caterers managing multi-venue event days. Drivers on the platform understand the time sensitivity of catering, the care required for large-format food orders, and the professionalism your clients expect at the door.
Book a call with our team and get started as early as tomorrow morning.
You set the price upfront. Drivers apply based on your rate, so there are no surprise fees. Cost varies by distance, vehicle type, and number of stops.
Typical ranges for catering businesses:
Use the Metrobi pricing calculator for an instant estimate on your specific route. No commitment required.
Yes, completely. You set the rate when posting a job. Drivers see it and choose whether to apply. You pick from qualified applicants. No minimum rates are imposed and no fees are added without your knowledge.
No contracts, no minimums. Metrobi works on a pay-per-delivery model. Use it when you need it, whether that’s a single event drop or daily corporate lunch routes five days a week. No lock-in period, no cancellation fees.
A small catering kitchen handling its first recurring corporate account gets the same platform access as a large operation running multi-venue event deliveries every day.
Beyond transparent pricing, Metrobi reduces costs in three concrete ways.
Route optimization cuts miles and time. Metrobi’s software sequences your drops for maximum efficiency. Whether those are your own drivers or couriers from the Metrobi network. Catering businesses typically save up to 30% on mileage compared to manually planned routes.
You decide what you pay per delivery, not a platform. Many courier services and delivery platforms charge a percentage of the order value. On large catering orders, that adds up fast and eats directly into your margin. Metrobi works differently. You set the delivery price. Metrobi suggests a competitive rate based on the market, but the final decision is always yours. The only platform fee is a flat driver pool access charge, regardless of order size.
Use ezCater for orders, Metrobi for deliveries. ezCater charges a commission on every order placed through their platform. By handling your own deliveries through Metrobi, you keep full control of that side of the margin. You bring in the order volume through ezCater and pay a flat, predictable delivery fee through Metrobi, instead of giving up a percentage on both ends. Learn more about the integration.
In catering, late is not an option. A delivery that misses the event window means cold food, a frustrated client, and a contract at risk. Metrobi is built around the reliability catering businesses need.
93% on-time delivery rate. Drivers arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled window. Critical for corporate lunches, meeting catering, and event drops where your client’s guests are already seated.
99.3% reliability rate. Only 7 out of every 1,000 delivery requests go unfulfilled. Backup drivers are always available if your primary driver can’t make it. Your event doesn’t get left without coverage.
Real-time GPS tracking lets you monitor every delivery from your kitchen. If anything looks off, you know before your client does. Your support rep is available in 76 seconds to help resolve it.
Metrobi’s driver network includes vehicles suited to the full range of catering delivery needs. When posting a job, you specify the type. Only drivers with the right vehicle can apply.
You’re never matched with a driver who shows up in the wrong vehicle for your order size.
Every driver is reviewed by the businesses they deliver for after each job. Metrobi tracks three metrics to surface the best performers:
When multiple drivers apply for your job, Metrobi ranks them by these metrics and assigns the best fit. Higher-rated drivers get priority access to jobs. They’re motivated to perform on every delivery, including yours.
You’re in full control. If a driver mishandles food, misses an event window, or doesn’t present themselves professionally at a client’s venue, you can ban them from your account instantly.
Banned drivers can never apply for or accept your jobs again. Permanently excluded from your delivery pool. No appeals, no exceptions.
On the other side, add drivers you trust to your Preferred network. They get priority on your future jobs. You consistently work with drivers who already know your events, your clients, and your standards.
Yes. Multi-stop corporate delivery is one of the core use cases Metrobi is built for. Add as many drops as your route requires. The route optimizer automatically sequences them for the shortest, most efficient path.
Works well for catering businesses delivering to:
One driver, one optimized route, all stops covered. With proof-of-delivery photos at each location.
Metrobi covers up to 100 miles from your pickup location. Enough to reach corporate campuses, event venues, and client offices across any major metro area.
Growing your catering client base doesn’t require hiring more drivers. Drivers on the platform can cover the distance. You just post the job.
Metrobi currently operates in 15+ cities across the US, with new markets launching regularly.
