Serving headcount configuration

We’ve enhanced the catering ordering experience to help you confidently order the right amount of food for your event. With our new serving headcount configuration, you’ll benefit from:

• Clear serving size visibility

• Dynamic headcount calculations

• Smart recommendations to ensure your guests are well-fed—without over-ordering

Menu Configuration

Brands can now define how many people each menu item serves—either as a single number or a range. This helps you better understand portion sizes while planning.

To support this, calorie information can now also be entered as a range, based on the number of people served.

Customer flow updates

We’ve moved the “How many people will you be serving?” question to the beginning of your ordering journey. This helps us:

• Tailor menu recommendations (especially for bundles – coming soon!)

• Show a cost-per-head estimate in your cart

• Alert you if your order might not be enough—or is too much—for your event size

Menu item quantity update

When adjusting quantities:

• Clicking the quantity field highlights the number for easy editing

• Entering “0” will automatically change to “1”

• Only numeric input is allowed (up to 3 digits)

 

Important Notes:

• Increasing quantity multiplies the number of people served

• The price per person is calculated by dividing the total price by the number of people served

• If a product serves a range, we use the higher number for price-per-person calculations

• The Add button updates to reflect the total price based on quantity

Serving count inheritance

• If a main product has a serving count, it overrides any serving counts in its child products

• However, if the main product doesn’t have a serving count, it can inherit from child products—only if they belong to the Size product group

Products in size groups

For products grouped by size:

• If the item serves more than one person, we’ll show:

  • Number of people served

  • Total price

  • Price per person

  • Calories per person

 

Got Enough?

We’ll help you double-check your order with a smart prompt:

• No prompt if your order matches your guest count

• “Too much?” if your order exceeds your guest count (e.g., serving 75–100 for a party of 60)

• “Need more?” if your order falls short (e.g., serving 16–20 for a party of 60)

Receiving guest

At checkout, you can now specify who will be receiving the order—perfect for events where the recipient isn’t the person placing the order.

Mobile flow

All these updates are fully optimized for mobile, so you can plan your event on the go with ease.
