We provide two core plans tailored to your existing catering structure, with the option to create a custom solution designed around your specific goals and growth objectives.
With Plated Prospects, you gain a partner dedicated to driving sustainable revenue growth, building stronger client relationships, and managing the sales process so you can focus on what you do best—creating incredible food. Our nimble, contract-free approach allows you to scale effortlessly as your catering program expands, whether adding locations in the same city or entering new markets.

Our Lead Generation service is designed to connect your restaurant with a steady stream of highly qualified catering buyers every month. We act as your proactive outreach team, targeting key decision-makers within offices, organizations, schools, and community groups who regularly purchase catering.
Once we spark interest and a lead is ready to discuss booking catering services, we seamlessly hand off the qualified prospect to your team to finalize the details and close the deal. This approach allows your brand to stay top-of-mind with new customers while you focus on what you do best—delivering exceptional food and service.
This service is ideal for restaurants with someone already available to respond quickly to catering inquiries and manage the booking process, but who may not have the time or resources to consistently seek new leads goes here

Our Full Service Sales Management plan is built for restaurants that don’t have a dedicated catering leadership team but want to grow catering revenue without the hassle of hiring, training, or managing an internal sales department. We act as your complete catering sales team, handling every stage of the sales cycle from start to finish.
From lead generation to negotiations, menu recommendations, proposals, and contracting, we manage every step of the process. We can even handle payment collection on your behalf, ensuring you receive confirmed, paid orders without lifting a finger on the sales side.
With this service, all you need to do is prepare and deliver the food—while we take care of building relationships, securing bookings, and driving new catering revenue.

Our Consulting Services are ideal for restaurants that want to build and grow their own internal catering sales team but need expert guidance to do it right. We help restaurant owners avoid the costly mistakes of hiring a Catering Sales Manager without the proper structure, tools, and strategies in place—because without these, most new hires get bogged down in order fulfillment instead of actively driving new revenue.
We work alongside your leadership team to:
Recommend and set up the right tech stack (CRM, prospecting platforms, sales tools) tailored to your business goals.
Hire, train, and onboard your catering sales team to ensure they have the skills and confidence to sell, not just manage.
Implement our proven sales systems and outbound strategies, so your team can focus on building relationships and consistently generating new catering business.
With our consulting, you don’t just get advice—you get a fully built playbook for success.
Your Scalable Solution
Our services are designed to grow alongside your catering business without the need for infrastructure or hiring.
Flexible Service Plans
Our clients can start with lead generation and upgrade to full-service sales management as their catering demand increases.
Expand by Location or Market
Whether you open multiple units within one city or expand into new markets, our outreach strategies and tech stack can easily adapt and scale.
Pay-As-You-Grow Model
Instead of investing in full-time hires or expensive sales teams, our restaurant partners can scale our services up or down based on seasonality, business volume, or growth goals.
Customizable Campaigns
We can adjust prospecting volume, target industries, and outreach strategies to match your evolving needs.
Technology-Driven Efficiency
Our enterprise-level tools, such as CRM, power dialing, and data-enriched prospecting platforms, allow us to handle large volumes of outreach and lead tracking with ease. This means we can quickly ramp up efforts without requiring additional staff or resources from the restaurant.
Seamless Handoff & Consulting Support
As restaurants grow and decide to build in-house catering teams, we can seamlessly transition accounts by providing consulting, training, and tech stack recommendations, ensuring their internal teams are set up for success without losing momentum.
