- Group orders made easy:
- Invite people to choose their meals. Group ordering makes it easy for everyone to choose their own meals. You don’t have to worry about picking the right food — just send them the invitation link and they’ll do the rest. It’s the customization they want, and the control you’re used to.

- ezCater will send you an invitation link for the order, and you send it to your team. This is where everyone can choose their own meal.
- TIP: not every restaurant is set up for group ordering. Search for restaurants with individually packaged items and make sure the order minimum works for your event.
