Case Study: Sweets & Meats BBQ Reclaims Time and Peace of Mind with CaterZen

How Sweets & Meats BBQ Reclaimed Time and Peace of Mind with CaterZen

Sweets & Meats BBQ, a fast-growing catering business running a restaurant, three food trucks, full-service catering, and vending events, was overwhelmed by manual paperwork, handwritten kitchen tallies, and weekend stress. Before switching to CaterZen catering software, Co-Founder and Co-Owner Kristen Bailey was using a system built more for venues than caterers, leaving the team without the automation, reporting, and inventory visibility they needed.

With CaterZen, Sweets & Meats BBQ implemented kitchen production reports, delivery management, multi-contract support, built-in e-signatures, and hands-on onboarding tailored to their workflows. The result was less manual work, faster prep, clearer communication, and a smoother delivery experience; Kristen said the software helped her reclaim her life, work less frantically, and “breathe,” replacing the need for a costly custom build that she nearly pursued.
