We are launching in Q1 2025. Customers will order directly through HappyCatering and you will receive orders by email or phone. You have full control over lead times, prep windows, order minimums and more.

You will receive payments via ACH in 2 business days.

We built this platform to run our catering business, HappyBoards.com, so the incremental cost to us of supporting other restaurants is negligible. Right now we are focused on launching.

Over time, we will explore a business model that makes sense for us to be sustainable as a business while keeping costs low for you. We built this platform because we got tired of playing the predatory games that 3rd party marketplaces force restaurants to play, and so whatever business model we build, we are committed to not doing any of the predatory tactics that are outlined in our manifesto.

Customers visit HappyCatering.com, enter their delivery address and the details of what they need, and they will see a curated list of partner restaurants that can fulfill their needs.

There is no bidding, no pay to play, and no artificially inflating restaurants that pay us more up in rankings. We believe in keeping it simple, which is why our marketplace only shows restaurants that fit the customer's delivery location and needs.

We have integrated with multiple courier networks to enable a smooth delivery experience for you and your customers.

When an order comes in, HappyCatering will automatically calculate the delivery fee and add it to the order total that the customer pays. Once you accept the order, HappyCatering will schedule a driver from one of our courier partners and handle coordinating the delivery details. We'll send the customer live updates as their order is being prepared and delivered.

The delivery fees go to the courier to cover their costs and any tips go directly to the courier as well.

HappyBoards has served thousands of corporate customers in New York City over the last few years. These companies already trust our food, our service, and our hospitality.

Every time a customer orders from HappyBoards, we will guide them to discover new restaurants through HappyCatering.

We are not starting from zero. We are bringing real demand to the table on day one.

HappyCatering combines our existing customer base with a curated, operator friendly marketplace that puts restaurants first.
