How promotions grow catering sales

01

Win the first order

First-order-only codes and welcome offers turn browsers into booked catering clients on your storefront.

02

Lift the basket

Minimum spend, free delivery thresholds, and BOGO on volume items push guests toward the cart size you want.

03

Bring them back

Win-back mailers, conference badge coupons, and seasonal campaigns keep past clients ordering again.

Every channel can sell more catering. Put the right offer in front of the right buyer.

Summer campaigns on the storefront. Unique codes in a print mailer. Free delivery that unlocks at $500. A recovery coupon locked to one corporate account. Prep Station runs the offer so sales can focus on booking the next event.

Take catering growth seriously

Promotions are how you open markets and fill the calendar—not a side discount someone types after the quote is already done.

Four reward shapes

Pick the lever that grows the order

Percent off for a seasonal push. Dollars off a beverage package. Free delivery that rewards a bigger cart. A free product that makes boxed-lunch volume irresistible. Scope each reward to the whole order, specific items or categories, or one unit of the cheapest qualifying line.

Sales playbook

Meet buyers where they already are

One promotion engine covers online checkout, print campaigns, and the phone desk—so every channel can push volume without inventing a new discount process.

01

Online storefront

Campaign codes at checkout plus automatic offers that apply the moment the cart qualifies—no staff in the loop.

Explore storefront

02

Print mailers

Batch-generate single-use coupons, export CSV for the print house, and track redemptions when the order confirms.

03

Phone & back office

Honour the same code on a phoned-in quote. Sales applies it before the document goes out.

Explore sales orders

04

Events & badges

Conference or tasting-night coupons, nominative recovery credits, and seasonal windows that open and close on schedule.

Target the offer

Shape campaigns that convert

Code or automatic. Storefront, back office, or both. Schedule the window, set the sequence, and qualify on minimum spend, quantity, menu items, categories, delivery vs pickup, service day, pricing tier, specific customers, or first-order-only.

  • Cap percent-off so large events stay profitable
  • Limit uses per campaign and per customer
  • Run a region-wide push that reaches every kitchen

Mailers & win-backs

Coupons that fill the next week’s book

Mint a shared seasonal code for email and social, or generate hundreds of single-use coupons for a mailer or badge. Lock a nominative code to one customer for service recovery that cannot walk the whole office. Usage counts at confirmation—so a glance at a code does not burn the campaign.

  • Export CSV straight to the print house
  • Redeem online or on a phoned-in sales order
  • Savings named on quote, BEO, email, and invoice

From offer to packed trays

Sell the promotion. Kitchen still gets one ticket.

Free products become real lines. Discounts print on the documents the team already uses. More booked volume without a second system of record.

Promotions that ride your whole sales stack

Customers redeem on your online storefront. Staff honour the same codes on sales orders and quotes. Free-delivery rewards sit next to your delivery fee engine. See pricing for plans.

Questions catering teams ask

Straight answers about reward types, mailers, storefront codes, and growing order size.

What kinds of promotions can Prep Station run?

Four reward shapes: percent off, dollars off, free delivery, or a free product added as a real order line. Apply the discount to the whole order, specific menu items or categories, or one unit of the cheapest qualifying item for buy-N-get-one-free.

Can customers enter a promo code on the storefront?

Yes. Customers redeem campaign codes in the cart, see the savings before they pay, and automatic offers apply without a code when the order qualifies.

Can we generate single-use coupon batches for mailers?

Yes. Generate hundreds of unique codes for a mailer, conference badge, or win-back campaign. Each can be redeemable once, and you can export CSV for the print house. Optionally lock a code to one customer.

How do promotions help grow order size?

Set minimum spend or quantity so the offer rewards a larger cart, offer free delivery above a threshold, or run buy-N-get-one on high-volume items like boxed lunches. Caps keep a big event from consuming the whole campaign.

Do promotions stack with negotiated customer discounts?

You control it. Mark a program combinable or exclusive, set sequence so the right campaign wins, and decide whether it may sit on top of a customer’s negotiated discount. Promotions never rewrite staff discount fields.

When does a promotion count against usage limits?

At confirmation—not when someone types a code into an abandoned cart. Cancelling the order releases the use so the customer keeps their entitlement.

Which plan includes promotions?

Promotions ship in the Catering tier (and above). They require sales orders. See pricing for current plans.
