Catering Companies Driving the Digital Transformation of Traditional Services in India

Catering food is a common practice in India, and when it comes to ordering food for small groups, our first instinct is to rely on proximity and ratings on platforms like Google Maps. That's just how the typical Indian mindset works when choosing the best caterer.
However, most caterers prefer large quantity orders and often don't entertain smaller ones. So, when you're trying to order for just 10 to 20 people, it becomes a real challenge. In such cases, people usually turn to platforms like Zomato or Swiggy and place orders through restaurants.
But do these platforms truly meet their needs? Absolutely not.
Caterers understand the dynamics of group meals far better than restaurants, which operate with a completely different mindset. So, how is this challenge being addressed? Who is working to change the existing model? And how are they doing it?
Enter Ohieo.com a food-tech startup by passionate entrepreneurs aiming to bridge this gap. Ohieo.com is perfectly positioned to serve the needs of small group catering, offering features like:
Menu customization based on customer preferences

Instant online estimates

Menu comparisons and budget optimization

Catering patterns are entirely different from typical restaurant orders. Ohieo.com platform allows customers to choose exactly what they want. Yes, users do need to spend some time customizing their menu but that's the beauty of it. The platform is designed to let users think like a chef. And that's absolutely amazing crafting your own event menu instead of choosing from generic notepad-style lists.
Is this feature actually being used?

Yes, and the numbers speak for themselves. Ohieo.com has already attracted over 500k users through its experimental model and market research approach. It's not just revolutionizing catering, it's also helping many traditional caterers transition from offline note-taking to a fully digital model.

What about the market?

We're not just redefining the catering landscape with tailored solutions, we're offering a personalized approach that helps every caterer get involved, regardless of their scale or experience. The market for small-scale catering needs in India is estimated to be around $270 million per day. Filling this gap isn't something a single platform can achieve overnight but by minimizing group sizes and scaling personalized catering, Ohieo.com is setting the stage for success.
Who are the players in this market?
Unfortunately, there is currently no recognized player in India offering dedicated online catering solutions like the platform fulfilled. While there are some players in the U.S., such as EZ Cater, who offer similar solutions, they mainly operate as aggregators or listing platforms without their own dedicated branches.
However, Ohieo.com offers a unique solution by providing a single menu across multiple locations, combining all catering options under one pricing structure which sets it apart from EZ Cater and others in the market.

Is Ohieo.com funded?

Not yet. Our primary goal is to ensure that we are fully satisfied with our platform and operations before seeking funding from investors. Since launching in 2022 in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, we've identified and addressed several gaps in the catering industry within Bengaluru. Currently, our services are operated exclusively in Bengaluru, and we have refined our model. Now, we have our flagship platform, Ohieo.com read to expand, which offers a comprehensive solution for easily and efficiently customizing catering menus. We plan to expand our model to other cities soon, followed by seeking funding after achieving success.
