Zerocater is a San Francisco-founded corporate catering and workplace food company that builds and manages office food programs for businesses. It acts as an intermediary between employers and a curated network of local restaurants, caterers and chefs, covering daily corporate catering (buffet and individually boxed), chef-led on-site corporate cafeterias with snack and barista programs, and full-service event catering with on-site staffing. Its CaterAi product uses AI to recommend and assemble menus from a team's stated preferences, dietary restrictions and order history, and to book on-site staff and event decor. Zerocater states it serves 500+ companies across 12+ major U.S. metros including the SF Bay Area, New York, Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Phoenix. It runs a customer-facing ordering web application at app.zerocater.com backed by an undocumented Django REST Framework token-authenticated JSON API (v3), whose hypermedia root index is served anonymously, and it publishes a first-party Python client library on PyPI.
