Sous Chef announces strategic partnership with Catapult to power delivery operations across more than 600 restaurants. Oct 22, 2026, 08:05 ET Sous Chef gives Catapult one system to run every delivery order, with AI agents that monitor each storefront around the clock to cut cancellations and errors and lift performance across more than 600 kitchens. NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Catapult, a fast-growing leader in virtual restaurant brands, today announced it is deploying Sous Chef across its network of more than 600 restaurants in the US and Canada to power third-party delivery. Sous Chef connects every delivery app to Catapult's kitchens through a single Sous Chef tablet, and then manages every storefront 24/7. Its AI agents don't just send alerts. They act: they pause and reopen storefronts, catch order and menu issues, and keep every store online and ranking on every app. The partnership also gives Catapult direct access to the Sous Chef API, so its team can build its own tools and workflows on top of the platform. Across Sous Chef's network of thousands of storefronts, restaurants in their first 90 days on Sous Chef saw downtime fall 58% and cancellations fall 33%. "Partnering with Sous Chef gives us the infrastructure and software to keep scaling our platform," said Jake Schostak, Chief Executive Officer of Catapult. "Our aspiration is to grow to thousands of restaurants in the coming years, and Sous Chef is what lets us get there without adding complexity for our partners or our team." "Catapult is growing fast, and at that scale delivery has to run reliably across thousands of storefronts at once," said Marcel Grangien, Chief Executive Officer of Sous Chef. "That is exactly what Sous Chef was built for. It runs the entire operation from one place, with AI agents on every storefront that find and fix problems in real time, before they cost orders. This is what autonomous delivery operations look like, and it is what lets Catapult scale without limits." The partnership comes as more restaurant revenue shifts to delivery and operators look for ways to manage it at scale. Sous Chef is expanding rapidly across independent restaurants, multi-unit groups, and enterprise chains, with the Catapult rollout among its largest to date.
