FULFLLD has expanded its integration with ezCater, allowing restaurants to complete ezCater self-delivery orders through the FULFLLD driver app. The integration enables brands to manage ezCater deliveries alongside other channels from a single dashboard, whilst meeting ezCater's live tracking requirements. According to ezCater's 2026 Workplace Catering Insights, 94% of workplace customers expect delivery notifications for their orders.

The platform is designed for multi-location restaurant groups and catering operators managing their own delivery fleets.

Workplace Catering is a powerful acquisition engine for restaurants new ezcater data reveals. 96% of workplaces tried a new restaurant in 2025, and 62% of employees later ordered from those brands in their personal lives DALLAS & BOSTON [May 5, 2026] - ezCater, the #1 food tech platform for workplaces in the US, today released new data at its 2026 Catering Growth Forum during the Food on Demand Conference. The findings, based on ezCater platform data and survey insights from over 2,300 workplace food stakeholders, show the workplace is a major growth opportunity for restaurants. "Food has evolved from a perk to a strategic lever for workplace productivity and culture," said Cindy Klein Roche, Chief Growth Officer, ezCater. "Employee meal programs are now core to organizations' strategy to bring employees together. For restaurants, that means predictable, high-frequency demand - and a powerful engine for customer acquisition." Additional ezCater survey insights and platform data on the workplace food market include: * Workplaces are increasing their investment in food. 91% of workplaces plan to spend the same or more on food in 2026, up from 82% in 2024. In fact, one in five plan to increase their spending by more than 25% this year. * Employee meal programs are a strong response to rising in-office expectations. 79% of hybrid employees say employer-provided food would make them more likely to stay with a company with an on-site mandate. Consequently, daily or weekly meal programs have spiked 26% year-over-year. Employers frequently cover the cost, with 81% of meals free to employees. * Workplace catering is a powerful customer acquisition engine for restaurants. 96% of workplaces tried a new restaurant in 2025. This exposure leads to long-term loyalty, with 62% of employees who first try a restaurant at work ordering from those same restaurants in their personal lives, and 67% recommending them to family and friends. * Menu design is a make-or-break factor in capturing workplace food orders. More robust, descriptive menus see twice as many bookings on ezcater.com.
