MISSION BBQ has selected ezCater as its first-ever third-party marketplace partner

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ezCater, the #1 food tech platform for workplaces in the US, today announced that MISSION BBQ has joined its platform to grow the brand's catering program. All 152 MISSION BBQ locations are now available on ezCater, marking the restaurant’s first appearance on a third-party marketplace.

MISSION BBQ joined ezCater to reach high-value business customers across the country — from offices and distribution centers to hospitals, universities, and sports teams. The relationship gives the fast-casual restaurant access to large workplace food orders without the costs of building a corporate sales team.

MISSION BBQ is known for its active commitment to honoring America's military service members, police officers, and firefighters. Their launch on ezCater comes just before Veterans Day, offering workplaces a meaningful way to show appreciation for their teams while supporting a mission-driven restaurant.

"By partnering with ezCater, we are unlocking a significant new revenue stream, while deepening our mission to serve great food and honor those who serve,” said Bill Kraus, Founder, MISSION BBQ. "It is the most efficient way to expand our catering program and bring our barbecue to workplaces for team lunches, meetings, events, and more.”

The average order value for MISSION BBQ ezCater orders is more than $430. MISSION BBQ expects this channel to become a key growth driver for the brand, with ezCater orders becoming as much as 3% of their total business.

"The role of food in the workplace has fundamentally changed from a simple perk to a critical way to build a better on-site experience," said Cindy Klein Roche, Chief Growth Officer, ezCater. "We're thrilled to bring MISSION BBQ to workplaces nationwide because they reliably deliver the kind of memorable meals that help our customers build a stronger, more connected culture."
