A Catering Service line has been added to most of the drop-off service catalogs in the Catering Marketplace. This will allow users to enter a one-line order for event food, beverages, disposables, etc. as quoted by the supplier. Rooster’s, Chick Fil-A, and Mazah Mediterranean Eatery catalogs do not include this line yet but may in the coming days.
