The Best ezCater Alternative for Office Catering
Looking for a better way to feed your team? Disco is a curated office catering platform serving New York City and Los Angeles. Unlike ezCater's open marketplace, every restaurant on Disco is invite-only — hand-selected for food quality, reliability, and presentation.
Trusted by office managers, executive assistants, and workplace teams who want quality food, not just a big catalog.

Why Office Managers Switch from ezCater to Disco
1. Quality you can count on
Every restaurant on Disco is hand-selected and regularly reviewed. There is no open marketplace, no mystery vendors. If it appears on Disco, it has been vetted for food quality, packaging, and on-time delivery.
2. Dietary needs actually handled
Vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal — Disco verifies dietary options at the restaurant level before they appear on the platform. No more hunting through menus or hoping the caterer got it right.
3. Transparent, all-in pricing
No service fee surprises at checkout. The price shown is the price paid. Budgeting for weekly team lunches becomes predictable and straightforward.
4. Built for repeat weekly orders
Office managers and executive assistants order catering week after week. Disco saves order preferences and setups, making every repeat order fast. Weekly lunch routines require minimal effort once established.
5. Support that picks up the phone
When something goes wrong on the morning of a client lunch, Disco's support team is reachable by phone — not a ticket queue. A real person resolves the issue before the meal is affected.
6. Food teams actually look forward to
Disco sources from restaurants people would choose on their own time — not just vendors who met a minimum requirement to list on a marketplace. The result is food teams notice, remember, and request again.

What Office Managers Say About Disco
"We used ezCater for two years and it was fine. Disco is the first platform where I actually enjoy the ordering process — and our team notices the difference in the food."
— Sarah K., Office Manager, Financial Services, NYC
"I manage dietary restrictions for 40 people. On ezCater it was a constant source of anxiety. On Disco, it's handled before I even have to ask."
— Marcus T., Executive Assistant, Tech Company, NYC
"The curation is the whole thing. I don't want 3,000 options — I want 30 great ones. Disco understood that before I even explained it."
— Priya M., Workplace Experience Lead, Los Angeles
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Disco available in my city?
Disco is currently live in New York City and Los Angeles, with Chicago coming soon. Both cities are covered across all major neighborhoods and business districts.
What makes Disco a better ezCater alternative?
ezCater is an open marketplace where any vendor can list. Disco is invite-only — every restaurant is vetted for food quality, reliability, and presentation before appearing on the platform. The result is a fundamentally different quality of experience for your team.
What is the minimum order size?
Disco works for teams of any size, from a 10-person team lunch to a 200-person all-hands event. Each restaurant listing clearly shows its minimum order, with no surprise fees at checkout.
How does Disco handle dietary restrictions?
Dietary options are verified at the restaurant level — not self-reported by the vendor. Filtering for vegan, gluten-free, kosher, or halal returns confirmed options, not guesses.
Can I set up recurring weekly orders?
Yes. Disco is designed for the reality of weekly office catering. Order setups can be saved, recurring deliveries scheduled, and everything managed from a single dashboard.
What happens if something goes wrong with my order?
Disco's support team is reachable by phone on the day of your order. There are no ticket queues or automated responses — a real person handles issues directly and quickly.
How is Disco different from other ezCater alternatives like Fooda or EAT Club?
Fooda and EAT Club operate recurring pop-up models, which work well for fixed locations with regular schedules. Disco is an on-demand platform with a curated restaurant marketplace — better suited for teams that need flexibility in cuisine, headcount, and timing.
