Honestly, CaterCamp Isn't For You If
- •You run a single-venue restaurant with no catering arm — POS systems serve you better.
- •You need enterprise features like SAP integration or 1000+ user provisioning — we're built for small and mid-size catering teams.
- •You prefer software that takes 6 weeks of setup and dedicated IT — CaterCamp is self-serve and works on day one.
