Find the caterers to call, and what to say before the busy season.
Oxpium builds the list of caterers in your area, finds the owner, tells you when one of them is hiring or launching a new offer, and runs the campaign midweek, when the kitchen is quiet.

Every caterer in your area, in one sentence.
Weddings, corporate events, boxed lunches, drop-off catering: describe the target the way you'd tell a colleague. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, reads the websites, removes the duplicates, and hands you a list, not a page of results.

A specialty
Weddings, corporate events, boxed lunches, BBQ or kosher: the agent reads each caterer's website and keeps the ones that do what you're after.
An area
A city, a metro area or a radius around your warehouse: the list follows the area you deliver to and drive through, not the whole country.
A size
Headcount from professional databases and the capacity shown on the website: from the chef cooking alone to the 50-person catering company.
A clientele
Couples, companies, schools or venues: the agent reads who the website speaks to, wedding quotes or online box lunch orders, and notes it.
The owner, the offer and how clients order, row by row.
At a catering company, the owner is often the chef too: they pick the suppliers, the equipment and the event staff. The agent finds them, reads each company's website to fill in the columns your campaign needs, and verifies every email.

The owner
Their name, a verified email and a cell when there is one: at most catering companies, the chef-owner signs off on every purchase.
What they do
Weddings, cocktail parties, corporate events, boxed lunches: the agent reads the website and checks off what each caterer offers, one column each.
Their capacity
The guest count they advertise, the delivery area, the lead time: enough to know whether you're talking to a small shop or a big operation.
How clients order
Online ordering, a quote request, email or phone: the column shows how each caterer sells today, and where your offer can help them.
Automations that spot the caterers that are growing.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just moved to the top of the list: an event staff posting, a new offer, reviews about late deliveries. Those are your signals.

Hiring
Every morning, the caterers looking for cooks, event captains or servers move to the top of the list: a busy season is coming their way.
New offers
Every week, the agent rereads the websites and flags the caterers launching boxed lunches, a food truck or online ordering for offices.
Reviews on one topic
Every month, the agent rereads recent reviews and flags the caterers whose clients mention late deliveries, cold food or missing items.
Your own watch
Any watch written in one sentence: holiday menus posted, a new event space, a second kitchen. The agent reruns it and tells you what changed.
A campaign that lands between two events.
Email from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and an agent step that starts from each caterer's offer and capacity. The campaign avoids event weekends and prep mornings, and stops as soon as the owner replies.
Subject Boxed lunches at caterer
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Midweek
Tuesday to Thursday, in the afternoon: weekends belong to weddings and mornings to prep, so the sending window follows the caterer's week.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser, and every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right on the caterer's row, ready for the next call.
About their business
Guest count, boxed lunches, open roles: every email starts from the list's columns, and the agent step rewrites each follow-up for each caterer.
Stops on reply
As soon as a caterer replies or says “call me after the holidays”, the campaign stops for them. You take it from there, and no follow-up goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “caterers in Orange and San Diego counties that do weddings”. The agent searches business listings and professional databases, reads each website, keeps the ones that show a wedding offer, and hands you the list with rating, phone and website.
Ask: “read each caterer's website and note how many guests it can serve”. The agent fills in the column when the website shows it, and marks “Not found” otherwise rather than guessing.
Tell the agent once: “every morning, flag the caterers on my list that post a job opening”. The ones looking for servers, captains or cooks land at the top of your list with a “Hiring” badge, often a few weeks before the holidays.
An email built from their offer, a call two days later midweek, a follow-up the agent writes from their website and reviews, a last message. Emails go out from your own mailbox, calls from your browser, and it all stops as soon as the owner replies.
For 300 caterers with their website read, 220 emails and about a hundred cell phones, count around €45 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,200 to €2,000 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Yes. The agent reads each website and listing: write “catering companies only, no restaurants” and it keeps the ones built around events and quotes, and drops the restaurants where catering is a side page.
