⚡ TL;DR
Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest catering days of the year. Pre-orders reduce chaos and lock in revenue.
Outbites charges a flat $1 per order. No monthly fees, no commission. You get a mobile-friendly ordering site, QR codes, SMS reminders, and you keep every dollar except that $1.
Why it’s the best option: Your site ranks on Google, customers can order and pay online, and you get a clear order list and optional cutoff. No phone tag or spreadsheets. Perfect for food trucks, pop-ups, and restaurants doing game day catering.
Menu Drops (advance orders): For vendors who want even more control: customers order ahead using a unique link, choose a pickup time slot, and orders are grouped by time so you know exactly what to prep and what to order from Sysco. Separate from your regular menu; limited-time events only. Predictable prep, no last-minute chaos, better capacity planning.
Why Super Bowl Catering Is Huge (And Messy Without a System)
Game day means big orders: trays of wings, tacos, sliders, and platters. Customers want to pre-order so they’re not waiting at the counter during kickoff. If you’re taking orders by phone or DMs, you’re losing time, losing orders, and often losing margin to third-party apps.
Pre-orders fix that. Set a menu, a pickup date (Super Bowl Sunday), and optionally a cutoff. Customers order and pay online. You get one clear list, you prep in advance, and you’re not buried in last-minute chaos. The only question is which platform you use, and that’s where Outbites wins.

Why Outbites Is the Best Option for Super Bowl Catering
Outbites is built for food trucks and independent restaurants. No enterprise contracts, no percentage of your game day revenue. Just $1 per order and a platform that’s designed to rank on Google and convert.
- Flat $1 per order. No commission. No 15–30% taken from your Super Bowl orders.

- Mobile-first ordering site. Your brand, your menu, your link. Works on every device.
- SEO-friendly. Your site can rank for “your city + catering” and “game day” so new customers find you.
- QR codes. Put a code on flyers, tables, or at the bar so people can order without typing a URL.
- SMS and reminders. Send pickup times and confirmations so no one forgets.
- You own the customer. Every order builds your list for next year’s game day and beyond.
How Super Bowl Pre-Orders Work on Outbites
Setup is fast. You add your catering items (trays, platters, combos), set the pickup date and time (e.g. Super Bowl Sunday, 2–4 PM), and share your link. Customers order and pay; you get a clear list and can send SMS reminders as pickup approaches. No spreadsheets, no commission.
- Create your menu and set a pickup window.
- Share your link and/or QR code (Instagram, flyers, email).
- Orders roll in; you see them in one place.
- Send reminders so customers know when to pick up.
- You keep every dollar except $1 per order.
Menu Drops: Advance Orders for Vendors Who Want Control
If you’ve ever wanted to take catering orders ahead of time with time slots instead of one big window: this is it. Menu Drops let you run advance orders on a unique link, separate from your regular menu. Customers pick a slot; you get orders grouped by time so you know exactly what to prep and what to order from Sysco. Limited-time events only. No mixing with your day-to-day menu.
How it works
- Customers order ahead using a unique link (your Menu Drop link).
- They choose a pickup time slot (e.g. 2:00 PM, 2:20 PM, 2:40 PM).
- Orders are grouped by time so you see exactly what to prep and when, and what to order from Sysco in advance.
- Separate from your regular menu. Limited-time events only, so your main menu stays clean.
Why this helps
- Predictable prep. No surprises. You know how many wings, trays, or boxes per slot.
- Smoother flow. No last-minute chaos; customers show up in waves, not all at once.
- Better capacity planning. Set limits per slot (e.g. ~50 wings every 20 min). You control volume so the kitchen and Sysco order stay manageable.
Super Bowl example
- Time slots every 20 minutes. e.g. 1:00, 1:20, 1:40, 2:00 … so pickup is staggered.
- Limit orders per slot. e.g. 10 orders per slot = 500 wings per slot. You set the cap so you’re not over prepping or under ordering from Sysco.
- Customers order ahead and show up at their slot. No line chaos, no “when’s my order?” You both know the deal.
Same $1 per order. Same unique link. Just with time slots and limits so game day runs smooth.
Outbites vs Commission-Based Apps
Third-party apps take a percentage of every order. On a $200 catering order, 20% is $40, gone. With Outbites, you pay $1 and keep $199. Scale that across dozens of game day orders and the difference is hundreds or thousands of dollars in your pocket.
Quick math (50 game day orders, $150 avg)
