Catering Cat is a web app (B2B software) for food businesses – catering, hotels, restaurants, canteens and bakeries. Businesses use it to maintain their dishes with ingredients and the 14 major allergens under EU law, have the allergen information reviewed and print buffet cards, allergen overviews and digital menus. Until November 2026 the product was called “Buffetschilder” (buffetschilder.de).
