About Urban Kitchen Collective
Urban Kitchen Collective operates three full-service catering facilities across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Founded in 2018, they quickly became a go-to provider for corporate events, conferences, and large-scale gatherings throughout New York City.
Managing operations across multiple locations created significant coordination challenges. Each location operated somewhat independently, leading to inconsistent processes, inventory duplication, and communication gaps.
The Challenge
Fragmented Operations
With three separate locations, Urban Kitchen struggled to maintain consistency and efficiency. Each location had its own inventory, staff, and processes, making it difficult to coordinate large events or share resources.
- Inventory duplication across locations led to excess stock and waste
- Inconsistent pricing between locations confused clients and hurt profitability
- Staff couldn't be shared between locations due to scheduling conflicts
- Financial reporting required manual consolidation from three separate systems
The Solution
Unified Operations Platform
Urban Kitchen implemented CaterOne's Infrastructure plan in 2023, creating a centralized system for all three locations. The platform's multi-user capabilities and advanced permissions allowed each location manager to operate independently while maintaining visibility across the organization.
Centralized Inventory
View inventory across all locations. Transfer items between facilities and prevent duplication.
Cross-Location Staff
Share staff between locations efficiently. Smart scheduling prevents conflicts and optimizes labor costs.
Unified Reporting
Consolidated financial reports across all locations. Compare performance and identify optimization opportunities.
The Results
Quantifiable Impact
Eliminated duplicate inventory purchases and optimized cross-location resource sharing.
Reduced waste, eliminated duplication, and optimized purchasing across all locations.
Streamlined processes and centralized data reduced time spent on coordination and reporting.

"CaterOne gave us the visibility and control we needed across all three locations. We eliminated waste, reduced costs, and can now operate as one cohesive organization instead of three separate businesses."
