A related note about UI design. I've lately been seeing a lot of ads (mostly on Muni) for both ZeroCater and Cater2 (a competitor http://cater2.me http://cater2.me). What's interesting is how much better the clean ZC style looks compared to Cater2's ... frankly, amateurish resembling-developer-designed logo.

We were a ZeroCater customer and actually switched to Cater2.me. Service-wise, they are both pretty much equal with Cater2.me maybe having less repeats and being a little more friendly to special needs (vegans, gluten allergies, etc). Our office manager is on some kind of mailing list for other office managers and said there seemed to be widespread trend of offices switching to Cater2.me.

  We have made significant improvements to our service in regards to repeats and special needs in the last 8 months. We have a dedicated team of food scouts who are constantly searching for new, exciting vendors to send to our clients. Our current repertoire includes over one-hundred of the best, most reliable vendors in the Bay Area. We also keep detailed notes on every company's dietary restrictions and preferences and provide labels for all items that include notes if the item is vegan/gluten free/etc. If SeatMe ever decides to give us another shot, I promise I will personally bake and deliver cupcakes for the entire office. And my cupcakes are pretty good: http://i.imgur.com/fFlC5.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fFlC5.jpg . :) Daniel Piers - Engineer / Czar of Cupcakes @ ZeroCater

  Hi Aloisius, I'm the founder of ZeroCater. Sorry to hear you're no longer with us. I'd would be great to get your feedback on how we could improve our service. I'd love to grab a beer some time.

We started out with ZC and switched to Cater2.me after a few months. Turns out a better website doesn't translate to better food or service, who knew? Also Cater2.me just updated their site and seems to be putting more effort in on that side now. That makes sense to me. Food quality and customer service should be the focus, not the logo or even the UI.
