CaterDash, a Vancouver-based startup, is transforming the catering landscape for tech events and organizations across British Columbia and beyond. Founded by Shreyansh Manchanda, CaterDash offers a streamlined marketplace that enables companies to source, customize, and manage catering orders with unprecedented speed and flexibility.
Unlike traditional catering services, which can be slow and inflexible, CaterDash empowers customers to mix and match cuisines from a curated selection of top local restaurants, with pricing options to suit any budget. The platform’s user-friendly interface allows for instant quotes, menu customization, and full-service logistics support, making it easy to place orders in seconds.
Manchanda’s vision for CaterDash was inspired by his experience in the restaurant industry, where he saw the untapped potential of catering as a revenue stream. Recognizing that many restaurants lacked the resources to scale their catering operations, he built CaterDash as a full-stack solution that bridges the gap—helping restaurants grow without added overhead or disruption to daily business.
Since its launch, CaterDash has delivered thousands of meals to over 250 clients, including major names like Microsoft, Amazon, RBC, PepsiCo, BMO, P&G, and Arc’teryx. The company has quickly become the preferred catering partner for Vancouver’s tech scene and has expanded its reach to Toronto and Calgary.
CaterDash’s early success is rooted in a hands-on approach: Manchanda personally managed and delivered catering for hundreds of events, building trust with both customers and restaurant partners. This dedication has established CaterDash’s reputation for reliability and quality.
Now, the company is broadening its services to include weddings, conferences, festivals, and other large-scale events, opening new opportunities for restaurants and expanding its market across North America.
Headquartered in B.C., CaterDash draws on Vancouver’s vibrant food culture, diverse events market, and collaborative tech community. These local values—community, sustainability, and quality—are central to the company’s mission.
As a finalist for the BC Tech Company of the Year – Startup award, CaterDash is proud to be recognized for its innovation and impact. The team remains motivated by the support of the local community and is committed to redefining catering for organizations everywhere.
