Moe’s Southwest Grill partners with MonkeyMedia for catering program

May 19, 2014

Moe's Southwest Grill has partnered with MonkeyMedia Software to deploy MonkeyCatering and MonkeyOnlineOrdering to support its catering online ordering and database platforms systemwide.

Moe’s tested MonkeyMedia Software’s catering platform for two years with a pilot group of both franchise and corporate-owned locations in cities such as Atlanta, Indianapolis, Miami, Nashville, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., among others. The decision came after all success criteria, including sales growth, functionality, ordering benchmarks and test partner feedback were met.

“During the pilot program, MonkeyMedia Software proved to be an excellent partner, and with the support of our franchise council and Catering Committee members, we’re looking forward to launching their platform to help drive catering sales across our more than 500 locations,” Jamie Schlef, Moe’s director of Catering, said in a news release.

Moe’s and MonkeyMedia Software are developing a rollout plan for June 2014 with a goal of improving the efficiency of franchise partners’ catering business and increase catering sales by providing consumers with online access to Moe’s catering offerings.

"This agreement stems from the many years we have spent getting to know the Moe's executive leadership team and we are proud to be their off-premise catering strategy, education and software partners of choice," ErleDardick, founder and CEO of MonkeyMedia, said in the release. "We are now setting up the Moe's off-premise catering experience to be one of unparalleled success among its competitors and the industry. We look forward to being part of their catering sales success in the years to come.”
