Canadian AI-powered corporate catering platform Platterz is set to close a $15m Series A funding round led by Aleph, a venture capital fund.

Platterz CEO and co-founder Eran Henig said: “The process of ordering food for the office is extremely outdated.
“Our clients are adopting our solution and quickly learning that catering works best when powered by predictive technology, and this is why we’ve shown such tremendous growth since our launch. Aleph’s data-driven approach to scaling businesses is the perfect strategic fit for us and we couldn’t be more excited to have them join the Platterz family.”
Platterz’ on-demand catering option ‘predictive meal builder’ serves corporate lunches, meetings and events.
The platform helps companies in receiving quotes and menus from restaurants and caterers, thereby reducing their food ordering time by 90%.
