Cabo Bob's, a popular restaurant with multiple locations in Texas, struggled to manage its growing catering business using traditional pen-and-paper methods. As the company expanded, the need for a more efficient system became evident.
That's when Cabo Bob's decided to implement CaterZen's catering software solution that helped streamline their catering operations and boost their growth.
