Route optimization software for caterers

Deliver every customer right on time, even with 30 orders in the same time slot. Multi-vehicle included.

Free plan: 5 routes/month, no credit card required.

Your daily challenges

Caterers have almost zero margin for error on delivery time.

Delivery peak in 1-2 hours

At noon you must deliver 20 corporate lunches in under 90 minutes. Without optimization, it's unmanageable by hand.

Non-negotiable arrival time

A 12:00 business lunch must arrive at 11:45, not 12:15. One minute late and you lose the customer.

Multiple vehicles to coordinate

With 2 or 3 drivers running simultaneously, how do you split orders to minimize total time?

Hot food and cold chain

The longer the delivery takes, the lower the quality. Every extra mile is a risk to product quality.

How OptiRoad helps you

Four features built for time-critical deliveries.

Strict time windows (Pro/Business)

Set each customer's exact slot. The VRPTW algorithm respects these constraints, prioritizing the tightest deadlines.

Multi-vehicle (Business)

Optimize 2 to 10 routes in parallel. The Clarke-Wright Savings VRP solver splits orders automatically to minimize total time.

Per-stop arrival and departure times

Detailed schedule shows expected arrival time at each customer, plus the dwell time before leaving.

Per-vehicle PDF export

Clean route sheet for each driver, exportable individually as PDF or CSV.

Your catering morning with OptiRoad

From chaotic schedule to organized dispatch in minutes.

1

Dispatch with one route sheet per driver

Each driver gets their PDF with addresses, ETA, contacts. You manage kitchen production stress-free.

Frequently asked questions from caterers

On Business, you set how many vehicles are available. The Clarke-Wright Savings algorithm splits orders automatically, then optimizes the internal order of each route (TSP).

The algorithm flags delays at compute time. You know in advance that a customer might be delivered late and can add a vehicle or shift the start.

Yes: each address can have a specific service time (5, 10, 15 minutes...). Configurable per stop or as a default for your account.
