MONKEY Media Expands Catering Capabilities With NCC Partnership

MONKEY Media Software, the leading catering management platform for enterprise restaurant brands, today announced a formal partnership with New Catering Connections (NCC), a specialized catering consultancy, designating NCC as a Trusted Operational Advisor to MONKEY’s brand network. The partnership will make NCC’s deep catering expertise available to MONKEY clients looking to accelerate sales growth, sharpen their operations, and unlock the full potential of their catering programs.

Through the partnership, NCC will work directly with MONKEY brands in an advisory and consulting capacity — supporting operators across a range of catering challenges, from building the organizational foundations of a high-performing catering program to driving the day-to-day execution that turns opportunity into revenue. The scope of engagement will be tailored to each brand’s needs, giving operators a trusted resource to call on at any stage of their catering journey.

The partnership is a natural extension of MONKEY’s position as an enterprise catering platform. While MONKEY provides the technology infrastructure — order taking and eCommerce, CRM & marketing, order management & operations, delivery, and more — NCC brings the human expertise and operational know-how to help brands activate that infrastructure to its fullest. Together, the two organizations offer restaurant groups a more complete path to catering growth: the right system, backed by the right support.

“We’re thrilled to formalize what has already been a close and productive working relationship,” said Ben Pidduck, CEO of MONKEY Media Software. “NCC brings a rare depth of experience — spanning an enormous range of restaurant formats, catering models, and operational environments. Making that expertise readily available to our partners is a natural next step, and we believe it will meaningfully accelerate what our brands are able to achieve with catering.”

New Catering Connections brings decades of collective experience advising restaurant operators on catering strategy and execution, with a track record across independent brands, regional chains, and large enterprise groups. Their work spans the full catering lifecycle — from sales development and team structure to menu strategy and operational systems — making them a versatile resource for brands at any stage of growth.
