In-flight catering dispatch

Built by someone
who's run the ramp.

AeroCater tracks every truck, driver, and trolley in real time. The person who built it spent years doing this by hand first, so it doesn't guess at what dispatch actually needs.

Why AeroCater exists

Eight years running catering ops. Long enough to see exactly where the old systems break.

"Generic logistics software doesn't know what a hydraulic scissor lift is, or a WB/NB pairing rule, or a 4-hour food-safety window. I got tired of bending someone else's software to fit an industry it wasn't built for, so I built my own."

— Founder, AeroCater · former in-flight catering dispatcher

Everything dispatch actually needs

Not a repurposed trucking platform. Every feature is built around the specific mechanics of in-flight catering.

01 — AUTO-DISPATCH

Assignments that respect real constraints

Matches trucks and drivers by drive-transition time, workload balance, and turnaround risk. It won't book a driver outside their shift or double-assign a truck.

02 — TROLLEY TRACKING

Chain-of-custody, not guesswork

Every trolley carries its own QR identity, so you know exactly when it left the kitchen, boarded the aircraft, and came back. Every scan is timestamped.

03 — DRIVER MOBILE APP

Built for a phone in a safety vest

Drivers check in and scan trolleys from a personal link. No separate login, no desktop, and it works one-handed at the unit.

04 — FLEET HEALTH

See a problem before it's a delay

Live hydraulic cycles, service windows, and alerts surface issues before a truck fails mid-turnaround.

One screen. Every truck, every flight.

Every shift, every driver, grouped and visible at a glance.

Truck health and live warnings, updated in real time.

At the commissary

Scan at the unit. Dispatch knows instantly.

No app to download, no separate password. Just a personal link and a camera.

  • Point-and-scan trolley QR labels at the commissary, no manual typing
  • Automatic duplicate and unknown-barcode detection
  • Manual entry fallback for damaged labels
  • Scans queue locally and sync the moment signal returns

Built to be trusted with live ops

Straight answers about how AeroCater is built and run. No vague reassurances.

Encrypted, access-controlled data

All data is encrypted in transit and stored with row-level security, so every user only ever sees the station and role they're authorized for. It's hosted on Supabase, which is SOC 2 Type II certified.

Individual driver identity

No shared logins. Every scan and every check-in is tied to a specific person, with a full audit trail.

Built around real operational timing

Food-safety windows, turnaround buffers, and shift boundaries are enforced in the dispatch logic itself, not left to a spreadsheet.

Direct support, not a ticket queue

You reach the people who build AeroCater directly, not a tiered support desk reading from a script.

Pricing

Sized to your station, not a seat license

AeroCater is priced around your fleet size and station count, not a flat per-user fee that punishes you for growing your team. Tell us about your operation and we'll size a plan around it.
