Blue Carrot Catering | Email Print Automation

Orders In, Printed Out, No One Touches a Button

In a catering operation, orders arrive by email and the kitchen needs them on paper immediately. There is no time for someone to manually download an attachment, open it, and hit print. The workflow needs to be automatic: order comes in, document prints out, kitchen starts working.

The Challenge

Blue Carrot needed an automated way to print emails and their attachments as they arrived. The company had previously used Google Cloud Print, but when that service was discontinued, they needed a replacement that could handle automated printing without requiring a VPN or a print server on site.

"ezeep Hub has allowed us to have our local printer available online without having to set up a VPN or print server. ezeep is easy to set up and does what we need."

The Solution

Blue Carrot now uses ezeep in combination with Zapier and an ezeep Hub. Zapier automates the printing of incoming emails and attachments, and the ezeep Hub makes the local printer available online without any VPN or print server setup.

"ezeep along with Zapier has enabled us to automate printing of various emails and attachments," says James Stuart, Managing Director at Blue Carrot Catering. "ezeep has also made printing offsite easier, no VPN is required."

The Outcome

Order emails and attachments are printed automatically as they arrive. The kitchen and logistics teams get the information they need on paper without anyone manually triggering a print job. Offsite printing is also simplified with no VPN required.

Why It Matters

Catering operations run on timing. When an order email arrives, the kitchen needs to see it immediately. Automated email-to-print through ezeep and Zapier removes the human step entirely. For any food service or event business where orders arrive by email and need to reach a physical location quickly, this is a proven, straightforward automation.
