Catering AI visibility is a two-brand fight with nothing close behind.

Total Party Planner and Caterease sit within 7 points of each other at the top, while the next brand trails by 16 points, making the rest of the field a secondary conversation. The rivalry has an interesting wrinkle: Caterease wins first-pick honors at 28% versus Total Party Planner's 19%, suggesting Claude in particular drives strong preference for Caterease with a score of 85. Tripleseat is the only credible third voice, but its 43 overall score and near-zero Claude presence keep it from threatening the lead pair.
