Tools for caterers
The menu, the count and the kitchen.
Every business gets the pipeline, contracts, client portal, marketing and books. A catering business also gets the tools below, switched on the day it signs up.
A menu your clients choose from.
Build each event's menu from your dish book, course by course, with the allergens and marks on every dish. Offer two or three dishes where they get a choice.
Your clients pick on their portal's Menu tab until it locks, and approve the event order there too.
The guest count, meal by meal.
How many are coming, how many of each meal and each dietary need. Numbers only, never a guest's name.
Your clients give the final count on their portal before the day you set, and an optional reminder email goes out first if you switch it on.
One kitchen sheet for the whole night.
Every dish with how many to make, the dietary plates called out, and the kitchen's own prep notes. Print it and hang it on the pass.
Staff worked out from the count.
The run of service, and how many staff the night needs, by your own ratios.
If you're short, it says so in amber here, on the event and on Today.
Allergen cards, and tastings.
A card for every dish with what it contains, ready to print for the buffet or the bar.
Tastings are booked as sessions on the event, each with its own date and notes.
Everything else every business gets.
The same pipeline, contracts, portal, marketing and books as every trade, in your own words.
Sales
Inquiries, the pipeline, proposals, contracts and custom forms.
Planning
The plan for each event, the calendar, meetings, and a portal for each client.
Marketing
Social posts, Instagram messages and comments, reviews and campaigns.
Money
Invoices, payments, the books, and paying your team.
