Holiday party catering, without losing December
Six weeks that carry a third of the year's revenue, booked in a rush, delivered in a fortnight. Nothing here is hard individually. All of it at once is what breaks.
December is a concurrency problem
Twelve events in two weeks, overlapping prep, one walk-in and one crew. The failures are always the same three: the same stock promised twice, the same person rostered twice, and a shopping trip that missed something because the list was per-event.
What actually helps
One shopping list across the fortnight. Ingredients combine across every event in the window, netted against stock, split by supplier when you order.
Stock that counts what is spoken for. A quote holds the food without taking it, so twenty kilos with eighteen promised reads as two.
Crew hours visible before you commit. Who is already on which day, and how many hours they are carrying.
Prep tasks worked back from service, so the thing that needs two days starts two days out rather than on the morning.
Nothing is metered when you are busy
Twelve events in a fortnight costs the same as two. The only pay-as-you-go item is FDA nutrition labels at $5 each; everything else is included on both plans.
Questions people ask
Can I see everything I need to buy for the whole run?
Yes. Ask for the week or the month and the list combines every event in that window into one, netted against what you already hold.
Does it cost more in a busy month?
No. The plans are flat — $99 or $149 a month. The only metered item is FDA nutrition labels at $5 each.
Ten minutes gets a real event in — your menu, your prices, a quote you could send. The 14-day trial takes no credit card.
