Software for wedding caterers
One wedding is worth thirty drop-offs, booked a year ahead, and lost to whoever replies first. The job is to answer the enquiry before the other three caterers do, and to still have the details right in eleven months.
Your enquiry problem is a speed problem
A couple enquiring on a Sunday evening is enquiring with four caterers in the same hour. The one who comes back with a real priced proposal first is in a different conversation. Sunday evening is also when you are working, which is the whole difficulty.
The chat on your page answers them while you are plating — date, guest count, service style, dietary needs — and the lead is filed with a costed menu waiting when you look up.
Your other problem is the eleven months in between
A wedding booked in October for next September has to survive a guest count that moves twice, a menu tasting, a deposit, two dietary changes and a venue swap. In most catering businesses that history lives in an inbox.
Here it lives on the event: every change, every version of the menu, the deposit and the balance, and the client portal the couple sees.
What a wedding actually needs from the software
- A quote that holds the food without taking it. Reserve stock against the date so the next booking does not double-book it.
- Dietary variants built out, and flags checked against the dish's own ingredients rather than trusted.
- Crew on the date, with who is already working that weekend visible before you commit.
- A deposit and a balance, not one invoice at the end.
Questions people ask
Can it handle a wedding booked a year out?
Yes. Events are not horizon-limited — a date twelve months away carries its menu, its deposit and its history the same as next week's.
What happens when the guest count changes?
The menu rescales and the cost per head updates with it, so the quote reflects the new count rather than the one you first wrote.
Ten minutes gets a real event in — your menu, your prices, a quote you could send. The 14-day trial takes no credit card.
