Catering

For off-site caterers who need half a dozen follow-up questions on every inquiry before a quote can even begin.

The trigger

Why it usually gets rebuilt

Every inquiry starts from zero. How many guests, what occasion, is there power and water on site, do you need staff, is crockery provided — six or seven emails before costing can start at all. By then a competitor has already sent a quote.

Features

What actually makes the difference

Not every website needs everything. These are the points that genuinely count in this trade.

An inquiry form that prepares the costing

Date, guest count, location, occasion, kitchen situation on site, service staff yes or no. What arrives is already enough for a defensible first figure rather than a first follow-up question.

Menu builder with labeling

Courses and buffet modules can be assembled, and every item names the major allergens it contains. At events with large guest numbers that is not diligence, it is a requirement.

Availability out in the open

Summer Saturdays go early. The site shows which dates are still free, so nobody inquires about a weekend that was booked out months ago.

References sorted by occasion

Someone planning a wedding does not want to see a staff conference. References can be filtered by occasion and by scale.

The quote grows out of the inquiry

The details submitted flow straight into the quote template instead of being typed a second time. The path from inquiry to quote comes down to a few minutes of actual work.

Automation

What can run by itself

  1. Acknowledgement with a timeframe

    The inquirer learns immediately when to expect the quote. That takes the pressure out of chasing, on both sides.

  2. Confirmed dates block themselves

    Once the client says yes, the date is held in the calendar and drops out of the availability view. Double bookings on Saturdays stop happening.

  3. Final headcount reminder

    Ten days out, the request for the binding guest number goes out on its own. Purchasing no longer has to buy on a hunch.

  4. Follow-up after the event

    A week later, a short note: how was it, may we list it as a reference. Corporate clients often book the next date right there.

Budget

$4,950 – $9,900

An inquiry form with menus sits at the lower edge; the price climbs once the inquiry has to flow automatically into quote, calendar and staff planning.
