CaterCaddy handles the paperwork so you can focus on the food. Here's exactly what your workflow looks like from day one.
Sign up, add your restaurant name and logo, and connect Stripe so payouts go directly to your bank account. CaterCaddy puts your branding on every quote, email, and document your clients see — you look professional from the very first interaction.
Set up your catering packages — each with a name, per-person price, and guest minimum. Once they're in, building any quote takes seconds: just select a package and CaterCaddy does the math. Add custom line items like travel or equipment rental on a per-quote basis.
Every CaterCaddy account gets a unique public inquiry page. Put it on your website, in your email signature, or share it directly with prospects. When a potential client fills out the form, their request lands in your dashboard instantly — no back-and-forth needed to capture the basics.
New inquiries appear in your dashboard with everything you need: event date, headcount, venue, and any notes the client left. Quote the ones that fit, decline the rest — CaterCaddy sends a professional decline email on your behalf so you never leave a prospect without a response.
Select the right package, set your deposit percentage, add any extra fees, and choose an expiry date. CaterCaddy generates a branded PDF quote and emails it to the client. If anything changes, you can edit and resend without starting over.
Your client clicks the payment link in their quote email, pays via Stripe, and the booking is confirmed instantly — no phone call, no invoice chasing, no manual status update. You see the booking appear in your dashboard and receive a notification.
Share a secure kitchen link with your team — no login, no app, just a mobile-friendly page with every event detail they need. Generate a printable BEO (Banquet Event Order) PDF for on-site reference. Every detail is where it should be before the first van leaves the lot.
After the event, hit one button to request the remaining balance. CaterCaddy emails the client a payment link and, once paid, the funds are on their way to your bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule. The whole job is closed — in the system and in your pocket.
