CATERING SOFTWARE

From the first enquiry to the final handoff.

An event has more moving parts than a single meal. Give customers a clear way to choose catering, and give your team one place to follow the details.

  • Catering packages on your own website
  • Enquiries and quote workflows
  • Kitchen and delivery coordination

HOW IT WORKS

From the request
to the work behind it.

01

Make the offer easy to understand

Publish catering packages through your PlateOS storefront. Explain the menu, available options and ordering requirements using your own branding. Keep meal plans, individual items and catering clearly separated so a customer planning an event can find the right flow.

  • Manage package contents and availability
  • Configure supported quantities and fulfilment options
  • Use Design Studio to explain your catering service
02

Keep the conversation attached to the work

Some customers are ready to order; others need a quote. Your team can manage catering enquiries and supported quote workflows, then share the relevant review or payment link. The shared inbox gives staff a place to ask for missing event details and follow up without starting the conversation again.

  • Capture event requirements before promising fulfilment
  • Review quotes and customer details
  • Use merchant-connected payment workflows
03

Plan the handoff, not just the sale

Use the kitchen and order views to coordinate catering work with the rest of the day. Confirm what is being prepared, who is responsible and how the order will be collected or delivered. A mixed business can run catering alongside its meal-prep or restaurant operation.

  • Review catering work in the kitchen workspace
  • Keep order notes visible to the team
  • Coordinate delivery and collection arrangements

BEFORE YOU START

A few useful
answers.

Can I sell catering alongside meal plans?

Yes. Catering, meal plans and individual items can be offered through a branded PlateOS storefront, subject to the modules and settings you enable.

Can I take a payment for a quote?

Supported catering quote workflows include customer review and payment links. Configure your merchant payment account before collecting payments.

Can you show my exact event workflow?

Yes. Bring a typical event enquiry to a demo so we can walk through the available package, quote, kitchen and fulfilment steps.
