Know the headcount before you call back.
Clients send the date, the headcount and every allergy in one form, and you get a clear summary. Fixed-price packages take a deposit into your own Stripe, and a full date stops taking bookings.
It starts from“A catering site where clients send an event request with the date, headcount, dietary needs and an optional venue or menu file, I get an email with a short summary of each request, clients can book a fixed-price package by paying its deposit, each date stops taking bookings when I’m full, and my Admin shows requests as new, quoted, booked and done.”

What comes working in a catering order app?
Every detail, in one form.
From the first inquiry to the paid deposit, what a caterer needs is in the first build, under your company’s name.
- ✓ Comes working01
A request form that asks the right things
Event date, headcount, serving time, dietary needs and allergies, all in one form. Clients can attach a venue sheet or a sample menu, and only you can open it.
- ✓ Comes working02
A short summary of every request
Each request lands in your inbox with the date, the headcount and the dietary needs pulled to the top, so you can quote without rereading a long message.
- ✓ Comes working03
A pipeline in your Admin
Requests sit on a board as new, quoted, booked and done. Move each one along as the event takes shape, so nothing slips between the inquiry and the day.

Packages with a fixed deposit
Office lunch for 20, a buffet for 60, a cocktail hour for 40: each package carries the deposit you set, paid by card into your own Stripe.
- ✓ Comes working05
A full date stops taking bookings
Decide how many events you can cater in one day. When a date fills, it shows booked, even if two clients reach for it in the same minute.
- ✓ Comes working06
A confirmation for every client
Clients get an email back saying you have their request, and a reply to it reaches you directly.
What clients send, and what you see.
Clients fill in the event and pick a package. You get a summary in your inbox and every request on one board, from new to done.
How does a catering business win more events online?
Answer first, book first.
Catering work often goes to whoever replies first with a clear answer. When the date, the headcount and the allergies arrive in one form and sit summed up in your inbox, you can quote the same morning instead of trading five emails to learn how many people are coming.
A deposit turns a maybe into a booking. A client who pays for a package has a date on your calendar, and the money for the shopping is already in your account.
- Quote fasterThe details you need come in the first message.
- No double-booked daysA full date stops taking bookings by itself.
- Deposits up frontA paid package holds the date, not a promise.
Which catering packages work best at a fixed price?
Price the events you cater most.
Office lunches, drop-off buffets and set party menus are the easy start: a known headcount and a known price. Keep weddings and one-off events as requests you quote from your own inbox, and let the regular orders book themselves.
It doesn’t charge a custom price worked out per event: deposits are fixed per package, and it doesn’t run delivery drivers.
