Caterer Guide

How to Automate Lead & Client Tracking as a Caterer

You just wrapped a tasting with the Delgado family for their 200-person quinceañera. They loved the menu, but now their dietary notes are stuck in three different text threads and a voicemail. Miss the father's 'no shellfish' rule, and you could ruin the whole event.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Copying details from texts into a notebook, then typing orders into spreadsheets before supplier deadlines hit.

6 hours per week
  1. Scroll through iMessage history to find the mother's note about 14 gluten-free guests.
  2. Play voicemails on speaker while scribbling down the daughter's vegan request.
  3. Type these notes into a master sheet to send to Restaurant Depot.
  4. Check entries against original messages so you don't buy the wrong ingredients.
