The Catering Systems Story

At any given event, there are hundreds of unique details to remember and a whole roster of partners to juggle. Every team member needs to have the right information at the right time to make sure things run smoothly from start to finish.

Back when our founding members were running a rapidly growing catering business, the team used spreadsheets and calendars to manage all of this manually. As the business continued to grow, the spreadsheets became too much to handle. The number of things that could go wrong was growing along with the number of events we were catering. We needed to optimise our operations and use our team more effectively.

What do you do when you can’t find the kind of software your business needs to thrive?

You build it yourself, of course. We knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it.

So, we built our own software for managing the entire admin side of event planning — from creating the event in the calendar to sending out invoices and marking them paid.

Productivity started going up like crazy and we realised we had something great on our hands. That’s what Catering Systems is bringing to the catering world — event management software that takes the hassle of admin off your plate. (Pun intended.)

We know it’s good because we built it for ourselves. And our standards are pretty damn high.
