The inquiry
She’s talking to three caterers. The first clean proposal usually wins.
An October wedding inquiry lands on a Tuesday. While the quote lives in a Word doc named FINAL_final(2), someone else is booking her.
With your menu already in Better Cater, a polished, branded proposal goes out the same day — deposit terms included.
rental order — 150 chairs or 165? chargers?!
staffing sheet says 8 servers, quote says 10…
aunt = gluten free?? update the quote…
did they ever sign? deposit??
Enter it once
Menu, staffing, and pricing in one place.
Pick items from your menu and everything prices as you type — 150 guests, plated service, staffing included. The proposal is ready before the tasting ends. (Set your menu up once — every couple after that gets a polished proposal in minutes, not evenings.)
Event day, handled
BEO, kitchen counts, rentals, and staffing — all from the same entry.
No retyping into a separate BEO template. The banquet event order, kitchen production counts, rental and service items, staffing, and the balance due all come from the event you already entered — the pieces that make wedding orders messy live on the same sheet.
Final counts
Two weeks out, the counts change. Everything updates with them.
“Final counts! 165 total.” You’ve absorbed a hundred last-minute changes without the couple ever seeing you sweat — this makes it one edit instead of five documents. Update the guest count once, and covers, kitchen counts, rentals, staffing, and the balance due follow.
Profit
Know the wedding made money before you book the next one like it.
Complex weddings are where underpricing hides — a plated menu, two stations, rentals, and ten staff can look profitable right up until it isn’t. Better Cater puts food cost and revenue side by side, per event.
Quote the next wedding from your margin, not from what the last caterer charged.
Service, plated and covered — every event runs off one sheet.
