What it is
Caiter is catering software for preparing proposals and coordinating event orders, purchasing, kitchen production, clients, and menus. Its proposal builder can include dish photos, descriptions, and prices; clients can download quotes as Excel files and confirm orders through the proposal. The quote editor draws menu items from a catalog or previous events and calculates totals automatically. A built-in CRM tracks order status, client history, and menus, while the calendar displays events by date. Caiter combines purchasing needs across events and updates lists when orders or menu items change; lists can be exported to Excel. Kitchen lists show event details, group dishes by prep station, reflect order updates, and can be printed. Finance features calculate event profitability, track deposits and balances, and analyze products and services by revenue and profit. Caiter runs on Android, iOS, and the web. The Start plan costs $79 a month, billed monthly, and includes up to 50 proposals and three users. A 14-day trial offers full access for up to 10 proposals for real clients and requires no credit card. Caiter also says it imports a menu within one business day and provides email support, with priority support on Business.
