In their own words
Better Cater
Better Cater is catering software that manages an event from inquiry through proposals, menus, BEOs, kitchen reports, invoices, and profit analysis using one event record. Users can create branded proposals from menus, send contracts, and collect electronic signatures. Reusable menus and packages support per-person or fixed pricing, with staff, rentals, taxes, and service charges in the catalog. The calendar tracks inquiry, tentative, confirmed, and other statuses, and repeat events can be duplicated. Events can be subscribed to in Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or other apps that read ICS feeds, but the feed syncs one way from Better Cater. The company describes access on phones and tablets and supports current and previous major versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Premium includes API access for custom integrations. Plus costs $83 a year with annual billing or $99 a month; Premium costs $125 a year or $149 a month. The service has no free plan but offers a 30-day trial. Online client payments for deposits and balances are marked as coming soon.
