CartFlow vs Caterease

CartFlow is back-office software for food trucks, market stalls, coffee carts, caterers and other mobile food businesses. It organizes event applications and bookings alongside staff, packing lists, logistics and event records. CartFlow is not a point-of-sale system; it connects to the POS an operator already uses. Reporting covers profitability by event, product and venue, including year-over-year comparisons. Inventory tools provide live counts, low-stock alerts and per-event stock usage. Sales, stock adjustments and event notes can be recorded offline and sync when a device reconnects. The browser-based service runs on phones, tablets and laptops, and can be installed on a phone home screen without an app store. Listed integrations include Square, SumUp, Zettle, Shopify POS, Lightspeed Retail, Clover, Toast, Loyverse, Xero, Zapier, HNRY via Zapier and Stripe. Free, Pro and Business plans are listed. Pro costs NZ$39 per month and Business costs NZ$79 per month; the pricing note says paid plans start at $29/mo.

Caterease is software for managing catering and event-planning operations, with customizable booking wizards, menu building, event prints, staff scheduling, recipes and packing lists. Customer records hold details and history; reminders, notes and to-do checklists support follow-up. Horizon Hub provides an AI assistant, dashboards, calendars, reports and access to live Caterease data from any device. Payment processing supports tokenized cards, customer payment links and batch processing. Event Portals let teams review event details remotely and share information with clients, while a free mobile app provides event review and a dashboard or calendar. Caterease offers optional add-ins and interfaces and describes integrations with tools customers already use. Documentation, onboarding, online user training, classes and videos are available. Express costs $99 a month billed annually, with no modules included and an additional-user charge of $28 a month. Standard costs $149 a month and Professional costs $199 a month, both billed annually and with no modules included. A 200.00 USD per-user launch fee applies to all plans.
