CartFlow vs Catertoo

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.

Catertoo is catering management software that brings client records, events, menus, proposals, and payments together. Users can create itemized proposals from menus, add fees, discounts, and tax, then send quotes for online acceptance. Accepted proposals can become invoices, with Stripe handling online card payments and tracking deposits and balances. Event booking follows work from inquiry through confirmed and completed status, recording dates, guest counts, client and venue links, and activity timelines. The CRM stores organization and individual records, multiple contacts, addresses, notes, tags, and client histories. Catertoo also lists staffing, reporting, menu building, e-signatures, and event logistics. It works on desktop, tablet, and phone without requiring an app download, and provides an API. Catertoo describes itself as being in public beta and says its core product has shipped. The free plan allows up to three events a month; Pro costs $39 per month, or $29/mo billed annually. Premium costs $89 per month, or $69/mo billed annually.
