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.
