Caterease vs Mobistro

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.

Mobistro is operations software for food trucks, market stalls, mobile bars, and event catering. It organizes events in calendar, list, and map views, with statuses, vehicle assignments, crew, times, and head counts. Recipes and planned servings help calculate preparation quantities, which operators can transfer to a vehicle packing list. Inventory tracks consumables and equipment, minimum stock levels, and vehicle or storage locations; mapped CSV imports are also supported.

Operators can plan event revenue and costs, then compare those plans with actual results after wrap-up. Vehicle records include inspection and service dates, damage reports with photos and status, and cleaning dates and types. Mobistro complements an existing POS rather than handling checkout, and it is not accounting software or a replacement for POS reporting. The maker says it is GDPR-compliant and hosted in Frankfurt, in the EU region eu-central-1. Selected operators in the US, UK, Switzerland, and Europe can request free beta access. Beta costs nothing; the smallest plan after beta starts at $22.99 a month.
