Catertoo vs Mobistro

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.

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.
