Catertoo vs SendOrder

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.

SendOrder brings food costing, catering orders, invoicing, and kitchen preparation workflows together for food businesses.

SendOrder is web-based and is presented for caterers, restaurants, cafés, bakeries, food trucks, pop-ups, and corporate or event caterers. Stripe and Square integrations are listed; Square is available on paid plans. Diamond + Ai includes a custom online ordering website, QR code ordering, team scheduling, CRM, and an AI agent.
