AI Automation for Catering Companies
We deliver AI automation for catering companies across the UK, turning event enquiries into same-day quotes, chasing proposals and confirming the details that make each function run smoothly.

- Coordinating staff, kit and deliveries across multiple events is fiddly
What good automation delivers
- Quotes out the same day, every time

Suggested first automation
Start with enquiry capture and quote follow-ups. Catering is won or lost on speed, and faster proposals turn more enquiries into booked events.
Data and compliance
Dietary and allergen details are pulled from the client's own written confirmation and checked by a person before service, so nothing critical is left to guesswork.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can AI really write our catering quotes?
It drafts a quote from the menu, headcount and event type you set up, then your team reviews and sends it. You get speed and consistency while keeping full control over pricing.
How does it help with last-minute changes?
The automation confirms final numbers, timings and dietary needs before each event and updates your run sheet, so late changes are captured rather than missed.
We run several events at once. Will this cope?
Yes. Each booking gets its own chase sequence, confirmation and run sheet, so nothing slips even during a packed season.
