Catering

The all-in-one platform to manage event bookings, menu records, guest numbers, and deposit tracking. Spend less time on admin and more time doing what you love.

Get started free

Catering is priced per head for a number that changes twice before the event and a menu agreed months earlier with dietary requirements attached. Get the final numbers wrong and you either waste food or run out in front of a hundred people. Clienteka keeps the menu, the numbers and the deposit on one booking.

Common questions

Can I keep the agreed menu and dietary requirements?

Yes. Notes live on the client and the booking, so the menu agreed in March and the three vegan guests confirmed in June are both readable when you order the food that week.

Can I track guest numbers as they change?

Yes. Update the notes on the booking as numbers move, so the figure you cook for is the one most recently confirmed rather than the one from the original enquiry six months ago.

Can I take a deposit against an event?

Yes. Issue the invoice and record a partial payment, so the deposit is tracked against the total and the outstanding balance stays visible until the event has been delivered and settled.

Can I book events a year ahead?

Yes. The calendar accepts any future date, so a wedding booked eighteen months out occupies the diary from the moment it is confirmed and prevents a second booking on the same day.

Does it handle both one-off events and regular corporate work?

Yes. Both are bookings on their own client with their own services and prices, so a weekly office lunch contract and a single wedding are managed in the same calendar.
