Catering operations

Run every catering event from inquiry through service.

Keep clients, venues, proposals, staffing, payment schedules, event details, and day-of execution connected in one operational workspace.

One catering record

Stop rebuilding the event at every handoff.

A catering job changes as it moves from inquiry to proposal, booking, production, staffing, payment, and service. Dispatch keeps those stages connected instead of scattering updates across documents and spreadsheets.

Your team works from the same client, venue, scope, schedule, and financial picture from the first conversation through event day.

Built for catering teams

Sell profitably. Prepare clearly. Deliver with confidence.

Build profitable proposals.

Create reusable services and cost models, account for guest count and staffing, and see cost and margin before a proposal reaches the client.

  • Service and cost libraries
  • Guest- and time-based pricing inputs
  • Client-ready proposal links

Carry approved scope forward.

Turn accepted proposals into working bookings, invoices, payment schedules, and calendar records without entering the same details again.

  • Online client acceptance
  • Booking and invoice creation
  • Deposit and balance progress

Prepare the team.

Give coordinators and staff one place to find call times, venue information, contacts, notes, assigned roles, and event requirements.

  • Event staffing and labor rates
  • Venue and contact history
  • Mobile event details

Know what the event earned.

Compare quoted revenue, direct costs, staffing expenses, payment progress, and gross profit without rebuilding reports.

  • Revenue and margin reporting
  • Outstanding balance visibility
  • Service demand and conversion

From sales to service

Execute with the plan already in hand.

Dispatch goes beyond a catering CRM. Open the event from a phone or tablet, keep the live operational record connected to the booking, and preserve what happened after service ends.
