Caterforia
The Operations Platform for Catering & Events
Caterforia is the AI-native operations platform for catering companies and event operators. From inquiry to service to invoice, every moving part of an event -- menus, staff, vendors, kitchens, logistics -- is orchestrated in a single system that actually understands hospitality.
Key Capabilities
Everything You Need to Run Caterforia
Purpose-built features designed specifically for your trade.
Event Lifecycle Management
Track every event from inquiry through execution and post-event follow-up. Automated task lists, timelines, and milestone tracking built around how caterers actually plan.
Menu & Recipe Engineering
Version-controlled menus, recipe costing, allergen and dietary tagging, and AI-suggested pairings tuned to guest counts, seasons, and venue constraints.
Staff Scheduling & Dispatch
Match chefs, servers, bartenders, and coordinators to events based on skills, certifications, tenure, and availability. Real-time shift communication and check-in.
Equipment & Inventory
Track chafers, linens, glassware, and rentals across every event. Automated pull lists, return QA, and loss/damage tracking keep your inventory honest.
Client & Vendor CRM
Unified client history with preferences, dietary notes, and relationship context. Vendor performance tracking for florists, rentals, venues, and DJs.
Proposals, Deposits & Invoicing
Generate beautiful proposals with line-item menus and visuals. Track deposits, progress payments, gratuities, and final invoicing with zero spreadsheets.
Logistics & Delivery
Route optimization for multi-event days, load lists, vehicle assignments, and real-time location tracking for every dispatch.
Event P&L Intelligence
Real-time per-event profitability by menu item, vendor, and staff class. AI highlights margin erosion before it turns into a losing event.
