Sales
All your requests clearly organised in one system
Catermonkey is a CRM built specifically for the catering industry. Generic sales software treats every deal the same, but catering runs on details those tools never capture: delivery windows, dietary needs, the regulars who book every season, and the difference between a loose request and a confirmed job. Catermonkey keeps all of that next to every customer, so your sales pipeline, your quotes and your kitchen work from one shared record. It is the place your team goes to manage a customer from the first inquiry to the next repeat booking.
Inquiries often come in scattered via forms, email or separate inboxes. Especially during busy periods, there is a high risk that an inquiry will be overlooked or followed up too late. And every missed inquiry means lost revenue. With Catermonkey's website link, all inquiries are automatically received in one central system. From the first contact, you have all the customer information at your fingertips, whether it's for lunch, drinks or a complete event. You can respond faster, prepare quotes and follow up without manual work.
1. Smart contact form
Once you submit your request, you will automatically receive all the details in your Catermonkey account: customer information, start and end times, number of people, beverage options, and more. This is how you can create the perfect quote in no time!
2. Online quotation tool
Let customers put together their own party via your website. They choose canapés, buffets, desserts and optionally a drinks package. They get a price indication immediately, after which you only need to add staff and transport costs and send the quote. These widgets, as we call them, are highly flexible.
3. Ordering and paying online
Do you have a party menu, are you organizing a dinner & dance or a workshop? With Catermonkey, your customers can order and pay directly online, if the situation lends itself.
4. More sales, less work
Modern dynamic online presence results in: more requests, less follow-up hassle, and faster quotes. Modern customers want clarity without endless emails. With Catermonkey, you can quickly send a gorgeous quote. You wow your customers and build trust at the same time!

Your profits could be better at the end of the year.

You have no insight into your food margin

Do you regularly fish alongside a quote?
Then another caterer probably beat you to it with their quote and gained the customer's trust. Digitize your quotes and respond much more quickly.
You only find out late in the day that the customer has a much lower budget in mind.
With a quotation indicator tool, customers can click on their requirements on your website and immediately receive a price estimate.
So before you waste any energy on it.
Too preoccupied with administrative tasks
Digitizing your processes will make tasks transferable, eliminate unnecessary cutting and pasting, and create clarity.
For everyone.
You don't really dare to go on vacation
Catering software makes tasks transferable for your employees. So when you're on vacation, your employees know exactly what to do. And you can log in on any computer with internet access, if necessary.
You print a lot and have many computers in your business.
Working without a good digital workflow requires a lot of paper, a sea of laptops, and staff to operate them.
You will save significantly on all of the above, while everyone has a better overview.
Customers sometimes have to wait a long time for their quote.
In that case, you will often miss out on an assignment.
What a waste!
Especially now that you know there is an affordable and well-designed alternative, developed for and by industry peers.
Only you know everything, it's all in your head
That makes me feel uneasy.
When you digitize, it's done.
You create enormous leverage, which also makes your company much more valuable to a potential buyer.
