AI Quoting for Grocery & Drug Stores. Catering quotes for grocery stores, priced from your list.

AI Quoting writes catering quotes for grocery stores from your own price list: a call, a chat, a mail or a form asking for platters, trays or a holiday dinner becomes one record from the quote to the pickup. No platter quote reaches a customer before your yes, unless you set a ceiling under which the deli's quotes go out alone.

Ways to pay

Easy setupSet up everything just by talking to Lisa AISee how ›

You“Catering quotes need a deposit, with the balance at pickup.”

Lisa“Catering quotes now ask for a deposit, with the balance paid at pickup, as the quote page shows. Apply?”

You talk. Lisa sets it up. Applied only on your yes.

How Grocery & Drug Stores use it

1

A caller asks for three sandwich platters for Friday; the AI prices them from your list and the quote waits for your yes.

2

An office mails a standing breakfast order; office catering quotes open on Inbound, and the catering lead sends each with one approval.

3

A customer pays a deposit on a holiday dinner by card on the quote page, and the balance is due at pickup.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

What’s included

  • Quotes from your own inventory, from the products of your Shopify stores, or typed by hand; prices read from the record, not calculated by the AI
  • Requests to buy from the phone, the chat, e-mail, web forms, the demo or a purchase order, filed for your yes
  • Your yes in one click, or automatic under a cap you set; price revisions always wait; every version kept
  • Your own document on your letterhead, your terms, shipping and tax lines, a page the customer accepts on; or the store’s payable draft order
  • Opened, accepted, paid, shipped and delivered on one record; the invoice numbered the moment it is paid; payments recorded by hand
  • Follow-up from the send until the customer pays or declines; a reply pauses it and goes to your sales desk

From the ask to the pickup

Catering quotes for grocery stores, from the call to the pickup

Priced from your list

Every platter and tray price is read from your inventory or your online store by code, never made up by the AI.

Your yes first

Preview & authorize shows every line, the quantity and the total before a catering quote reaches the customer.

Accepted online

The customer opens their own page with the lines and the total, types their name and accepts, then pays the way you offer.

Followed up for you

Day 1 asks if the quote arrived, day 7 says it expires soon, and the follow-up stops when the customer pays or declines.

Paid your way

Deli platter quotes paid by card, deposit or at pickup

Card on the quote page

Payment runs through your own card account, so the money for the platters goes straight to the store.

A deposit, then the rest

A deposit with its rule on any way to pay, and the balance due at pickup or the days after acceptance you set.

An office on terms

An approved office account's order opens at acceptance, and the invoice carries its due date.

Questions & answers

AI Quoting for Grocery & Drug Stores: questions & answers

Can the AI quote a catering order on the phone?

Yes. The AI asks what is needed and drafts the quote from your own price list while the caller is there. The quote waits under Awaiting your yes, so a request taken in the evening is ready for the catering lead in the morning.

Does the AI set or change catering prices?

No. Every price on party tray order quotes is read from your list by code. A customer who asks for a better price gets a revision that waits for your yes, and a line priced by a person waits for that person before the quote moves on.

How does the customer pay for a catering order?

The ways you offer: card on the quote page through your own card account, a call to pay by card, a cheque, pay at pickup, or a deposit with the balance later. The invoice goes out the moment the payments reach the total.

How long is a catering quote valid?

Fourteen days as shipped, or the length the deli sets, counted again from each yes. On day 7 the customer hears that the platter quote expires soon, and an expired one can be quoted again at today's prices.
