AI Quoting for Restaurants. Catering quote software for restaurants, priced from your list.

AI Quoting is catering quote software for restaurants: a request from a call, the chat, an e-mail or a form becomes one record, priced from your own catering list and held for your yes. The planner accepts online, pays the deposit the way you offer, and the follow-up runs until the quote is paid or declined.

How Restaurants use it

1

An office manager calls for thirty boxed lunches on Thursday; the AI prices them from your catering list and the quote waits for your yes.

2

A planner presses Ask for a change to raise the headcount, and the revision waits for your events manager before it goes.

3

A holiday-party quote runs past its validity, and Re-quote builds it again at today's prices for your yes.

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 request to deposit

What catering quote software for restaurants does with each request

One list of requests

Calls, chats, mails and forms asking for catering land on Inbound with what was said, so no office lunch request sits in someone's inbox.

Priced from your list

Boxed lunches, trays and per-guest packages are read from your catering list by code; the events manager previews every line and the total before Yes, send it.

Paid on the quote page

The planner accepts by name and pays the deposit online, and the moment the payments reach the total the invoice is numbered and sent.

Questions & answers

AI Quoting for Restaurants: questions & answers

Can an AI quote catering from our menu?

Yes. On the phone and in the website chat the AI asks what the event needs and drafts the quote from the articles of your catering list, each price read by code, never made up. The quote waits under Awaiting your yes unless you set a ceiling for automatic approval.

Does the AI change prices or offer discounts?

No. A planner who asks for a better price gets a revision that waits for your yes, and the AI never sends a price of its own. A line marked for a person, such as a custom menu, waits for the chef or the events manager to price it.

How do planners pay the deposit?

On the planner's own quote page, which makes each catering quote with online deposit payable by card through your own card account, or the ways you offer, such as a bank wire or pay at pickup. Set the deposit rule once, and the balance falls due the days after acceptance you choose.

Are unanswered catering quotes followed up?

Yes. The follow-up starts the day the quote is sent, signed by your salesperson: did you receive it on day 1, a reminder before it expires on day 7, and it stops by itself when the planner pays or declines.

What does the planner see?

With this private event quote software, the planner sees your letterhead and a link to their own page with the lines, the total, Accept and Ask for a change. They accept by typing their name, and the list shows you when the catering quote was opened and accepted.
