Events lifecycle

From inquiry to invoice to load-out. Every event lives in one place — proposal, BEO, financials, seating, schedule, debrief.

What's inside
  • Status state machine: lead → proposal → confirmed → completed
  • Proposal + invoice + BEO PDFs auto-generated
  • Line items with tax / service / gratuity
  • Express order: 30 seconds from phone call to booked
  • Bulk operations for power-editing many events at once
01

One drawer, every angle of the event

Open an event and tab through Info, Items, Financials, Schedule, Seating, Tasks, Documents, Pack list, Debrief. Each tab reads the same source-of-truth event row, so changes propagate immediately — change the guest count and the pack list re-builds, the invoice updates, the seating chart flags missing seats.

02

Express Order for the small jobs

Drop-offs and one-off catering don't need the full event drawer. Express Order is a 30-second flow: name, date, contact, items, done. The full record exists; it just defaulted everything sensibly.

  • 30-second flow for drop-offs
  • Same underlying event record, just a faster create
  • Promotes to a full event drawer in one click
03

Bulk operations for power editors

Spreadsheet UX for editing many events at once. Bulk-receive payments distributes one $50,000 corporate check across four events in a single screen. Bulk archive, bulk cancel, bulk discontinue — every destructive bulk action requires owner approval before it runs.

Maître woven through

Drop a contract; Maître builds the event

The biggest time sink in catering software is the manual event setup — typing line items off a contract, attaching the right contact, splitting tax + service + gratuity. Drop the PDF (or photo of a napkin) into Maître chat and it does the typing for you.

“[Drop a signed contract PDF]”

MaîtreMaître extracts contact, event details, line items with quantities + prices, dietary notes, and proposed timeline. You review the structured form, click Save, the event is created.

“Draft a proposal for the Anderson wedding”

MaîtreMaître reads the event details, your default catalog pricing, your standard tax/service/gratuity rates — and writes a proposal you review + send.

“Cancel the Bautista event with reason 'venue conflict'”

MaîtreMaître updates the event status, applies the cancellation policy, generates the credit memo if applicable, and logs the cancellation in audit.

$50 of Maître work included monthly (~7M tokens). Heavy users opt in to overage at cost. Read more on the Maître AI page.

Need something this page doesn’t mention?

We build custom features for individual customers starting at $10/month. If your idea is broadly useful to other catering operators, we may waive the monthly fee entirely and add it to the standard catalog. The first conversation is free and we’ll tell you which path applies.
