What's inside
  • Auto-generated from event items
  • Varies by service style (drop-off vs plated vs buffet)
  • Manual overrides preserved across rebuilds
  • Avery 8163 labels (4×2 in) print straight from the event
01

Built from the menu, not built by hand

Every menu item carries the equipment it needs to serve. Pick the service style on the event and the pack list re-renders for it: a buffet of 100 needs different chafing dishes and serving spoons than the same 100 plated.

02

Print labels same-screen

Container labels (KEEP HOT 'Beef Tenderloin 35 portions'), table tents, allergen warnings — all rendered as Avery 8163 sheets. Print to any inkjet, peel and stick. No more hand-writing 'KEEP HOT' on masking tape.

  • Avery 8163 (4×2) — universal label stock
  • Heating + serving labels per item
  • Menu item table tents for buffets
Maître woven through

Sanity-check the pack list before the truck leaves

The pack list is mostly auto-built, but Maître reviews it for the human-judgment things — does the equipment match the venue? Did anyone forget the allergen card? Is the cooler count enough for a hot summer drive?

“Sanity-check tomorrow's pack list for the Anderson wedding”

MaîtreMaître scans the menu vs. equipment, flags missing items (no chafing dishes for the hot mains?), checks allergen guests vs. labels, suggests fixes.

“Print all labels for today's events”

MaîtreMaître queues the Avery 8163 PDF combining every active event's labels — you print once.

$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.

How it works

Pairs well with

Catalog + recipes

Every dish, every bottle, every chafing dish — one catalog. Tag dietary, set cost, ship across every event. Recipes nest so plate cost auto-recomputes.
