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, 10 a sheet) and folded table tents print straight from the Pack tab
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 from the Pack tab

One container label per dish, laid out on Avery 8163 stock: the dish, how much, KEEP HOT or KEEP COLD from what the catalogue says about it, and CONTAINS: SHELLFISH in red where the crew looks first. Print to any inkjet, peel and stick. No more hand-writing 'KEEP HOT' on masking tape.

  • Avery 8163 (4×2, 10 a sheet), universal label stock
  • Keep hot / cold / frozen from the item's tag or storage
  • Allergens on the lid, not in the binder
  • Folded table tents for the buffet: name, description, dietary tags, allergens, one card per dish
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, so you print once.

$50 of Maître work included monthly, metered at what the model costs us. Overage is off unless you turn it on. 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, all in one catalog. Tag dietary, set cost, ship across every event. Recipes nest so plate cost auto-recomputes.
