Send Professional Event Quotes in Minutes, Not Hours.
South African catering companies lose bookings every week to competitors who respond faster. Our AI quoting system takes an enquiry, generates a fully itemised proposal, and sends it automatically - while you're still running your current event.

Every Hour You Take to Send a Quote Is an Hour Your Competitor Can Steal the Booking
Corporate clients planning year-end functions, couples booking wedding caterers, and event coordinators sourcing quotes for conferences - they all send multiple enquiries simultaneously. The company that responds with a professional, detailed proposal first wins the business. Most catering companies take 24-72 hours. The AI takes 3 minutes.
- Corporate and wedding clients typically request 3-5 quotes simultaneously - first to respond wins 60% of the time
- Manually building each quote from scratch takes 1-3 hours per enquiry, pulling you away from operations
- Pricing errors and inconsistencies in manual quotes erode margins or cause client disputes
- Year-end function season (Oct-Dec) floods you with enquiries exactly when you're too busy to respond
- No centralised system means enquiries fall through the cracks during busy periods
Slow Quotes Are Silent Revenue Killers
A catering company turning over R2M annually that wins just 3 additional events per month at an average of R25,000 per event adds R900,000 in annual revenue. The only thing standing between you and those bookings is response speed and proposal quality.
Instant, Accurate, Professional Event Quotes - Generated by AI
We build a custom AI quoting engine trained on your menus, pricing, service packages, and margin requirements. When an enquiry arrives via WhatsApp, your website, or email, the AI generates a fully branded, itemised proposal within minutes and sends it automatically.
AI-Powered Proposal Generation
The system reads enquiry details - guest count, event type, dietary requirements, venue, date - and generates a complete, itemised quote using your actual menus and pricing structures. No manual input required.
Multi-Channel Enquiry Capture
Enquiries from your website, WhatsApp, email, and social media are all funnelled into one system. No more lost enquiries in WhatsApp group chats or Gmail inboxes during peak season.
Quote Tracking & Follow-Up Automation
Know exactly which quotes have been opened, which are pending decisions, and which need a follow-up nudge. Automated follow-up messages go out at 48 hours and 5 days if no response - without you lifting a finger.

Automate Event Quotes for Catering Companies
South African Market Perspective
South African catering companies generate 30-50 quotes per month, with only 15-25% converting to confirmed bookings. Each quote requires menu costing, venue logistics assessment, and staffing calculations. AI-powered quoting systems can generate accurate proposals in under 10 minutes by pulling from ingredient cost databases, applying standard markup formulas, and factoring in travel distances to venues: improving quote turnaround from 2-3 days to same-day while increasing conversion through faster response.
