What catering operators tell us
Proposals take forever.
Every inquiry is a fresh quote built in Word. By the time you send it, the client has booked a competitor.
You don't know your food cost per event.
You quote a menu, you cook the menu, you hope it pencils. Real food cost is a post-event surprise.
Dietary restrictions get missed.
One guest's allergy lives in an email thread from three weeks ago. Game-day comms aren't built for that.
What you get
The iqcloud bundle, set up for catering
Same four modules — identity, billing, scheduling, automation — pre-configured for the way you actually work.
Templated event proposals
Click a menu, set a headcount, send a branded proposal in under five minutes with deposit collection built in.
Menu cost engine
Ingredient prices, portion sizes, and yields roll up into a real food-cost line per event. Margin shows live as you edit the menu.
Dietary + allergy register
Per-guest dietary notes pinned to the event sheet. Kitchen and front-of-house see the same list.
Staff scheduling + payroll prep
Schedule chefs and servers per event, track in/out, export to payroll. Tip pool calculated automatically.
Smart assist
Built for catering, not boilerplate
We don't ship the same generic assistant to every business. The smart tooling you get with iqcloud is tuned for catering operations specifically.
- Menu cost-optimization
