Free Android app for small catering teams
Plan private parties, weddings and corporate events: the menu and what it costs, the shopping list, the van, the timeline, the checklist and the budget. On your phone, without an account.
Catering Event Operations 1.0.0 for Android
The run of an event
Confirm numbers, order ingredients, prepare cold dishes and bake.
Load the van, arrive at the venue, set up the buffet line and plate.
Serve, keep the buffet topped up, clear and bring out desserts.
Pack down, clean, hand the venue back and wash the equipment.
New events start with this plan of fifteen tasks, timed around your start time – change, delete or add tasks as you like.
No. 01Menu and costs
Arrange dishes by course – canapés and starters, mains, sides, desserts and soft drinks. Each dish has its ingredients for one portion and a planned quantity per guest or as a fixed number. The app works out the portions, the cost per portion and the cost of the whole menu.
No. 02Shopping list
All ingredients of the menu become one list. The same ingredient from several dishes is one line, grams and kilograms are combined, and a buffer for waste and seconds goes on top. Tick lines off at the wholesaler.
No. 03Timeline
Start from the standard plan or write your own tasks with a day, a time, a length and an owner. Checkpoints such as arrival, service start and venue hand-back stand out, and a task that starts before the one it depends on has finished gets a warning.
No. 04Logistics
Enter the arrival time, driving time and loading time and the app tells you when to load and when to leave. Keep the equipment, packaging and transport lists with quantities and tick them as they go in the van.
No. 05Budget
Set a forecast for ingredients, staff, equipment hire, packaging, transport and venue costs. The ingredient forecast can follow the menu calculator. Add costs as receipts come in and see the difference for every category.
Equipment, consumables and clean-up after the event, ready to tick on the day.
Photos of the buffet and table settings, and notes on what to change next time.
Copy an event to a new date with its menu, tasks and lists – ticks cleared.
The full plan as PDF, work lists as CSV – made on the phone, shared where you choose.
