Prep Station
For independent restaurants
A branded storefront on your site, self-serve quotes, and tray prices from real recipe cost, so catering grows beside the dining room instead of living in a group chat.

01
A real revenue line
For restaurants that commit to it, catering can represent 5%–10% of sales, with orders often worth 10× a standard check.
02
Prices that hold margin
Tray prices come from recipe cost, so a 24-person lunch does not quietly give away the week.
03
One kitchen, one record
Quote, prep, pack, and deliver on the same order the dining room already depends on.

Your brand, self-serve quotes
Costed trays on one prep list
With 75% of catering orders placed online, the office down the street is already buying that way. Your lunch still arrives as a DM during service. The tray price is a guess between tickets. Saturday covers and a 24-person drop share one whiteboard.

Take restaurant catering seriously
Your brand. Self-serve quotes. A prep list the dining room can still survive.
Sell on your brand
Give the restaurant a catering storefront on your brand. Clients order, request a quote, or pay a deposit while you are on the line. One quote covers a multi-day event or two drops on Saturday, so a bigger booking does not mean a second spreadsheet.
Explore the online storefront and sales orders & quotes.

Earn the tray
The dining-room plate and the catering tray should share one formula. Live cost from vendor prices rolls through prep recipes, so the quote shows margin before the client says yes. Allergens roll up from the same ingredients.
Dig into yield-aware recipe costing.
Keep Saturday service
Confirmed catering orders pool into the prep sheet the line already works from. Packing labels print from the sales order, then Delivery Hub runs the stops you deliver yourself. The dining room stays the dining room.

When you add sites
Multi-unit restaurants
Yes. Publish a branded catering storefront on your restaurant's site, not a marketplace. Clients order, request a quote, or pay a deposit, and the order lands in the same kitchen that runs the dining room.
You can start from the menu you already cook. Turn on the storefront and self-serve quotes so the next office lunch does not wait for someone to answer the phone during service.
Yes. Send as quote or pay now on the storefront, and email a public accept-and-pay link so clients confirm and pay without another call. One quote can cover multi-day events and multiple drops.
Yes. Recipe costing rolls vendor prices through prep recipes to a cost per serving. Quotes show live plate cost and margin before you send the price.
Yes. Confirmed orders feed one prep sheet, packing labels print from the sales order, and Delivery Hub runs the stops you deliver yourself. The dining room and the drop share the same record.
No. This page is for one restaurant. When you open more sites, multi-unit restaurants covers a shared recipe library, per-location ordering, and commissary transfers.
No. The live demo does not require a credit card. Explore the branded storefront, a costed quote, and the prep sheet, then cancel anytime.
