From one recipe to 120 guests.

When an event grows from 80 to 120 guests, your recipe stays the same. The quantities and food cost need to reflect the extra portions.

Build a reliable recipe base

Record the ingredients and quantities once. Each event can then use the same preparation standard at a different scale.

See the cost behind the quantities

CaterPro recalculates food costs as well as ingredient needs, giving you a clearer basis for reviewing the menu price.
