Your menu in, a working calculator out

Start with the menu you already have. Upload it as a PDF, snap photos of a printed one, or paste plain text. The AI reads the dishes, prices, units and dietary markings, then groups everything into categories. You get a review list, not a mystery: check the flagged rows, accept the rest in bulk, and your first quote calculator is ready to share.

  • PDF, photos or pasted text
  • Prices, units and dietary markings detected

Automatic volume discounts

Tell customers where you go, before they ask

List the areas you serve by name and set a delivery fee for each. Your service area shows on your public page and calculator, the customer picks their area from your list instead of guessing with postcodes, and requests from outside your area arrive clearly marked, so nothing gets confirmed by accident.

  • Named service areas that work anywhere in the world
  • A fee per area, free over a limit you choose
  • Pickup, delivery, or served at your own venue

Rent out your spaces

Pro

If you have private rooms, halls or suites, make them bookable. Give each space its own price, photos and capacity, and let the customer pick the space first and the menu second. A space is only held when you confirm the order, and overlapping requests are flagged, so a double booking never slips through.

  • Price, photos and capacity per space
  • Space first, menu second, one request
  • Held only when you confirm, clashes flagged

Rent out your tableware

A customer picking up the food usually needs plates and glasses too, so offer them at the same time. Tableware rides on the same quote as the menu, you price each item however you like, and you say whether a thing is counted per guest, per order, or by the customer. The Warehouse keeps the count honest: it knows what is already booked on a given date and how many days the glasses need before they are washed and back, so two Saturdays never get promised the same 120. Rental lines get their own returned-items list on quotes and prep sheets.

Warehouse

Pro

Know how many plates, glasses and rentable items you actually have left on any date, before you promise them twice. Reservations are derived automatically from your accepted orders, and you can choose whether a sent, unanswered quote should hold stock too.

  • Reservations are derived automatically from accepted orders
  • Optionally hold stock for quotes you have sent but no one has answered yet
  • Turnaround days between rentals, so items just back from a wedding are not offered again before they are washed
  • A one-time import sets your opening stock counts for everything you already own
The Warehouse page showing on-hand, reserved and available counts for tracked products

Prep sheet, shopping list and rental lists

Every order on an event, aggregated into one kitchen-ready sheet: ingredients scaled to the guest count, plus separate picking and return lists for anything you are renting out.

  • Ingredients pulled from each product's recipe and grouped by category
  • A rental picking list for what to load, and a return list for what comes back
  • Print it, export a PDF, or copy it as plain text

Ingredients

Chicken thighs9.6 kg
Basmati rice6.0 kg
Fresh coriander0.8 kg

Rentals to load

Round tables, 6-seat12 pcs

Pro

When a customer picks a dish, the calculator offers what pairs with it, wine with the steak, coffee with the cake, right at the moment they are deciding. You set the pairings once, and the calculator does the asking, so the average order quietly grows.

  • Pair any product with the add-ons that suit it
  • One popup at the right step, never a nag
  • Added items ride the same quote, emails and prep sheet
