Catering software that help you manage your business

Using a catering software package like CaterEase, CaterEdge, or Synergy, will make routine duties easier than if you build your own spreadsheets.  These software packages can import ingredient costs right into recipes to make menu costings easier.

While buying industry-specific catering software will cost you more than using standard office software, it will make your job easier.  CaterEase and CaterEdge seem best suited for small catering businesses and are the most affordable.  In general, they allow you to do the following:
-Create proposals and contracts
-Track sales prospects
-Cost recipes
-Manage contact information
-Measure inventory
-Run custom reports
-Create invoices and handle accounts receivable
-Schedule and manage event labor
These catering software programs are often compatible with major office programs.

CaterEdge is designed for small office-premise caterers.  Visual Synergy by Synergy International is manufactured by a company that specializes in hospitality software.  Compare the functions and abilities of the three systems, and buy the one that is easiest for you to use.
