BOULDER, Colo. – April 2, 2018 — ChefTec, the leading software for back of house restaurant and kitchen needs, is now working with CaterEase, the number one catering and event planning software, to bring a more detailed look at menu costing and analysis for the catering and event world.
Consider this, You are a catering company that is growing. You are now seeing that you have multiple menu items that are used the most, yet each time this item is put on a menu, you are costing it out. With ChefTec, you no longer have to cost it out, based on the last time you made purchases for this item, it is saved nicely in ChefTec for you to see the most accurate pricing for that menu item. It allows you to see your necessity
ChefTec is designed to cost out your menu while providing detailed inventory to gather information for your back of house event planning. Using CaterEase, a client can input their vital information for their event including the menu they are using and amount of attendees. From there, an interface that links CaterEase and ChefTec can communicate to price out the menu, provide preparation production lists for the cooks and even scale a set menu to the needs of the event.
With the connection of the two software companies, catering companies and event planners can seamlessly plan and cost out events in a much easier, time saving way. ChefTec makes it easy to set up menus and recipes that can be modified to meet the needs of the events.
In the past, companies have had to two an event planning software to create their calendars, the venue needs, the client needs, and keep this is all separated from their food needs. Once they have planned a menu, the event company, then has to come up with a plan of action to create a menu, price it out, gather inventory, scale the menu back and forth accordingly to the needs of the client, write out notes of substitutions, etc. Now a company can write their own most popular menu items as recipes, can create recipes with the substitutions for dietary needs, etc. and keep pricing on hand. They have their inventory sheets and know the most current pricing based on their inventory that was most recently received. No more losing money on outdated recipe information or forgetting to meet the dietary needs of the guests at an event.
Another advantage to this partnership is that the information ChefTec brings can be transmitted back to the CaterEase software and stored together. The importing of CaterEase Banquet Event Orders to ChefTec is seamless. The time saving production sheets can be for one event or for all your events at a venue of choice. Your reports are guaranteed to save you time, keep great organization, and have a completely successful event.
