Restaurant and catering businesses face a particular challenge when quoting: every event is different in guest numbers, menu type, dietary restrictions, room set-up and complementary services such as an open bar, welcome cocktail or show cooking. The quote should present the price per guest, breaking down each item so the client can adjust their event to their real budget.
In catering for weddings, celebrations or corporate events, it's common to offer several menu options at different price points. Each option should detail the dishes, the drinks included, the waiting staff, the tableware and linen, and the optional extras. Clearly stating the minimum guest numbers, the surcharges for special menus (gluten-free, vegan) and the attendee-confirmation terms avoids last-minute misunderstandings.
DealForge lets restaurants and catering companies build event quotes with different menu options, automatic calculation based on guest numbers and versioning for every change the client requests. The electronic signature formalises the booking and the payment schedule is documented for both parties.
