Catering operations for restaurants, caterers & commercial kitchens

Turn every catering order into a precise prep plan, shopping list and profit picture.

CaterWiz turns guest counts and menu selections into exact ingredient quantities, a vendor-grouped shopping list, and real food-cost and margin numbers — before and after every event.

Catering math shouldn't live in a notebook and three spreadsheets.

Scaling a recipe by hand for 150 guests, guessing how much to buy, and finding out your margin after the event is over — that's how most kitchens run catering today. One missed conversion or a forgotten ingredient turns into an emergency store run or a plate that doesn't add up.

Before CaterWiz
Manual scaling, guesswork shopping trips, and margin you only find out after the event.
With CaterWiz
Exact prep quantities, a vendor-grouped shopping list, and a cost-and-margin picture before you buy anything.

How CaterWiz works

From menu to margin, in four steps.

  1. 1

    Build your menu & recipes

    Add menu items with versioned recipes, ingredient quantities, yields, and serving formats like half tray, full tray, or per person.

  2. 2

    Create an order

    Pick menu items and quantities for the event. CaterWiz scales each recipe to the guest count and serving format you choose.

  3. 3

    Get production quantities & shopping lists

    See exactly how much of each ingredient to prep, consolidated into one shopping list grouped by vendor.

  4. 4

    Review costs, vendor recs & margin

    Compare vendor price history, see estimated vs. confirmed cost, and know your food-cost percentage and margin.

Everything a catering kitchen needs, in one place

Order intake, recipes, shopping, and cost analysis — built to work together, not as separate tools.

Orders & quotes

Build a catering order or quote from guest count and menu selections. Duplicate a past order for a repeat event, and every order freezes its recipe and price snapshot so historical numbers stay accurate even after you update a recipe later.

Recipes & yields

Every menu item carries a versioned recipe with ingredient quantities, yield, and waste factor, so scaling to any guest count or serving format — half tray, full tray, per piece, or per person — stays consistent.

Smart shopping lists

Consolidate ingredients across every item on an order into one shopping list, grouped by vendor, with on-hand stock and package-rounded buy quantities so you don't over- or under-buy.

Vendor price history

Compare a normalized ingredient across the vendors you've actually bought from, using your own dated historical purchase prices — never a live quote or guaranteed current price.

Cost analysis

See estimated ingredient cost, confirmed purchase cost, food-cost percentage, and margin for every order, plus a dashboard that compares cost and margin across all of your orders.

Receipt & menu review

Menu and receipt import brings line items into CaterWiz as a draft. Nothing changes your price history or costs until you review and confirm them in your import review queue, and any correction you make is preserved the next time the same source is re-imported. Self-service upload from this page is coming soon.

ChatGPT & Claude integration

Available now

Connect CaterWiz to ChatGPT and ask plain-English questions about your catering operation — orders, shopping lists, and costs — right from the app you already use. Claude support is coming soon.

TillIQ / Clover integration

If you run on Clover, connect your account for read-only sales, order, and payment insight alongside your catering numbers — included with CaterWiz, not a separate product. Clover is optional; every catering feature works without it.

Numbers you can trust, because we show our work

Catering decisions are made on cost and margin — so we're careful about what we claim and what we show as uncertain.

  • Prices are dated purchases, not live quotes. Every confirmed price is a historical purchase your business actually recorded, shown with its date and source — never presented as current availability.

  • Missing data is shown as missing, not guessed. If a recipe or price hasn't been confirmed yet, CaterWiz tells you that directly instead of filling in a number for you.

  • Owner corrections are preserved. Receipt and menu imports are always a draft for you to review. Nothing changes your costs until you confirm it, and any correction you make is kept the next time you re-import the same source.

  • Strict tenant isolation. Your menu, recipes, vendors, prices, and orders belong to your business alone — no other account on the platform can see them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Clover required?
No. TillIQ (Clover integration) is an included capability, not a requirement — every catering feature works fully on its own.
Can CaterWiz support any restaurant?
CaterWiz works for any restaurant that runs catering or event orders — recipes, units, and serving formats are fully configurable, so it isn't tied to a specific cuisine or menu style. Each account represents one business; it isn't built to manage multiple separate restaurant locations under a single login.
Can I use half-tray and full-tray formats?
Yes. Every recipe can be scaled to whichever serving format you set up — half tray, full tray, per piece, or per person — and CaterWiz converts guest counts and menu selections into the exact quantities for the format you choose.
How are shopping quantities calculated?
CaterWiz scales each recipe's ingredient quantities to the guest count and serving format on your order, consolidates them across every item on that order, accounts for your recorded on-hand stock, and rounds up to each vendor's package sizes — so the shopping list shows exactly how much to buy, grouped by vendor.
Are vendor recommendations live prices?
No. Vendor comparisons are built from the dated historical purchases your business has actually recorded — never a live quote, current availability, or a price guarantee.
What happens when recipe or price information is missing?
CaterWiz shows it as missing rather than guessing a number, so you always know what still needs your input before you rely on a cost figure.
Can multiple restaurants use CaterWiz securely?
Yes. Every account is isolated to your own business — no other restaurant or tenant on the platform can see your menu, recipes, vendors, prices, or orders.
Can I request a demo?
Yes — use the Request a Demo link on the homepage to ask for one before creating an account, and we'll follow up directly to schedule it.
When am I charged?
Not at account creation. Your plan choice (monthly or annual) is saved when you create your account, and billing setup is completed as a separate step right afterward — no charge happens as part of signup itself.
