For caterers, food trucks, and BBQ businesses
Catering jobs are slipping away in your DMs.
Right now, catering inquiries come in through Facebook DMs, Instagram messages, and missed calls. By the time you reply with a price, they have already booked someone else. You are losing jobs you should have won.
BookedPlate gives every guest an instant price and sends you the inquiry the second it comes in, so you reply first. And if a guest stalls, BookedPlate follows up for you until the job is booked or closed.
How it works
- Share your link. Put your quote form on your website or in your bio.
- Guests get an instant price. They pick a date, headcount, and menu, and see the estimate right away. It is a real number too, with your delivery fee and tax included, so there are no surprises later.
- Guests book it themselves. They pay a deposit from their own booking page, their date gets blocked, and the inquiry flips to Booked. You get a confirmation email and just show up and cater.
- BookedPlate chases the rest. If a guest goes quiet before paying the deposit, BookedPlate emails them for you, and saved quotes get a reminder too. Booked guests get a polite balance reminder before the event. Every booking those emails bring back is marked on your dashboard, so you can see what they earned you.
One quote form, one dashboard, and a follow-up system that books jobs while you cook.
