What is LightCater?

LightCater is event and catering management software for caterers, banquet halls, hotels and restaurants with private events, from a single venue to multi-property groups. Every enquiry lands in one pipeline, with lead scoring and automatic follow-ups. Turn it into a branded proposal the client accepts online, a contract they e-sign on any device, and an invoice they pay by card, with an online deposit or a payment plan. Banquet Event Orders (BEOs) and function sheets come straight from the booking, so the kitchen and floor teams work from the same plan without retyping. Plan rooms with 2D and 3D floor plans, see every hall on one calendar and avoid double bookings. Schedule staff and let them claim shifts from their phone, track rental inventory, cost recipes and menus, and send post-event feedback surveys. LightCater connects to hotel PMS systems (Mews, Oracle OPERA Cloud, apaleo, Cloudbeds, eviivo, Guestline, Zucchetti), QuickBooks and Xero, Google and Outlook calendars, and Stripe for online payments. A built-in AI assistant drafts emails in your tone, summarizes your inbox and flags leads gone quiet or events still missing a final headcount. Available in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. 14-day free trial, no credit card.

What is CaterScale?

CaterScale is a digital platform tailored for managing catering activities, allowing businesses to generate quotes and simplify the process of coordinating events. Users can develop event proposals using customized menus and conveniently share a link with clients for their feedback and approval while tracking changes in guest counts or menu selections. Teams are equipped to retain the most up-to-date approved event plan as they await additional revisions. After bookings are finalized, they can produce kitchen preparation and packing lists, manage invoicing, and monitor both deposits and outstanding payments. Moreover, CaterScale facilitates online payment processing through an integrated Stripe account, ensuring financial transactions are seamless. This all-encompassing workflow connects client approvals with event details, billing, and kitchen operations, giving caterers a unified experience from the initial quote to the event's execution. In essence, CaterScale significantly boosts the efficiency and organization of catering teams, leading to streamlined operations and happier clients while allowing users to focus on delivering exceptional service.
