QliChef stands for culinary creativity, quality and guest experience at the highest level. Led by Demian van der Kolk, the team provides refined catering solutions for both business and private clients. Whether it’s exclusive dinners, luxury business lunches or tasteful events, QliChef always delivers customised solutions with passion and attention to detail.
We spoke with Demian about the challenges involved in organising such diverse assignments and how Catermonkey helps to bring structure and efficiency to the process.
From loose notes to a clear system
Before switching to Catermonkey, QliChef still worked with loose notes, manual lists and many different tools. “We were looking for more automation so that we would spend less time on peripheral tasks,” explains Demian. He found Catermonkey via Google, and since then the team has been working with the platform on a daily basis.
Creating quotations, generating orders and, above all, producing clear production lists are now integral parts of the workflow. This centralisation ensures peace of mind and clarity during preparation.
Gain time to do what you do best
According to Demian, using Catermonkey has one major advantage: it saves time. Working more efficiently leaves more room for creativity, quality and personal attention to the customer. “We can focus better on cooking and service because the administration in the background runs much more smoothly.”
Any wishes still pending? “An improved link with SnelStart would be fantastic. It already exists, but it could be better aligned with how we work.”
Damian’s advice to fellow caterers is clear: “Get in touch with Catermonkey personally. They really help you and actively think along with you. That commitment makes all the difference for us.”
