Mood4Food is an energetic and growing catering company based in Amersfoort that specialises in events with a strong culinary experience. With their food concepts, they serve surprising flavours, creative combinations and a professional approach, from company parties to large public events. The team now caters for more than 100 events per year, ranging from 100 to as many as 2,000 visitors. We spoke to Driesse about the evolution of their operations and how structure plays a crucial role in this.
Everything in one place: from chaos to control
Whereas the team used to work with a combination of separate lists, tools and software, there is now peace of mind and clarity. “We came from a situation where information was scattered across all kinds of programmes. Nothing was stored locally or centrally. Now everything is in one system, which provides much more peace of mind and efficiency.”
Catermonkey acts as the central link in the operation of Mood4Food. “Everything is in one place: margins, offerings, weights, prices, recipes… and the great thing is: you can easily extract it all again.”
From proposal to invoice: one streamlined process
With more than a hundred events each year, efficiency is essential. “It can sometimes be a real puzzle to keep everything under control: you start with a proposal, move on to planning, draw up a script, arrange staffing and end up with invoicing. Without structure, it quickly becomes confusing.”
That’s where the platform comes in handy. “It works quickly, is easy to use, and saves us loads of time every week. Without Catermonkey, we simply wouldn’t be able to do what we do now.”
More than software: a foundation for your business
According to Driesse, what makes the system truly unique is its versatility. “It’s not just software for creating quotes. It’s a complete business foundation: your customer base, your offerings, your recipes, your ingredients, your cost structure… everything is in there.”
His advice to others? “Are you unsure? Just do it. It’s the perfect foundation for any hospitality business that wants to operate professionally.”
