Do you recognize this?
Making quotations takes me so much extra time
Create the most beautiful quotes with smart templates, in no time. Full color, in your corporate identity.
You sometimes buy too much
Enter your recipe once, and Catermonkey’s purchasing calculator automatically calculates what to order where – for one event or for the whole week.
Your profits could have been better at the end of the year
Cut, paste, type, plan, calculate and maybe order too much. These are all avoidable costs that you tackle with the right catering software.
Your mailbox is bulging, and you're falling behind
Catermonkey’s digital workflow minimizes unnecessary emails. Everything organized in one system.
You are no longer behind on your mailbox. Responding quickly will do your sales numbers good!
You are being lived
Make tasks more transferable and transparent to everyone in your organization. Gone are the days when everyone has to ask you.
You have no visibility into your food margin
Catermonkey tells your margin by ingredient, dish, buffet, package, and event. In realtime.
Do you regularly fish next to an offer?
If so, another caterer was probably ahead of you with his offer and thus gained the customer’s trust. Digitize your quotations and play much closer to the ball.
You find out late that client has a much lower budget in mind.
With a quote indicator tool, customers can click on their requirements on your website and already get a price indication.
So before you’ve already wasted energy on it.
Too preoccupied with administrative tasks
Digitizing your processes will make tasks transferable, eliminate unnecessary cutting and pasting, and create overview.
For everyone.
You actually don't dare go on vacation
With catering software, tasks become transferable for your employees. So when you’re on vacation, your employees know exactly what to do. And you can log on to any computer with internet, if you do need to.
You print a lot, and have a lot of computers in the business
Working without a proper digital workflow takes a lot of paper, a sea of laptops and staff to operate it.
You will save substantially on all of the above, while everyone has more oversight.
Customers sometimes have to wait a long time for their quotes
In that case, you will often fall short of a task.
What a pitty!
Especially now that you know there is an affordable and thoughtful alternative developed for and by industry peers.
Only you know everything, it's all in your head
This gives a restless feeling.
When you digitize, that’s done.
You create tremendous leverage, which also makes your business much more valuable to a potential acquirer.
