The Challenges Catering Companies Face Every Day

Sound familiar? Hey Mag solves these automatically.

1

Menu Customization Takes Forever

Back-and-forth calls about appetizer swaps and portion sizes eat up hours of your day. Clients want instant answers about dietary substitutions and pricing adjustments that you can't always provide on the spot.

Average catering booking requires 7+ touchpoints

2

Event Changes Create Chaos

When clients move dates or change guest counts, it triggers a domino effect through your kitchen prep, staff scheduling, and vendor orders. Last-minute changes often mean scrambling to reorganize your entire operation.

40% of catering events have date or size changes

3

Dietary Restrictions Get Lost

Tracking gluten-free, vegan, and allergy requirements across multiple conversations becomes a nightmare. Missing one dietary restriction can ruin an entire event and damage your reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can clients see our full menu options and seasonal items?
Yes, your AI displays your complete menu with seasonal availability, pricing tiers, and customization options. Clients can filter by dietary needs, cuisine type, or budget range to find exactly what they want.
How does the system handle minimum order requirements?
The AI automatically calculates order minimums based on your settings and suggests menu additions when clients fall short. It can recommend appetizer upgrades or dessert packages to meet your minimum requirements naturally.
Can we offer virtual tasting sessions through the platform?
While the AI handles tasting session scheduling and sends menu previews with photos, actual tastings happen at your location. The system coordinates calendar availability and sends preparation reminders for your team.
What happens when clients request items not on our standard menu?
The AI flags custom requests for your review and can suggest similar items from your menu as alternatives. All special requests are forwarded to you for pricing and feasibility confirmation.
How does dietary restriction tracking work for large events?
The system creates detailed dietary breakdowns by guest count, highlights potential cross-contamination risks, and generates prep sheets for your kitchen staff. It maintains records for repeat clients to streamline future bookings.
