Catering software goes beyond POS by managing inquiry, quoting, production planning, delivery coordination, and invoicing in one operational flow.

What a catering system should handle

  • Quotes and approvals with clear pricing and minimums.
  • Production planning aligned to kitchen capacity.
  • Delivery scheduling with routes and staff assignments.
  • Invoicing and reporting for clean reconciliation.
  • Customer communication across SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, and email.
  • Online payments for deposits and final settlements.

Our approach

VAERP brings catering workflows into a single system so teams can scale without chaos. The dashboard (as shown) tracks lead and order status at a glance, with package and meal coverage built in.

End-to-end catering workflow

The platform bundles a complete workflow from first inquiry to final payment:

  • Lead creation lead win order creation
  • Invoice generation deposit payment
  • Production and delivery
  • Full payment and closure

Multi-channel customer communication

Keep customers informed at every stage with:

  • SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, and email notifications
  • Payment links for quick deposits and balances
  • Status updates for orders and deliveries

Add-on items for event hosting

Serve more than food by offering additional items right in the order:

  • Chairs, tables, and event tents
  • Balloons, decor, and serving equipment
  • Stalls and counters (for example, an ice cream stall)

Subscription and tiffin services

VAERP also supports recurring food delivery:

  • Daily, weekly, or custom schedules
  • Flexible pause or resume controls
  • Consistent billing and delivery tracking
