The Problem: Planning Production is Complex and Time-Consuming

As a caterer, you need to plan production for each event: calculate quantities, organize teams, sequence preparations, manage time and space constraints. Between different events, teams to coordinate, and workflows to optimize, production planning can take hours. And a planning error can compromise an entire event.

The Reality

3-5 hours
Planning time/event
50-100 on average
Production tasks per event
2-5 during peak periods
Simultaneous events
10-15% of cases
Production delays
