Caterease overview

What is Caterease?

Designed in conjunction with event planners of all sizes, Caterease is the perfect solution to simplify your busy workday. Create custom screen displays that respect your team’s workflow, custom event prints that reflect your company’s image and custom queries to track the specific information you need. Boost productivity, avoid costly mistakes and save precious time and money with this intuitive and user-friendly program.

Book and manage events easily – from simple drop-off orders to elaborate affairs – with handy wizards and other data-entry tools guiding you every step of the way. Build detailed event menus effortlessly by dragging and dropping entire groups of items at one time – including all associated details including optional ingredients and equipment packing lists. Even optionally include shift or employee staffing details for your events – with all potential scheduling conflicts instantly evaluated by the program.

Caterease also offers two separate print designing tools that allow you to build a custom library of front-of-house and back-of-house event prints. Choose from a list of attractive, professionally-designed templates or create your own custom layouts that showcase your company’s unique image and brand.

Send customizable payment links and instantly process payments individually or in batch with our powerful HPay Payment Processing system. Backed by leading financial institutions such as JP Morgan Chase or WorldPay from FIS, HPay stores a token of your customer’s credit card on file to make multiple payments a snap. Customizable payment link or authorization link emails allow you the option to avoid entering any protected card data while still making collecting and managing payments quick and easy.

Track and monitor events and other details effortlessly with Caterease's intuitive calendars, interactive graphs and detailed reports. Design completely custom queries that analyze information based on any criteria and display results that can be customized, printed and exported in a variety of formats. Stay on top of every detail, effortlessly manage your time and make data-driven decisions that elevate your event planning game.

Optionally review information easily outside of the program with the powerful Caterease Sales Dashboard – accessible from any web browser – as well as the handy Caterease mobile app. Using the app, you can make quick final edits or even post payments right in the palm of your hand – from right on the floor of the event!

Share up-to-date event details with your customers quickly and easily via the convenient Caterease online Customer Portal. Customer can review the latest information, chat back and forth with you about the event, download prints and other files you have chosen to share, sign off on the general party details and even post payments from right in the portal.

Discover how easy event management can be with Caterease Software. Simplicity, innovation and power all rolled into one revolutionary application. Nothing else even comes close.
