Frequently Asked Questions

Can I manage multi-day event staffing from one place?

Yes. Create an event, assign staff across multiple shifts and venues, track check-ins, and monitor progress all from a single dashboard — even for events running several days.

How do I attach client menus and run-sheets to a catering job?

Upload PDFs or images directly to the job card. Staff see attached documents in the mobile app before they arrive on-site, keeping everyone aligned with the event brief.

Can I track hired equipment (chafing dishes, linens) per event?

Yes. Add hired items as assets on the job. The system tracks what went out, what came back, and flags any missing items so you can follow up with clients promptly.

How do I handle last-minute staff replacements on the day?

Open the schedule, swap the staff member in one click, and the replacement receives an instant push notification with full event details and their check-in location.

Can clients sign off on event completion digitally?

Yes. Staff present a digital sign-off screen at the end of an event. The client signs on the device, and a timestamped confirmation is saved to the job record automatically.

How do I invoice for extras ordered on the day (extra courses, staff hours)?

Techs log additions in the app during the event. They flow straight into the invoice so you bill accurately for every extra without chasing notes after the event ends.

What does the software cost for a catering business?

Plans start at $5 per employee per month. Businesses with 2 or fewer employees use the platform completely free. Every new account gets a 55-day free trial — no credit card required.
