What Is Catering Proposal Software?
Catering proposal software connects event sales details to a client-ready offer and signed acceptance. CaterCamp proposals include dated event and client information, itemized descriptions, quantities and prices, validity date, terms, PDF export, email delivery, secure review, decline, and signed acceptance with signer identity and consent evidence.
Proposal Builder Features for Caterers
Everything you need to send proposals that close faster than email attachments.
Consistent Proposal Documents
Create event-linked proposals with client details, validity date, line items, totals, and reusable default terms.
Menu Builder with Pricing
Add itemized descriptions, quantities, and unit prices. CaterCamp recalculates the proposal total as line items change.
E-Signature Approval
Clients review a secure link and provide their name, consent, and signature or initials. CaterCamp records the acceptance timestamp and contract evidence.
Connected Invoicing
Create a separate event-linked invoice with deposit terms and a configured Stripe or PayPal payment link when the booking is ready for billing.
Proposal Tracking & Analytics
Track draft, sent, viewed, approved, and declined status, plus the signed contract record. CaterCamp does not track time spent per section.
One-Click Contract Conversion
Signed acceptance creates or updates the linked contract record. BEO and invoice creation remain explicit actions in the event workspace.
From Inquiry to Signed Proposal in Minutes
CaterCamp streamlines the hardest part of catering sales: moving from tasting to signed contract.
Build the Proposal
Select the event, add proposal details and terms, then build itemized descriptions, quantities, and pricing.
Send for Review
Send a customizable email containing a secure proposal URL. The client can review it in a supported browser without a dashboard account.
Client Approves Online
The client accepts with recorded identity and consent or declines the proposal. Payment is handled separately through an invoice link.
Continue the Event Workflow
Signed acceptance updates the proposal and contract. Your team can then confirm the event and create its BEO, staffing, equipment, and invoice records.
