What Is Personal Chef Software?
Personal chef software organizes private-client relationships, dietary requirements, reusable menus, recipe yields and instructions, scheduled services, proposals, invoices, payments, and client communication. CaterCamp uses its event workflow for cook days, dinners, and recurring private-service records.
Personal Chef Management Features
Practical client, menu, recipe, scheduling, document, payment, and portal tools for private-service work.
Client & Dietary Records
Keep client contact notes and add guest- or group-level preferences, intolerances, allergies, severity, and cross-contact controls to each service event.
Reusable Menu Builder
Create menus and dishes with descriptions, price and cost per serving, ingredients, and dietary labels, then assign them to scheduled services.
Ingredient Pull & Stock Shortages
Use event guest counts and menu ingredients to review required quantities; Professional and Business can map stock and see shortages.
Service Scheduling
Create dated service events with times, locations, guest counts, timelines, tasks, and private calendar subscriptions.
Proposal & Invoice Billing
Send proposals and contracts, create per-service invoices, collect configured hosted payments, and maintain a payment ledger.
Recipe Library with Notes
Save recipe yield, prep and cook times, method, production notes, ingredients, and structured allergens for reusable menu items.
From Client Intake to Recurring Service
CaterCamp handles the long-term relationship management that personal chef work demands.
Client Onboarding
Create the client record and collect dietary or cross-contact details for the planned service through the secure portal or your own intake process.
First Meal Plan
Build a reusable menu, add recipe and ingredient details, and assign it to a dated client service event.
Recurring Service Starts
Schedule each cook day or dinner as an event. Use its production sheet and ingredient pull list, then send the relevant proposal or invoice.
Feedback Loop
Keep notes on the client and event, revise reusable menus and recipes, and retain proposals, invoices, messages, and payment history.
