How the plug-in works for Catering & Events
Catering enquiries start with a headcount and a date and stall while someone prepares a quote. A plug-in can multiply your per-guest prices on the spot and send you a quote request with everything needed to firm it up.
The customer describes the job, the plug-in works out an estimate from your published prices, and once they agree it sends your team the request with the estimate and a reference. General questions about menus, minimums and event quote requests are answered from your business profile.
Your team confirms every quote itself. The plug-in never takes payment and only shares what you have published.
The Catering & Events plug-in is available to businesses in any country. Free setup of your business profile in ChatGPT is for US businesses for now; outside the US, choose a plug-in plan and we confirm your setup with you. Plug-in plans are $24.99 a month or $199 a year, paid through Stripe.
Where it pays off
A buffet estimate in one reply.
A repeat order for the monthly meeting.
A tasting request with the date.
A reference check instead of an email chase.
