Frequently Asked Questions

What is catering software?

Catering software helps catering businesses manage the workflow behind events, including inquiries, clients, menus, event details, guests, teams, invoices, and payments.

What should I look for in catering software?

Caterers commonly need tools for inquiry management, client information, event management, menus, guest information, invoicing, payments, and team coordination. Sous brings these core workflows together in one system.

Can I manage catering inquiries with Sous?

Yes. Custom inquiry forms let you collect important event and client information and organize new opportunities in Sous.

Yes. While Sous does not currently have sub-user capabilities and comprehensive team management tools, it does include team assignment and sharing tools that allow scheduling and alignment.

Can Sous replace Square for catering?

Sous can handle invoice-based online payments as part of a broader catering workflow. Unlike a payment processor alone, Sous connects payments to the clients, events, invoices, and other business information surrounding the transaction.

Can Sous replace QuickBooks for catering?

Sous is designed for managing the operational side of your catering business, including clients, events, invoices, and payments. QuickBooks is primarily an accounting system, so the two serve different purposes.
