Overview
Turn approved catering contracts, menus and change notes into a consolidated event-order brief covering guest count, menu quantities, service timing, dietary information and pending decisions.
Why it works
Catering teams coordinate many moving details before an event. AI can consolidate scattered order information into a single operational document, reducing the chance that staff overlook a change.
