Clients + venues + events. Recipes with scaled ingredient lists. Menus per event. Staff scheduling. Equipment tracking. Invoices with deposit + balance. Forecast for next week's grocery run across all booked events. Built so a one-chef operation is easy and a 10-person catering crew is still sane.
Client, venue, date, guest count, dietary constraints. Build the menu from your recipe book. Per-guest and per-menu-item cost rolls up automatically.
One recipe, infinite guest counts. Ingredients scale with waste %. Pull a cross-event shopping list for next week that sums ingredients across every booked event.
Assign lead + prep + service staff to each event. Hourly rate per role. Labor cost rolls up into the event estimate. Clash-detect when a staffer is double-booked.
Warming boxes, chafers, tablecloths, the good knife set. Reserve equipment to an event. Prevent double-booking. Check-out / check-in flow so nothing walks off.
Deposit taken on booking (Stripe or Square). Balance due day-of or day-after. PDF contracts generated from templates. Year-end P&L per-event + annual.
Flask + SQLAlchemy. Runs on a laptop. Your client list + recipes are not shared with a platform's ML team.
