What's Next for Me?

The What's Next card on your launchpad gives you a real-time view of your setup progress and always surfaces the single most important step still outstanding. It's designed for new CaterCloud users working through their initial launch — so you're never guessing what to tackle next.

How It Works

When you open your Today view, the launchpad card reads your current account state and highlights the one remaining step you should complete. Tasks follow a fixed order, so nothing is skipped:

Brand and content tasks come first:

• Uploading your logo and brand colors
• Adding photos to your profile
• Building out your menu items and pricing

Connect tasks follow once your content is in place:

• Connecting a payment method
• Completing your public profile details
• Setting your service location or coverage area
• Publishing your page so clients can find you
• Connecting or verifying a custom domain
• Sending a test quote to confirm everything looks right
• Setting up ads or promotional options

Reading Your Progress

Each completed step is marked so you can see how far along you are at a glance. The card always points to the next outstanding item — not everything left to do, just the one you should focus on now.

If a step appears, it means CaterCloud has detected it isn't complete yet. Clicking or tapping it will take you directly into that setup area.

What to Do

1. Open your Today view from the main navigation.
2. Find the launchpad card — it shows your current progress and highlights the next step.
3. Select the highlighted step to jump straight into that task.
4. Complete it, then return to Today — the card will automatically update to show the next item.
5. Repeat until all steps are marked complete and your account is fully launched.

When You're Done

Once every step is complete, the launchpad card confirms your setup is finished and your account is ready to take real bookings.
