Food trucks
One truck or five, it is the same four problems.

What it does
Four things, and they are the whole job
Everything below ships today. Nothing here is a roadmap item.
Your real dates, on your own site
One resolver decides what a day is, and the public availability widget embeds anywhere. A booked private gig shows as a shape and a time — never who, never where.
- Public availability widget
- Block a day with no reason attached
- Capacity that says when it cannot fit
The price follows the day
A Saturday in December is not a Tuesday in February. Set the rule once and every quote, widget and booking page carries it — including the busy-day lift, which reads your actual diary.
- Date and season pricing rules
- Busy-day lift from real bookings
- Same rules on quote, funnel and widget
Enquiry in, deposit paid, without you typing it
CaterCloud reads the email, pulls the event out of it, drafts the reply and builds the quote. Your customer accepts and pays the deposit, and the job is on the board and the calendar.
- Enquiry read into a real event
- Quote and deposit in one link
- Google Calendar stays in step
What the gig actually made
Food cost per head and price per head on the same line, with crew, travel and fuel against the takings. Where a cost cannot be worked out the event says so rather than calling it zero.
- Per-event P&L
- Food cost from your own supplier prices
- A gap is named, never rounded to $0
The fourth one, moving
What the gig actually made
Every inclusion prices itself against what you have really paid for the ingredients, and says which rung that number earned. Where a cost cannot be derived the event withholds the margin rather than calling the cost zero.

03 — In their words
Caterers who love CaterCloud
“The moment I realised this was actually working was waking up in the morning and having the leads in my inbox already — without chasing the business. I've gone from one booking a month to three or four.”
Michelle
Owner, Michelle's Catering
50–60% of leads converted
“I run three businesses, so chasing quotes and back-of-house was really hard work. Now people order and pay through the website and get a quote instantly — I don't have to lift a finger.”
Mel
Owner, Junction Cafes
2–3 a day enquiries, was 2–3 a week · admin halved
“This software does it all for us — our invoicing's done, our payment schedules are done, the quoting tool's there. We can be asleep and still get leads. Without it, our truck would be sitting in the backyard not generating revenue.”
Steve & Amanda
Owners, Travelling Carnivores
45–55 quotes sent / month
“We've collected $40k just in deposits. Our calendar is filling up — we're actually in the process of getting a second van. One job alone basically paid for the whole system.”
