What the workspace runs

The ERP is not five pages. Every catering & food service workspace inherits the operating spine and adds what this industry actually needs.

Records the ERP keeps

  • Event record: guest count, service style, venue constraints
  • Menu with recipes, yields, and plate cost
  • Purchase order against the event, not a general pantry
  • Staffing plan with roles and call times
  • Allergen and dietary restriction register

Workflows it ships with

  • Tasting → menu selection → deposit and guest-count deadline
  • Purchase order generated from menu × final count
  • Prep schedule and staff call times issued from the event record
  • Post-event food cost reconciliation against plate cost

Integrations wired first

  • Food distributors
  • Rental companies
  • Stripe
  • QuickBooks

The four numbers the owner checks

  • Food cost as a percent of event revenue
  • Labor cost per event
  • Final guest count versus contracted
  • Repeat and referral booking rate

Vision layer

Menu and guest count generate the purchase order, the prep schedule, and the plate cost before the deposit clears.

/// Underneath every workspace

The part that is the same for everyone

The industry configuration sits on top of a platform that captures what you touch, indexes it without being told how, answers questions about it in plain language, and runs agents against it while you are doing something else. The same index holds the things in your week that are not business at all.

The second brain

Everything you touch gets captured, indexed and recallable in plain language, so remembering stops being a job you do.

  • Put it in once
  • The index builds itself
  • Ask instead of search
  • Decisions outlive the chat
  • A briefing, not a dashboard

The connectors

Your mail, calendar, phone, files and logged-in accounts feed the same context. Nothing has to be re-entered to count.

  • Mail, calendar and drive
  • Forward it and forget it
  • Your logged-in accounts, connected
  • Calls and texts in the same record
  • An API you can point anything at
  • Bring your own assistantbuilding

The workforce

Agents that keep working when you close the laptop, on models you choose, with every step visible.

  • Work that continues without you
  • Your context is not one vendor's asset
  • You can see what the agent is doing

The business

A CRM remembers people. This books the job, dispatches it, documents it, invoices it and settles it.

  • Book it, dispatch it, prove it happened
  • Get paid on the same record
  • Marketing that reads your own records
  • A site and a domain that stay yours
  • It arrives already knowing your industry
  • Everyone who touched the deal is on the record

The other half of your week

The obligations that are not business are still obligations. They belong in the same index, on the same calendar, out of your head.

  • Your documents get the same index
  • Nothing with a due date lives in your head
  • One workspace, business and personal kept apart
  • Hand the recurring parts to an agent

Who it is for

Segments

  • Weddings and social events
  • Corporate lunches and conference catering
  • Nonprofit galas and fundraising events

What hurts today

  • Plate costs estimated, never measured after the event
  • Guest counts that move and menus that do not reprice
  • Allergen information passed verbally to the line

How it makes money

Per-head event catering

Staffing, rentals, and bar service

Corporate recurring and drop-off catering

Brand system

Chef-forward but numerate. Talks per-head cost, dietary restrictions, and service style without apology.
