You're great at events. The inbox is what's costing you bookings.

While you're running today's event, tomorrow's clients are waiting on you.

Slow replies

Inquiries sit for hours while you're busy with everything else. By the time you answer, they've booked someone faster.

Missed calls

You can't pick up mid-service. Callers don't wait — they call the next caterer.

Leads go cold

Knot, WeddingWire, email, Instagram — leads everywhere, follow-up nowhere. Quotes go out and nobody checks back.

No reviews

Your best events never make it to Google. And one bad review shows up before you even hear about the problem.

Your event software was built to run events — not to chase everything that happens before and after them.

So a missed email becomes a lost client — and a tense conversation with your team. It's not a people problem. It's a system problem.

What is slow or no follow-up really costing you?

Plug in your own numbers. We don't guess — you know your business.

One saved event covers 7 months of Cateround Leads

Your software runs your events. We run everything before and after it.

One system that catches every lead, follows up for you, books the tasting and brings back the review — whether you're at an event, in a meeting or off for the weekend.

01 · CAPTURE

Capture

Every inquiry from your website, phone, email, The Knot or WeddingWire lands in one place and gets a real reply with a quote in under 5 minutes. Missed a call? They get a text right away.

02 · FOLLOW UP

Follow up

Friendly follow-ups go out on day 3, 7, 14 and 30, and your quotes get chased for you. If a lead goes unanswered, you get an alert before it goes cold.

03 · BOOK

Book

Prospects pick a tasting time from your real calendar. Confirmations and reminders go out on their own, so fewer people forget to show up.

04 · GET REVIEWED

Get reviewed

After the event, happy clients get a direct link to your Google review page. Unhappy ones reach you privately first, so you can fix it before it goes public.

= More money, fewer headaches.

Live in 14 days. You barely lift a finger.

You run your business. We do the building.

STEP 1

Check your fit in 5 minutes.

Tell us how inquiries reach you today. We'll tell you honestly if we're a fit. No pitch deck, no pressure.

STEP 2

We build it — you approve it.

Send us the menu you already share with clients and your starting price per guest. We set up everything and write every message in your voice — or plug in yours. You just review and approve.

STEP 3

Go live and watch it work.

A short walkthrough video and you're running. Every week you see what came in, what got answered and what got booked.

Your part: one short form, your current menu and starting prices, and a quick approval. We handle everything else.

Text messaging turns on once mobile carriers approve your business number — timing set by the carriers, not us. Email replies, quotes and follow-up work from day one.

Don't take our word for it. Try it.

Founder note

Built inside a catering company — not a web agency.

I work inside a DMV catering company. I've seen the lead that goes cold because nobody answered for 48 hours, the quote nobody followed up on, the chef counting chafers the night before an event. A general web agency doesn't know what breaks in this business. We do — so we built the system we wished we had.

— Gian, Co-Founder

Get more from the software you already pay for — we handle everything around it.

Nothing to replace. Nothing to migrate. No new login for your team.

14days

Live in 14 days — or your next month is on us.

The 14 days start the moment we have your menu, starting prices and approved messages. If we miss it, you don't pay for month two.

  • No long-term contract
  • Cancel anytime
  • Leave with everything that's yours

If you cancel, you get your full lead list, every quote, your review history and all your approved messages. Want to keep your text number? We'll send you everything you need to move it.

Text messaging goes live once mobile carriers approve your number; carrier timing is excluded from the 14 days.

Is Cateround right for you?

A great fit if you…

  • Run a catering business for weddings, corporate or private events
  • Get inquiries from your website, phone, email, The Knot or WeddingWire
  • Lose leads because nobody answers fast enough
  • Want more Google reviews without chasing clients
  • Use Gmail or Outlook for your business

Not a fit if you…

  • Want to replace Caterease, Tripleseat or your current event software — we work alongside it
  • Need us to bring you traffic or run ads — we help you win the inquiries you already get
  • Want to text-blast purchased contact lists — we only message people who reached out to you
  • Want to manage a new app every day — this runs in the background

Not a caterer? Florist, DJ, planner or venue — the same system answers your inquiries, follows up and brings in reviews.

Questions caterers ask us

I'm not techy. Can I handle this?

Yes. We build and run everything. Your part is sending your menu and prices and approving your messages. No new app to learn.

Does it work with Caterease, Tripleseat or my current software?

It works alongside it. We handle what happens before and after the event. When a lead is ready to book, you move it into your software just like you do today.

Do I need Google or Microsoft?

Either one. We work with Gmail or Outlook, and your calendar and files stay where they are.

Do I have to get on a call?

No. You can do everything online, on your own time. If you'd rather talk, book a 15-minute call.

What do you need from me?

Your business details, the menu you already share with clients, your starting price per guest and a quick approval of your messages. Photos or PDFs are fine.

What if I don't have set prices?

You can start without them. Inquiries still get an instant reply and follow-up, and the PDF quote turns on once you send your starting prices.

Who writes the messages?

You can write them yourself, and we'll plug them in. Short on time? We'll write them in your voice. Either way, nothing goes out until you approve it.

When will I see results?

From day one, every new inquiry gets answered in minutes. How many turn into bookings depends on your leads and your prices; we show you the numbers every week.

Are the text messages legal?

Yes. Your number is registered with US carriers for business texting (A2P 10DLC). We only text people who contacted you and agreed to receive texts, and anyone can reply STOP at any time.

Is there a limit on texts?

Your plan includes 500 texts a month — more than most caterers use. Extra texts are $0.03 each, and we'll let you know before you get close.

Will you bring me new customers?

No. We don't run ads. We help you win more of the inquiries you already get.

Can I cancel?

Anytime. No long-term contract. You leave with your full lead list, quotes, review history and messages.

Who owns my data?

You do. We use it only to run your system, and we delete it 30 days after you leave.

How do you handle my data and privacy?

Your leads live in a private Google Sheet or Excel file that only you and our team can open. We never sell or share your data, and we only text or email people who contacted you first.

Is it secure?

We connect to your email and calendar through Google's or Microsoft's official sign-in — we never see your password, and you can remove our access in one click.

What if something stops working?

We monitor your system every day. If a step fails, we get an alert and fix it — usually within 1 business day, at no extra cost.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer (ACH) or card. The first payment covers setup and your first month; after that, a simple monthly charge.

How long does setup take?

14 days from the moment we have your info and approvals. Text messaging turns on once carriers approve your number.

Your next client is already in your inbox.

Every inquiry answered in 5 minutes with a quote attached. Every lead followed up. Every happy client asked for a review. Without hiring more staff.

Every week without follow-up is a week of inquiries going to someone else.
