The Catering Desk Proposal Pack
$149 one-time
The quoting system a working caterer spent weeks getting right — the proposal that wins the event, the structure that keeps the books straight, and the worksheet that tells you whether the event was worth taking.
What's in the pack
- The branded proposal template. Client-ready and phone-readable — because the person saying yes to your quote is usually reading it on their phone. Your logo, your menu, a layout that took about fifteen rounds of real-client iteration to get right.
- The QuickBooks estimate-template customization guide. How to make the estimate QuickBooks sends match the proposal you sent — step by step, with screenshots. People genuinely hunt YouTube for this; here it's written down properly.
- The taxed-materials / untaxed-labor quote structure. Menu & materials in the taxed section, labor & service in the untaxed one — the two-section structure that keeps your quote, your sales tax, and your books telling the same story. Generic invoice tools don't encode this; caterers who get it wrong fix it line by line later.
- Portion cheat sheets, one per service style. Buffet, plated, passed, and family-style — how much to make per guest, with the buffers a 30-year caterer would build in so you don't run out when someone reaches for a second dessert.
- The per-event P&L worksheet. Did that wedding actually make you money? Six numbers you already have — food sales, ingredients, hired labor, rent share — and the worksheet answers it in dollars, per event, before you quote the next one like it.
Where this comes from
The Catering Desk runs the tech and back-office side of a real catering operation. Every piece of this pack is something that operation actually bled time on — the proposal went through weeks of revisions on real client events, the QuickBooks structure was rebuilt after a books audit found 88 items in the accounts that the quote tool didn't know about, and the portion logic was tuned across real weddings and banquets. Nothing in here is theory.
One price, stated up front. No upsells behind the button.
One-time digital product, delivered by email, with a 14-day refund. The templates and worksheets are practical tools, not tax, legal, or financial advice. Full terms of sale.
