The Catering Toolkit — the complete back office of a working catering business

Don't build your catering back office from scratch.

Everything here is laid out in the order you'd actually use it on a booking — not filed by document type and left for you to work out. Cost the job, send the proposal, confirm it, plan the kitchen, sort staff, run the event, close it out. The paperwork for those stages is already written.

This is the actual back office of a working catering business, used on real jobs.

WHAT CHANGES

Pricing — know what a job has to earn before you quote it, instead of finding out afterwards.

Proposals — reply properly the same day without starting from a blank page.

The kitchen — turn a confirmed booking into production sheets, prep lists and allergen records.

The event — give drivers and staff what they need without relying on WhatsApp and memory.

Compliance — keep the records that matter organised and repeatable.

Your team — onboard people the same way every time.

WHAT YOU GET

90 ready-to-use documents, each in editable Word and print-ready PDF. 8 working Excel calculators — real formulas, not blank cells. 8 complete workflows. 15 spreadsheets in all, including temperature logs, an allergen matrix, a staff rota and a training log. An AI prompt library included as a bonus.

Access is instant and online — your own portal, everything in one place, nothing to install. A downloadable copy is included too, so you keep it permanently and it works offline.

Yours to keep. One-off payment, no subscription. Edit it, rebrand it, put your own logo on it and use it in your business for as long as you like.

WHO IT'S FOR

Independent caterers, private chefs and small catering companies who are busy enough that winging the admin has started to hurt.

Written for the UK. The health, safety and compliance section follows UK rules — if you're elsewhere, that section needs checking against local requirements. Everything else travels fine.

"I've been in events catering for over ten years, and honestly the admin side has always been the thing that finishes me. This catering toolkit flipped everything. It's all there, everything makes sense, and you can tell it's been put together by people who actually know catering." — Tony, Sibi Catering

"It looks amazing — everything's right where you need it, and the links to each part of the timeline are brilliant." — Ashley Marsh, A J Marsh Private Dining, Salisbury
