Menu and margin tool

Catering Menu Package Builder

Turn menu items into a clear client-facing package while checking food, packaging, labor, rentals, delivery, overhead, profit, and the price required for your target margin.

Package presentation

Optional upgrades

Prices are presented per guest. Use the signed quote for final totals.

Package price and costs

Internal values stay out of the printed client package.

Use wage plus payroll burden and applicable premiums.

Cost the recipes first

Package margins are only as reliable as the recipe yields, portions, packaging, labor, and event costs entered here.

Open Menu Costing Tool

Move from package to quote

Use the package to explain the offer, then build a client-specific quote with the actual guest count, fees, tax estimate, deposit, and internal cost check.
