Create detailed, custom letter templates for printing or even for use in email correspondence – peppering them with merge fields that dynamically pull specific information directly from the event. Choose any custom letter to be printed or emailed from any event or even an entire GROUP of events, and it will look completely customized for each individual customer. And your fingers never even have to touch the keyboard!
In addition to custom merge letters, the Document Builder Package also lets you create any number of completely custom event prints – either for your customers or for your back-of-house team. Go far beyond the templates available in the program’s Print Designer by creating custom merge documents from a blank white page with any look and feel you want. The handy Merge Table Wizard lets you quickly insert specific information – menu items, staffing, payments, ingredients, and more – exactly where you want it. Your prints, your image – your way.
With Caterease Document Builder, all of your favorite word processing tools are available at your fingertips – inserting images, creating tables (with or without borders), checking spelling, formatting fonts, etc. No longer will you have to open one software program after another. Caterease has everything you need to simplify your busy workday.
Add or even import any number of prospective leads, and manage their statuses, track necessary next actions and easily report on any information.

Create unique proposals – including menu items and detailed financial breakdowns – and then generate or email custom prints for your lead to review. Copy entire proposals with a single mouse click to make minor changes and generate an updated quote. No duplicate data-entry; no wasted time!
Instantly convert any proposal into an actual event, and simultaneously (or separately) convert the lead into an active client – all with a couple of clicks of the mouse. All proposal details are automatically carried into Event Manager – so you never have to type the same thing more than once. Ever. If managing prospective leads is a major part of your business, the Prospect Manager is a must-have for your operation.
Create reminders that pop-up on your screen to help you remember important tasks and appointments. Just like with Microsoft Outlook, reminders can be set for any data and time – and can be assigned to any Caterease user. And, also like Outlook, you can dismiss or snooze the reminders with just a mouse click.

Even optionally have the program create history notes automatically when you perform such common tasks as sending emails to your customers.

Even manage reminders in a graphic calendar display – alternatively opting to create personal reminders on the fly for any date and time!

We at Caterease know that pickup and delivery orders have become the primary source of revenue for many of you. As a response, we have created a comprehensive tool to manage these orders within your existing Caterease program.
The new Quick Order wizard lets you create delivery or pickup orders for new or existing customers in an instant!
Quickly search for existing customers based on any detail – part of a phone number, first or last name or any other information – or add new customers easily on-the-fly. Choose from any number of delivery addresses associated with the customer, including prompts for locations outside of your custom “delivery zone”.
Enhanced Caterease menu selection tools allow you to easily grab any menu items for the order – dragging and dropping multiple items and searching by any item detail you know. An available list of a customer’s order history allows you to instantly copy the details a previous order to create a new order with a mouse click.
The program automatically calculates anticipated delivery or pickup time based on custom preferences you establish – considering prep times of all menu items ordered, distance to the delivery destination, a potential time buffer and any custom restrictions you might set on the number of orders per time period.
The calculated delivery or pickup time will default for any new quick order, and can be easily overridden by you.
Instantly select room types from a custom list of options, and the program automatically calculates standard rates or even special, seasonal rates. Optionally track separate totals for the number of rooms initially agreed upon versus the number of rooms blocked, an adjusted number and the number actually picked up (or used) by the guests. Choose which of these numbers you want to see on the screen, as well as which number should serve as the financial basis for the contract.
In addition to blocking various types of rooms, the Guestrooms Manager also lets you track other associated details for each rooms contract. Custom room taxes can be assigned and even edited on-the-fly; a detailed rooming list of specific guests staying in each room can be created; billing responsibility for restaurant charges, incidentals, etc. can be established and more.
Easily track group room usage in a variety of powerful, flexible ways. Attractive, detailed reports give you instantaneous access to valuable information; optional automatic inventory checking immediately warns you if you exceed a daily or monthly inventory of rooms; powerful query tools give you any results you need in flexible detail grids or in colorful charts and graphs. All the information you need to manager your group rooms is available right at your fingertips!

Caterease provides comprehensive menu management tools right within the program – including the ability to create detailed, scalable ingredient lists and accurately measure cost and profit. However, if you have already entered that information in a separate menu management application, you can leverage that effort by using one of our powerful interfaces. Caterease can determine menu usage for a single party or entire range of parties, determining which items have been ordered and in what quantities – and then export these details in a proprietary format for importing into Food-Trak, CostGuard, ChefTec or Yellow Dog Software. Once the information has been imported, you can use that third-party program to generate shopping lists and other detailed reports. You can even edit menu item costing in your third-party menu management program and then pull that updated detail into your Caterease menus quickly and easily.
Don’t waste time inputting the same information into two different programs. Share important information across applications easily with the incredible Caterease inventory/costing interfaces.
