Quotes from your price list

Build event quotes from your own menu items and rates — consistent pricing, sent by email, accepted online.

Deposits that secure the date

Record the deposit when the client confirms. The invoice tracks what's paid and what's due after the event — no spreadsheet reconciliation.

Every event on the calendar

Date, venue notes, menu decisions, and client contact — all on the booking, all on your phone on event day.

An event from enquiry to final payment
Step 1

Quote the event

Menu and pricing from your price list, sent for the client to accept online.

Step 2

Deposit and book

Deposit recorded, date locked in on the calendar with all the event details.

Step 3

Cater and collect the balance

After the event, invoice the balance and request a review while it's fresh.

FAQ

Can I take a deposit and bill the rest later?

Yes. Record the deposit against the invoice when the event is confirmed — the invoice shows the running balance until it's settled after the event.

Can clients see and accept quotes online?

Yes. Quotes are sent by email and the client accepts from a link — the acceptance is kept with the event record.

Does Tradeify manage my menu prices?

Yes. Your services and price items live in your account and drive every quote, so pricing stays consistent from event to event.
