Use case

Event catering, from quote to production sheet

Every event is a small project: a quote, a menu, a team, equipment, an immovable deadline. Blueprint Maker generates the application that tracks YOUR events end to end — without an institutional-catering ERP.

Generate this application

The description is already written — free sign-up, then it's waiting for you in the composer.

A coordination trade under date pressure

An event caterer juggles three trackings that few tools unite: sales (requests, quotes, deposits), production (menus, quantities, production sheets) and logistics (staff, equipment, delivery). All under a constraint construction or consulting never face: the event date doesn't move.

The classic result: sales lives in the inbox, production on printed sheets, logistics in the owner's head — and every Saturday morning starts with a mental reconstruction of what was promised.

Your events, structured end to end

Describe your activity: “We do cocktails and seated dinners for weddings and corporate events. Each event has a client, a date, a venue, a guest count, a menu, a quote with a deposit, assigned staff and equipment to plan. I want the coming month's events, pending quotes and unpaid deposits.”

The generated application links it all: the request becomes a quote, the quote becomes an event, the event carries its menu, team and equipment — and the dashboard shows the month ahead, pending decisions and collections.

  • Requests and quotes with statuses and deposits
  • Events: date, venue, guests, menu
  • Staff assigned per event
  • Equipment to plan and retrieve
  • Dashboard: month ahead, quotes, collections

The production sheet flows from the data

When events are structured — menus, quantities, dates — preparation stops being a rewrite: the event record IS the reference, readable in the kitchen and on site, always current with the client's latest change.

Generated demo data simulates a realistic event book (seasons, event sizes, varied statuses) so you judge the tool on something concrete from the start.

The production tool belongs to you

Your menus, technical sheets and event history are know-how: they must stay with you. Code ZIP export, GitHub push, free hosting or the included dedicated URL — the application is a company asset, not one more subscription.

Free Discovery plan for the first application; Pro (€25/month) and Max (€149/month) to iterate, with the cost shown before each generation.

Frequently asked questions — event catering

Can we manage very different event types (cocktail, dinner, trays)?

Yes: describe your event types and what distinguishes them (format, pricing, equipment) — the generated structure reflects them, with matching filters.

Does the application compute quantities per guest?

Describe your rule (quantities per person by event type) and the matching fields structure the records. Complex technical-sheet calculations can later be added on the exported code.

Can the kitchen team read the sheets on the day?

It's a web application: the event record — menu, quantities, schedule, address — reads on a phone or tablet, always in its latest version.

Can we track deposits and balances?

Yes: the payment statuses you describe (deposit requested, received, balance due, settled) become application statuses, visible in lists and on the dashboard.

What do we need to start?

Describe your activity in plain language and generate with the Discovery plan (€0). You validate the proposed plan; the application arrives deployed with demo data.
