For caterers
Every event inquiry answered. Every quote followed up until the deposit clears.
You're in the kitchen, loading the van or running a buffet across town. Selectlogiq answers the inquiries you can't take, gets the date, headcount and service style on the first reply, follows up after the tasting and the quote, and chases the final headcount before you order. An experienced team sets it up and runs it with you.

What changes
What catering owners get back
More booked events from the same inquiries
The bride who filled out five caterers' forms on a Sunday night hears from you first, with the right questions — so you're the one she books the tasting with.
Final headcounts before you place the order
Clients get reminded about the headcount deadline, dietary lists and the final payment, so you're not guessing on proteins the night before.
Corporate clients who come back and say so
The office manager who ordered the quarterly lunch gets asked for a review once the invoice is paid, and hears from you again before the next one.
A day with the system running
Sunday, 9:40 PM
A couple fills out your form while comparing caterers. They get an answer in minutes asking date, headcount, venue and plated or buffet — and a tasting on your calendar.
Day 6 after the quote
The planner is waiting on the couple. A short check-in in your voice answers the rentals question and gets the deposit paid through your payment link.
The Monday after the wedding
The chafers are washed and the couple is back from the weekend. That's when the review request goes out.

Growth playbook
The Catering Playbook
5 plays built for how catering actually sells — fast replies, tastings, and a lot of details before event day.
01 Answer the inquiry before the next caterer does
Couples and planners send the same inquiry to several caterers at once, often late at night. The system replies in minutes by text, email or chat, checks the date against your calendar, and asks what you'd ask — headcount, venue, drop-off or full-service, plated, buffet or family-style, dietary needs.
Plays we set up
- Every form, call and DM answered, day or night
- Date, headcount, venue and service style captured on the first reply
- Out-of-range or too-small events answered politely
- Event
- Wedding reception
- Guests
- About 120
- Service
- Buffet, full-service
- Next step
- Tasting booked
02 Turn tastings into signed contracts
The tasting went well, then the couple goes quiet while they talk to family and compare quotes. The system checks in after the tasting and after the proposal, answers the common questions your way — rentals, staffing, service charge, cake cutting — and stops the moment they reply.
Plays we set up
- Check-ins after the tasting and after the proposal
- Common questions answered the way you tell it to
- Deposit links through Stripe, Square or PayPal
03 Lock in the final headcount on time
Late headcounts and surprise dietary requests cost you food and sleep. Clients get reminders before the headcount deadline, the final payment and the menu lock, and their answers land in one timeline per event — so ordering day isn't a guessing game.
Plays we set up
- Reminders before headcount, menu and payment deadlines
- Dietary and allergy lists collected by text
- Every call and text in one timeline per event
You don’t have to build any of this. Every play comes set up, and our team tunes it to your business with you in your first week.
Hear it answer a call04 Ask for the review once the event is over
Nobody leaves a review during cleanup. Reputation Manager waits until the couple is back or the corporate invoice is paid, then sends a one-tap link. Every client gets the same chance to review.
Plays we set up
- Request timed to after the event or to the paid invoice
- Replies to reviews on your main profiles, in your voice
- A steady stream of recent reviews, not just after wedding season

“Our guests are still talking about the carne asada bar. The team ran the whole night.”

Questions from catering businesses
Do I have to stop using HoneyBook or Tripleseat?+
No. Keep sending proposals and building events there. HoneyBook connects through Zapier, so client details can move between the two. Selectlogiq handles the calls, the follow-up, the reminders and the reviews.
Can it tell a drop-off lunch from a full wedding?+
Yes. We train it on the questions you ask — date, headcount, venue, service style, dietary needs — and it books a tasting, sends a quote request to you or routes the lead the way you want.
What about dates I'm already booked?+
It checks your calendar. If you're full, it says so politely and, if you want, offers another date or a referral instead of taking a tasting slot.
When should a caterer ask for a review?+
For weddings, a few days after the event, when the couple is back and happy. For corporate orders, once the invoice is paid. You choose, and the request waits until then.
Does it work in Spanish?+
Yes. It handles English and Spanish, including callers who switch between the two mid-call.
