How Puree works
From enquiry to kitchen, in three steps
One connected system that flexes to how your business actually runs — drop-off, events, venues, or all of the above.
Step 01
Capture the enquiry
However the enquiry arrives — phone, email, walk-in, or your online form — record the customer, dates and requirements in Puree. Everything you need to quote, in one place.
Step 02
Send a professional quote
Build a beautiful, detailed quote in minutes. Send a link — your customer reviews, accepts online with one click, and pays a deposit on the spot via Stripe if you'd like.
Step 03
Run the job, your way
Confirmed orders flow straight to chef dockets — plus driver run sheets, event briefs, packing lists or venue bookings, only if they apply to how you work. Nothing re-typed.

Trusted by caterers across the world
Don't just take our word for it
"Puree has completely transformed the way we manage proposals and events. It's brought a new level of structure and consistency to our quoting and event management process, reducing errors and creating a far more streamlined flow from event planning, to preparation, to execution. The efficiencies we've gained are significant."
"Puree has made our company so much more efficient and accurate. The chef and driver dockets are clear, detailed and easy to read which brings reduced human error, and the seamless transitions from quote to invoice to dockets reduce our admin time by approximately 3 hours per week. Couldn't recommend more!"
"The PUREE app has made our catering business run much more efficiently and smoothly. Since using the app, we have eliminated room for error in taking and fulfilling orders. The customer service is absolutely outstanding. I can not recommend PUREE enough to anyone who has a catering company!"

It's so easy to use, setup is a breeze, and the team is always releasing helpful software updates. Whenever we need assistance, customer service is super quick to respond. On top of that, it's NZ-owned and far more cost-effective than similar programmes out there. A must-have programme for caterers and venue management."

Why we built Puree
We've been in your kitchen
Puree was born from frustration. After years of running a catering business with clunky software that wasn't designed for caterers, we decided to build something better. We know what it's like to spend hours creating quotes, only to manually re-enter the same information for chef dockets. We know the panic when a dietary requirement gets missed. That's why every feature in Puree solves a real problem we've faced ourselves.
