Catering Packages

Everything a Catering Package Can Include

A catering package gathers the parts of an event into one priced offering: fixed menu items with per-guest or fixed quantities, included staff positions with their rates and hours, and venue hire reservation types — all under a single per-head price.

Build a package once and reuse it across every matching enquiry. Add it to a quote, enter the guest count, and Puree works out the totals instantly, so high-volume and standardised events stop eating your quoting time.

Flexible Choices Your Customers Make

Packages don't have to be rigid. Define categories where the customer chooses from a curated list — pick three canapés from eight, or one main from two — with limits on how many they can select.

On your online order form, customers make those selections themselves and the real items land straight in the order. They get a sense of choice; you keep pricing simple and predictable.

Itemised Detail Behind the Scenes

The customer sees a clean per-head price, but Puree always knows exactly which items sit inside each package. Chef dockets, driver run sheets and consolidated reports stay fully itemised, so your kitchen and operations lose none of the detail they need.

Mix packages and individual line items on the same quote for a hybrid approach — a package for the core menu, per-item pricing for extras like additional beverages or late-night snacks — and everything rolls up into one total.
