What we hear most

These are the problems event caterers tell us about most.

“Every event is another allergen spreadsheet from scratch”
A hundred events a year means a hundred separate documentation jobs in Word and Excel.
“Two events in one day, and the wrong allergen sheet on the wrong table”
Different menus, last-minute swaps, printed docs — it’s one mix-up waiting to happen.
“A PDF emailed a week before doesn’t win the corporate work”
Clients and planners expect a polished menu they can share with guests in advance.

The tender you’re pitching for

A live link they can check before they sign.

A procurement team asks how you handle allergens for a catering tender. You send a live link — every dish’s allergens declared, a dietary filter guests can use in advance, any item editable right up to service — and the printed allergen sheet if they want it on file. They can see exactly what their guests will get, before they commit.

We do 90 events a year. Before Octopus Menu I was building an allergen spreadsheet for every single one. Now I build the menu in the dashboard once per event, share the QR with the venue, and if the client calls day-before to swap a starter I update it from my phone while I’m on the call. Three corporate clients have mentioned the digital menu in their post-event feedback as a positive.
