Never Miss Another Booking.

Rapid Inquiry Triage & Qualification

When a lead comes in via The Knot, WeddingWire, or your website, the VA responds within minutes. They ask pre-qualifying questions about guest count, venue, and budget to filter out tire-kickers before they hit your desk.

Custom Proposal Drafting

Using templates in Tripleseat or HoneyBook to build beautiful, itemized catering quotes based on the client's menu selections.

Sales Driver

Deposit & Contract Chasing

Following up relentlessly on sent proposals. Sending invoice reminders to ensure deposits are paid and dates are officially secured.

Tasting & Venue Walkthrough Scheduling

Coordinating complex calendars. The VA schedules menu tastings with the chef, sets up venue walkthroughs, and ensures the client has all the logistical details prior to the meeting.

Post-Event Review Harvesting

Sending automated "Thank You" emails the day after the event, politely requesting Google or Yelp reviews to boost your local SEO and credibility.

The Client Booking Pipeline

How we turn a chaotic inbox into a streamlined revenue engine.

1

Inbox Integration & SOPs

We securely connect to your `info@` or `events@` email alias and CRM. Your Project Manager maps out your pricing minimums, preferred response templates, and booking rules.

2

Daily Lead Triage

The VA monitors the inbox continuously. When an inquiry hits, they reply immediately with a beautiful digital brochure and a link to schedule a discovery call or tasting.

Proposal & Follow-Up

After you decide on the menu, the VA builds the formal quote in Caterease or HoneyBook, sends it to the client, and chases them until the deposit is paid and the date is locked.

4

BEO Generation & Billing

The VA finalizes the Banquet Event Order (BEO) for the kitchen. You are billed purely for the VA's operational hours; Project Manager oversight is always free.

Hospitality Requires Polish.

Sloppy emails lose high-end clients. See why successful caterers trust our managed teams over random marketplace freelancers.

Solo Freelancers

  • Unprofessional Tone

    A cheap freelancer might use poor grammar or the wrong tone, instantly turning off a bride planning a $30k wedding.

  • No Industry Context

    They don't understand the difference between a BEO, a plated dinner, or a food station minimum, requiring hours of your training time.

  • Single Point of Failure

    If they get sick during wedding season, your inbox completely halts and leads die on the vine.

Operations FAQ

No, you or your Executive Chef dictate the food and pricing. The VA takes your menu choices and professionally formats them into a proposal document or CRM quote to send to the client. They handle the administrative data entry, not the culinary creation.

Yes! Depending on your needs, we can set up a VoIP extension. The VA can act as your first-line receptionist, answering calls, taking messages, and gathering basic event details (date, guest count, venue) before routing complex questions to your sales manager.

We schedule the VA's shift to match your busiest inquiry hours. During their shift, standard SOP is to reply to a new lead within 15-30 minutes, drastically increasing your chances of securing the booking over slower competitors.
