Juggling spreadsheets, group texts, and separate apps leads to missed prep, wrong quantities, and last-minute scrambles.

One connected platform. An approved order flows straight into prep, grocery, staffing, and packing.

The workflow

From order to event, every step connected

Approve an order and the prep plan, packing list, and client confirmation email build themselves. Shopping and staffing follow in a click.

01

Take and track every event

Capture every catering order with its date, menu, and details in one place.

02

Know exactly what to prep

Approved orders turn into a clear, timed prep plan for your kitchen automatically.

03

Buy the right amount

Generate shopping lists straight from what you need to cook, grouped by aisle.

04

Staff every event

Build schedules, assign the right people, and track hours and tips.

05

Pack the right gear

Auto-build a packing checklist per event so nothing gets left behind.

Along the way, Scaled keeps your recipes and menus, client records, real-time kitchen tasks, print-ready labels, and email and SMS notifications in sync, across every location and under your own branding.

Orders and events

Every catering event, organized from the first call

Build each order with its date, menu, service type, and client details in a single record. Approve it, and Scaled sends the client a confirmation and sets your kitchen in motion. Once the event date passes, the order closes itself.

  • An approval step that locks in the details.
  • In-house, drop-off, and pick-up service types.
  • Automatic client confirmation emails.
  • Recurring orders for repeat clients.
