Your own booking page
Customers book or request, at midnight, without you
Every business gets its own page at getmanyger.com/book/your-shop. Put it in your Google listing, your Instagram bio, or print the QR for your window. Bookings land straight on your calendar with a confirmation text and a 24-hour reminder; where your trade takes requests instead, each one comes to you to confirm. And it books the way YOUR trade books, not a generic form.

The problem
Sound familiar?
Leads call during events and you lose them to a competitor who picks up
AI receptionist captures event details, headcount, dietary needs, and budget, then texts you a summary
You quote from gut feel instead of actual cost data
Per-event cost tracking with ingredient receipts shows your real margin on every job
Client communication lives across text, email, and voicemail
Unified inbox brings all client conversations into one place with status tracking
Repeat corporate clients do not rebook because nobody followed up
Automated rebooking nudges and seasonal outreach keep your best clients coming back
In practice
What this looks like for catering companies
"We are doing sixty people, second week of June."
It captures the date, the headcount, the venue and how to reach them, then puts the enquiry on your day. No price is offered on the call, because yours depends on things a phone call cannot see.
A caller asks what deposit you take.
If you have not set one, it does not invent one. Deposits, cancellation terms and anything described as free are never stated unless they came from you.
Someone messages on Instagram at ten at night.
The same receptionist answers there, in their language, and the conversation lands in one place with everything else.
How it works
How Manyger helps catering companies
Never miss an event lead
Manyger answers every call while you're on-site and captures the date, headcount, dietary needs, and budget in one pass. You get a texted brief you can quote from, not a voicemail you return two days late.
Know your margin per event
Receipt scanning ties ingredient, staffing, and rental costs to each job, so you see real profit on a wedding versus a corporate drop-off. Bid the next event from numbers, not a gut feel.
Keep corporate clients rebooking
Repeat accounts are your steadiest revenue, so Manyger nudges them back before the next quarterly meeting or holiday season. Every conversation stays in one inbox so nobody slips through between events.
Online Booking Requests
Your menu is never turned into appointments. Instead the page takes requests you confirm yourself (table reservations, private hire, catering and custom orders) with the date and how many people it's for, so you can reply properly.

FAQ
Common questions for catering companies
I'm always at an event when new leads call, will I lose them?
No. Manyger answers 24/7, captures the event date, headcount, dietary needs, and budget, then texts you a clean summary, so the lead is locked in while you're plating dinner across town.
Can it pin down the details I need to quote, not just take a name?
Yes. It asks the questions you would, guest count, service style, allergies, venue, budget, so you get a full brief instead of a callback that starts from zero.
My client threads are scattered across text, email, and voicemail, can it pull them together?
The unified inbox brings every client conversation into one place with status tracking, so nothing gets buried between a tasting and a delivery.
How do I know my real margin on an event instead of guessing?
Scan your ingredient and rental receipts and Manyger tracks cost per event against revenue, so you see your true margin on a 200-plate wedding before you bid the next one.
Does it work with QuickBooks and Google Calendar?
Yes. Event dates drop onto your Google Calendar and your revenue and expenses sync from QuickBooks automatically, no double entry between the booking and the books.
Will it help me win back corporate clients who only book once?
Yes. Automated rebooking nudges and seasonal outreach reach out before the next quarterly lunch or holiday party, so your best accounts come back instead of drifting to a competitor.
