Qualify the inquiry
Collect event date, venue, guest count, duration, selected service, and special requests. Follow the lead through clear sales stages.
PickupDock for catering
Turn a catering inquiry into a service plan.
Capture the brief, price the package, send a quote, collect a signature and deposit, and coordinate the event. Keep the final balance connected to the original agreement.
A workflow for your business
One record from the first guest count to the remaining balance.
Agree on the scope
Build a quote with packages, add-ons, travel, taxes, and a deposit. Keep a record of each version you send and the version the customer accepts.
Reserve and deliver
Capture a signature, collect the required payment, and confirm the booking according to your reservation rules. Assign the team and track the balance due.
Inside the workspace
Know what is agreed, signed, and still due.
The quote, signed agreement, event schedule, and payment obligations follow the customer into the booking. Staff can work from the same confirmed details.

Pricing you configure
Use guests, hours, distance, date, package, and quantities to calculate an itemized recommendation. Review it before sending.
Agreements with a record
Retain the exact contract version signed, signer details, and timestamp alongside the accepted quote and booking.
Deposits and balances
Require a flat deposit, a percentage, or full payment. Customers pay through your connected Stripe account; PickupDock updates the status after Stripe confirms payment.
Before you get started
Questions, answered.
Does an inquiry reserve the date?
No. An inquiry or instant estimate is not a reservation. Your rules determine whether signature, deposit, or full payment confirms the booking.
Can I revise a sent quote?
Yes. Create and send a new version rather than silently overwriting the published quote. The accepted version remains part of the customer record.
Is automatic post-event overage billing included?
Not yet. Deposits and balances are supported; a dedicated final-overage invoicing workflow is not currently available.
