Let me ask you something...

How often do you look at your catering numbers and think, "Well, we were busy... but were we profitable?"

If you're anything like I was back in the day, you don't have time to babysit spreadsheets or play detective. You're too busy putting out fires, feeding clients, and trying to remember where you put your car keys.

That’s why I built CaterZen's catering software, to be your right hand when it comes to understanding what’s actually moving the needle in your catering business.

Recently in our blog, we've been showing you how to use CaterZen's built-in reporting tools. This post builds on that foundation with a few extra calculations and power-user tips to help you dig deeper into your data and grow your catering business faster.

Let’s dig in.

Let me guess: You didn’t get into catering to become a spreadsheet jockey. But between writing quotes, tracking orders, and trying to remember which customer ghosted you last month... you might feel like you’re running a data company instead of a catering operation.

Well, good news. AI isn’t here to replace you. It’s here to rescue you.

Let me ask you something:

Have you ever flown blind?

No dashboard. No numbers. Just vibes and maybe a prayer.

That’s what it feels like trying to run a catering operation without clear, accurate reports.
