Why catering businesses use a proposal program instead of Microsoft Word
Many catering still use Microsoft Word or some other word processor to create their proposals. A previously created template is modified manually and then sent as a PDF. Sounds easy, but in practice this takes a lot of time, the chance of errors is high and you no longer have insight into your quotation after sending.
With the use of a proposal program it has become a lot easier and better for entrepreneurs. You still use templates as a basis, but now you have a full content library in which you can search and reuse texts. The chance of errors is minimal due to smart automation. And after sending you can still adjust your quotation and you will get insight when your customer views the proposal. The modern interactive presentation options make an impression and the option to digitally sign makes it very easy for a customer to agree.

Large, corporate organizations generally like to do business with peers. Nevertheless, more and more partnerships are being concluded with smaller companies and/or startups. This allows these large organizations to innovate faster. Smaller companies and startups in turn benefit from the knowledge, facilities and network of corporate organizations.

The terms "catering" and "event catering" are often used interchangeably, although this is not technically correct. While an event caterer is someone who specialises in creating dishes for a particular event, a caterer generally provides services to the public, which can include organising events, providing buffet-style meals and providing for group dining.
