KATER 2 was designed by and for all aspects of banquet catering professionals. The product evolution grew from a select team of application development resources with over 20 years of large corporate enterprise experience and an even greater pool of upscale premier catering professionals and venues to create and industry changing application that focused on every single aspect of enhancing and streamlining the entire banquet catering lifecycle.

It all started with a simple request…can we find a way to streamline and automate the age-old process known as… steak, chicken, or fish? Which as we all know requires waiters and servers to manually write down seat by seat what each and every guest choice is …then go to the floor manager and proceed to tally the results…and hope for best! The legacy methodology is both time-consuming as well as potentially laden with miscues, errors, and delays in order fulfillment. ‘Kater 2 Basic’ was initially and most specifically designed to solve this problem and provide an automated and instantaneous method of placing orders and having them electronically tallied with the push of a button. It also streamlines issues related to special orders, allergies, and general communication between all entities. Then there is the issue of under and over ordering by item...again Kater 2 provides “real time” predictive analytics that assist the kitchen in getting the exact count right every single time while virtually eliminating waste and saving time and money.

But why stop there? So, we decided there needs to be a seamless wing to wing IT solution that can facilitate the needs of ALL aspects of the banquet catering industry. Hence, we created ‘Kater 2 Enhanced’...starting with collecting every possible detail needed at the create BEO level, then automating the create event via the BEO details, and ultimately linking financial and contractual components. We now have a seamless automated application that can facilitate ALL back office needs, ALL “real time” event needs, and finally, ALL invoicing and accounting.

Again, we were not done just yet...what about the client? That is why we continued our software development evolution and came up with ‘Kater 2 Premier’. ‘Kater 2 Premier’ provides ALL the aforementioned ‘Kater 2 Basic’ and ‘Kater 2 Enhanced’ features and capabilities with the addition of a customer facing interface that provides “real time” read only optics to your client of the BEO details, contract terms and conditions, and detailed invoicing with itemized billing, detailed deposits, outstanding balance, due dates, and periodic automated reminders.

Our hope is to continue to evolve our product line until every single IT requirement for our clients is met and/or exceeded. Our mission is...along with every single client...to build a best of breed application that provides 10X the ROI and gives our clients and your clients the best possible solution for the best possible price.
