Powerful Tools. Simplified Workflow

1

End-to-End Catering Workflow

Flex manages everything in one platform — proposals, quotes, orders, events, menus, kitchen production, reporting, and delivery. Unlike Caterease, which often requires extra tools and manual workarounds, Flex covers both drop-off catering and event catering in one seamless system.

From the first inquiry to the final delivery, every stage of your catering process is connected, so you can eliminate double entry, save time, and run smoother operations across single or multiple locations.

2

Branded Online Ordering

Showcase your menus online with a professional, fully branded ordering site for both B2B and B2C clients. Create dedicated menus, assign customer-specific price lists, set order cut-off times, and manage closure periods with ease.

Give your clients the convenient, self-service ordering experience they expect, while you reduce admin time and eliminate errors. Unlike Caterease, Flex includes built-in online ordering as part of the platform.

3

CRM & Lead Management

Capture new opportunities, assign leads to your sales team, and track every stage of the pipeline in one place. Flex gives you better visibility and control over client relationships, helping you turn inquiries into long-term corporate accounts.

Convert leads faster with built-in CRM. No more juggling spreadsheets or disconnected tools.

4

Centralized Communication

Keep all event messaging in one place, for both your team and your clients. Flex centralizes notes, updates, and approvals so nothing gets lost in emails or spreadsheets.

With clear communication connected directly to each order or event, your business runs smoother and your clients stay informed every step of the way.

5

Proposal Builder with Variable Data and eSign

Create stunning branded proposals, contracts, and event documents — all in one place. Reuse templates, customize layouts, and send for online approval in minutes.

Impress clients and save hours with a document builder designed for both speed and professionalism, something legacy systems like were never built to handle.

6

Easy-to-Use BEOs and Kitchen Production

Turn complex orders into clear, automated production sheets and delivery runs with just a few clicks. Flex helps your kitchen and delivery teams stay on the same page by connecting orders directly to production and routing.

With everything in one system, you eliminate double handling, reduce errors, and keep operations moving smoothly from prep to delivery.

7

Driver App & Delivery

Flex includes a driver app with proof of delivery, something Caterease has never offered.

Assign routes, share delivery notes, and capture proof of delivery in real time. Give your drivers the tools they need to stay efficient.

For last-mile flexibility, connect with local delivery services while keeping customers updated in real time.

9

Calendar

Manage all your catering activity in one powerful calendar, from corporate events to daily drop-off orders. Flex gives your team full visibility across bookings, production, and deliveries, so nothing slips through the cracks.

10

Staff Scheduling & Integrations

Simplify staffing for catering events with built-in scheduling tools, staff billing, and seamless integrations with Deputy and Nowsta. Sync schedules effortlessly to keep your team organized and every event fully staffed.

Unlike Caterease, Flex connects staffing with your catering operations through modern integrations — saving time, reducing errors, and ensuring smoother events from start to finish.

11

Equipment Hire and Tracking

Manage catering equipment with confidence. Flex tracks allocations, prevents double-bookings, and ensures items are returned to stock after each event.

Always know what’s available, what’s out, and where it needs to go next. So your events run smoothly and nothing slips through the cracks.

12

Integrated Payments

Seamlessly process payments inside Flex. Collect deposits and balances faster with secure online payments, and give clients flexibility with invoice options for house accounts directly at checkout.

Keep standard payments simple and seamless for everyone else. Unlike Caterease, Flex includes modern, fully integrated payments built right into the platform.

We have been using Flex Catering for over 4 years in our Perth based catering business. We chose Flex after researching several other platforms and it was the best decision we ever made for the business. From the very start, we were amazed at the amount of time we saved on administration in both the office and kitchen. At first we were concerned about the cost of switching to an online catering program as we are a small business. However not only was Flex the most competitively priced platform, it ended up saving us the cost of another full time wage in the office. Our customers also love the online ordering system as is easy for them to place orders and pay online, and our overall business increased as a result. The support is great and they respond to any query or request very quickly. They are also always updating the program with even more new features and are responsive to suggestions from their clients. We highly recommend Flex Catering for any size catering business.

Flex Catering was the best business decision we made. It has built consistency within the business and provided transparency for our customers. Now customers can view and order from our online menu. Our staff can easily identify the confirmed orders and print specific production reports for the kitchen and drivers.
Customer support is always online and very helpful. New versions are released every few weeks or so with nice additional features which are always very welcome and helpful.
A big thumbs up to the Flex team :)
