CIPHER CRM for catering companies & banquet caterers, in plain words
A catering CRM is one place to win bookings: it captures enquiries for weddings, functions and corporate events, builds per-plate and menu quotes fast, keeps event dates on a shared calendar so a double-booking shows before you promise, and keeps every client on record for the next order, instead of a diary and WhatsApp.
Catering companies and banquet caterers across India serving weddings, functions, corporate events and social gatherings, from a family kitchen to a firm catering many events a week.

Do these everyday problems in catering companies & banquet caterers sound familiar?
Per-plate maths takes time, and nobody on your team is slow. Catering bookings get split across a diary, menu prices in a notebook, family enquiries on WhatsApp and corporate contacts on the owner's phone.
The same wedding date gets promised to two clients because bookings live in a diary.
Warm enquiries go quiet after the first call and no one follows up.
Corporate and repeat clients are not brought back for their next function.
Menu and pricing details are scattered, so every quote is rebuilt from scratch.
A family asks for a per-plate quote and gets it the same day from saved menus. Event dates sit on a shared calendar, so a double-booking shows up early. Corporate clients come up before their next function.
